Jacobs Farm was founded in 1980 as a small organic family farm dedicated to growing fresh, high quality, delicious food without damaging the environment. Forty years later, their unwavering pursuit of social change in farming and business practices remains at the core of their company. They have expanded to 471-acres of crops and an additional one million square feet of greenhouse space along California’s Central Coast.

Early pioneers in organic farming methods, organic certification, and Fair Trade practices, husband and wife co-founders Larry Jacobs and Sandra Belin began pursuing a healthier way of farming after Larry fell unconscious as a result of exposure to toxic pesticides. Since then, they’ve dedicated themselves to farming without the use of harmful chemicals.

Their mission is to grow great tasting, healthy food in a socially and environmentally responsible manner.  They strive for a sustainable approach to agriculture, using sound business practices and organic farming methods. They are proud to have helped many individuals and communities prosper through an unwavering vision geared toward social change.

They leveraged their years of experience to develop a co-op of over 1,300 organic farmers in Mexico now known as the Del Cabo Cooperative.
