Rancho Vasquez
Azusa, CA
Rancho Vasquez is a local family owned and operated business dating back three generations. Originally we harvested organic avocados to supply the Vasquez family restaurant. Since then we have grown into a 123-acre organic avocado orchard in the foothills of Azusa, CA where the Vasquez family all reside together. Still committed to family, and the orchard, harvest time is an event in the Vasquez household where every family member is involved – big and small.
Rancho Vasquez has been organic for years, even before the time came when it was necessary to be certified organic. Organic practices have been handed down from generation to generation in the Vasquez family. Some of the first avocados arriving in California were planted in the San Gabriel Valley and our micro-climate and rich soil are perfect for avocados. Rancho Vasquez is the only avocado orchard left in the San Gabriel Valley, nestled in the foothills of Azusa. The pride and hard work that goes into caring for each tree is immeasurable. We have recently received official Organic Certification in 2007 however, at Rancho Vasquez our trees have been cared for organically for decades.
