AT FOGLINE WE ARE PROUD TO BE A PART OF A GREATER NETWORK OF SMALL SCALE & SUSTAINABLE FARMS.
Pajaro Pastures
Owned and operated by Ryan Abelson. Ryan was one of our first interns from UCSC. Ryan was immediately fascinated with livestock management and upon graduating, sought guidance and support from Fogline in building and managing his own flock of pasture-raised egg layers. Today, Ryan is running a flock of 400 chickens in Corralitos.
In 2014, Fogline partnered with Pajaro Pastures to raise egg layers together. By combining forces, both Fogline and Pajaro are able to focus their attention on other projects, while minimizing impact on the land and their lives at their respective farms.
We carry Pajaro Pastures eggs at all of our farmers market booths

Antonio & Sons Pasture Raised Eggs
Fogline’s field manager, Antonio Reyes, raises a mixed flock of egg layers with his family for Fogline to sell at their farmers market booths. Organic fed and free to roam the same pastures as Fogline’s broiler chickens.
Corvus Farm
Owned and operated by Rob James. Rob raises rabbits, ducks for eggs, and quail for meat and eggs. As of March 2020, Corvus is the first tenant of Fogline’s at the Ano Nuevo Ranch as we try to convert the land back to organic with sustainable practices and rebuild the ecosystem after decades of conventional agriculture.
Mariposa Ranch
Mariposa Ranch is a family run ranch with a mission to bring great tasting, healthy, sustainable beef to our customers. Mariposa believes in responsible stewardship for the earth, the animals under their care and serving Their customers. They don’t use steroid implants or antibiotics on their cattle or push their production faster than nature intended. Just Pasture Raised, Pasture Finished, Grass Fed Beef From California.
We now carry Mariposa Ranch ground beef and a selection of steaks and roasts at the Downtown, Westside, Scotts Valley, and Live Oak Santa Cruz Farmers Markets.

PT Ranch
PT Ranch is a regenerative, pastured based ranch, located outside of the Sierra foothill town of Ione, CA. The Taylor’s specialize in regenerative meats, olive oil, honey and lavender. In the beginning of 2020, we began to work closely with them to build their hog program. They raise a Berkshire, Hampshire, and Duroc cross on pasture and in the forest. They are fed a corn and soy free GMO-free feed, along with waste veggies and milk from the farm, and acorns and black walnuts in the fall.
We are excited to be working with them in 2020 and beyond. We will be bringing in their whole carcasses and putting our in-house butcher skills to the job to supply our community with fresh cuts and sausage.
Pork can be found at all of our farmers markets.

Root Down Farm
Owned and operated by Dede Boies in Pescadero, CA. Dede raises Freedom Ranger chickens, ducks, turkeys, and hogs on her 60 acre ranch. Dede and I were apprentices at Pie Ranch together in 2008. We always stayed in touch, but it wasn’t until 2017, when Fogline started leasing land at the Ano Nuevo Ranch, that we realized we were just minutes away from each other and we have been working closely together since, sharing ideas, answering questions, and sharing equipment. We hope to collaborate on livestock and products in the next few years.
