Gold Ridge Organic Farms, LLC
Gold Ridge Organic Farms is located 50 miles northwest of San Francisco in the rolling hills of Sebastopol in beautiful Sonoma County, California. Founder-Farmer Brooke Hazen settled here in 2001 knowing that sandy loam soils and coastal breezes would offer ideal conditions for farming. He planted 70 acres of olives, 16 acres of heirloom apples, asian pears, a variety of citrus fruits, and English lavender.
The proximity of Gold Ridge Organic Farms to the Pacific Ocean in West Sonoma County offers unique benefits for farming. Temperatures are cooler than inland locations, thanks to generous breezes from the Sonoma Coast. The sandy loam of Gold Ridge soils provides excellent drainage and an outstanding natural chemical balance to all our orchards. The unique combination of soil, climate, and place is the foundation for growing healthy and delicious fruit.
We offer custom olive milling for conventional and Certified Organic growers, large and small, with a 50-pound minimum. During olive harvest, we process fruit in our beautiful, state-of-the-art Italian Rapanelli olive press, October through December. We can process two tons of fruit per hour with our two-phase blade method press. We also offer bottling services. Milling is available by appointment only.

We grow 21 olive cultivars in the hills of West Sonoma County on our 88 acre farm, including Arbequina, Minerva, Picholine, Leccino, Frantoio, among many others. We produce four organic Estate grown and milled olive oil blends and two citrus olive oils. The trees are harvested with mechanical rakes and the olives are milled within hours of harvest at our state-of-the-art, on-site mill to preserve freshness and best flavors. Gold Ridge Organic Farms produces award-winning, medicinal-quality certified Extra Virgin olive oils that are robust, fresh and full of antioxidants. The olives are harvested in November and December each year. Gold Ridge Organic Farms offers custom olive milling for area olive growers, from the small home grower to large commercial producers. |
