Casey Mazzucchi

Casey is a solid, gentle man. He is a 4th generation sheep rancher and knows land and animals from an innate experience, growing up along one of the last pristine lands coming to rest at the estero on the way to the sea. Animals and people love him. They flock to his presence, because he is solid ground in a crazy world, he's calming to be around, and he is a natural teacher of life, of family and deep compassion. He can make anything and has a creativity that is ancient and admired by many. He is a great role model for young and adult men alike and a natural teacher. In addition to his land stewardship, he builds/repairs, fences, barns, arenas, and more. You can see more under SERVICES.

Ariana is undoubtedly the most motivated woman I know. Her determination, drive and love for life are a source of power from which she creates in a unique way. As a teacher, she is direct and strong, offering a reflection to step up and into the life that you aspire to and bringing out the best in people who are ready to fly.

Our holisitc earth lifestyle

We believe in the interconnectedness of all things. It is time to simplify our lives and take time every day to thank the earth and all of her amazing gifts. We focus on a holistic Earth approach to healthy living that embraces our interdependence to land, animals, plants, weather and the invisible blessings of the web of life that we are a part of.

Natural, organic, low carbon footprint

We pride ourselves on living with a light footprint on Mother Earth. Our products are made with only organic, natural ingredients. We choose materials and products that are as locally produced as possible. We avoid plastics. We prefer recycled materials. We also minimize packaging on purpose.

We grow, we cook, we preserve

The food we grow is the food we love to eat. We are passionate land stewards with a deep appreciation of our wild plant and animal life that share our ranch with us. Our gardens are on the wild side, with plenty of wild herbs that partner with our cultivated plants, and nurture the bees and butterflies.
