Bio:

Blue House Farm is a CCOF-certified organic farm located in Pescadero and San Gregorio, CA. San Diego native and first-generation farmer Ryan Casey became interested in farming while taking agriculture courses in college. After completing an internship with the Center for Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at UC Santa Cruz and working on several farms, he decided to launch his own organic operation. In 2005, the Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) awarded Blue House Farm a lease on land in Pescadero. The farm has since grown, working with POST to restore and steward a historic 74-acre ranch in San Gregorio, where they also provide housing for most of their year-round farmworkers. Operation in two different microclimates allows Blue House Farm to be widely biodiverse year-round. Cool-weather crops thrive in the fog on the San Gregorio property, while heat-loving crops revel in the Pescadero ranch’s sunny climate.

With support from POST,  Blue House raised a redwood timber frame barn on the San Gregorio ranch in 2019. The barn now houses their year-round Farmstand, which provides the local community with the freshest produce around, and is the hub for their seasonal strawberry and pumpkin U-pick programs and other community events. We're honored to have Blue House in the Santa Cruz market circuit selling weekly at the Westside since 2016.
