Sierra Cascade Farm is a family-owned and operated farm located in the Lassen foothills, east of Chico, California. John and Armen Carlon, with their sons, have been farming the 61-acre property since 1989. Certified by CCOF since 1993, Sierra Cascade is one of the oldest blueberry farms in California!

Sierra Cascade blueberries are heritage variety ‘highbush’ blueberries, picked fresh at their peak, resulting in a berry that is always sweet, plump and flavorful. Consistent taste and quality over the years has earned this farm a loyal following, season after season.

The Carlons continuously work towards creating a fair and positive working environment, improving the natural aspects of their land, and integrating their farm into the larger natural landscape including the watershed and native habitat. They rely on a diverse cast of wildlife– bumble bees, gophers, and Cooper’s hawks– to help them successfully balance the natural environment with the cultivated one. Committed to sustainable growing, they installed solar panels on the farm, which power the irrigation pumps.

Following their dedication to taking care of the Earth, Sierra Cascade features an innovative volume-fill ten-pound blueberry pack, reducing plastic packaging; check it out!

For 20+ years, John Carlon worked with River Partners, an environmental nonprofit that has planted over a million native trees and restored thousands of acres of natural habitat. Click HERE to watch a 16-minute video where John speaks on his endeavors of rewilding rivers.

We are proud to partner with growers like the Carlon family who are deeply committed to organic and sustainable practices while producing the most delicious fruit.
