Avocados are in the family

Ellen and Hank began growing avocado trees in coffee cans in their backyard.

And since those humble beginnings, growth and innovation are traveling down the family tree.

Who we are

Brokaw Ranch Company is committed to cultivating the land and premium fruit in Ventura and Monterey Counties! The passion for growing avocado and subtropical fruit runs in the family. Brokaw Nursery supplies trees to farmers and Will’s Avocados distributes fruit in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Farming in Southern California

We tend ranches in Ventura and Monterey Counties, California. It takes many hands to nurture fruit to life. We’re grateful for our dedicated employees. Our team tends the crops, invests in groundbreaking and environmentally responsible farming methods, and cultivates community.

Subtropical fruit and avocado varieties are shared with our community partners, and we reserve special fruit for our monthly Brokaw Box.
