Regenerative Agriculture

A Living Landscape for the Future

Rancho Tajiguas Preserve continues its long agricultural legacy while charting a new path toward ecological regeneration.

GCC is advancing pilot programs in soil health, water conservation, and habitat restoration — integrating these efforts with existing avocado and persimmon operations to demonstrate that working lands can also be thriving ecosystems.

From Extraction to Renewal

Rather than separating agriculture from nature, Rancho Tajiguas Preserve embraces them as partners. Our goal is to prove that regenerative practices can enhance productivity, restore biodiversity, and contribute to regional climate resilience.

We are collaborating with academic institutions and local innovators to transform the ranch into a research and demonstration hub for climate-smart agriculture on the California coast.

An Invitation to Partner

As we strengthen the property’s operations and prepare for its conservation easement, GCC invites visionary partners — philanthropic, academic, and agricultural — to help shape this pioneering model for the future of the Gaviota Coast.
