The Farm

Gauchito Hill Farm is a ten acre certified organic farm located in the beautiful Capay Valley, California, about 90 miles east of San Francisco and 40 miles west of Sacramento.  We grow a variety of organic fruit and vegetables, which can be found at several Bay area farmers' markets, grocery stores, online grocery retailers and restaurants. We are committed to utilizing sustainable, organic farming methods that work to improve the soil health and surrounding environment of the farm. We are advocates for re-building small-scale agriculture businesses in ways that are transparent and socially sustainable. Most importantly, we love growing good food and sharing the stories behind it.

The namesake

Gauchito Gil was an Argentine folk hero, an outlaw known for protecting small farmers.
