who we are

Avocados run in the family — meet Ellen and Hank.

Once upon a time, they had two coffee cans in their backyard.

With avocado trees in them, of course.

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

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.

The Brokaw Ranch Company Crew tends 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.
