At Zava Ranch, we grow Beyond Organic fruit and herbs that are not only Certified Organic, but also veganic, chemical-free, pesticide-free, unsprayed, unwaxed, uncoated, and non-GMO.
Because our customers ask for more variety and a longer season, we now supplement our harvest with trusted California growers whose approach aligns with our own.

Beyond Organic Farming, Research & Stewardship
Zava Ranch is a family-owned and operated farm and orchard in Somis, Ventura County, California.
We have chosen to take on the challenge to farm without pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, manure, or other animal-derived agricultural inputs. We do not wax or coat the fruit, artificially ripen it, or apply post-harvest chemical treatments to improve its appearance or extend its shelf-life.
We call the way we farm “Beyond Organic” because our practices go far beyond the requirements of organic certification.
We live here. We raise our family here. We eat the fruit from these trees, and our children play in the same orchard where our food is grown.
We grow food in a way that respects the people who eat it, the land that produces it, and the wildlife that shares the farm with us.
Doesn’t Organic designation automatically mean not grown with chemicals?
Organic certification does not mean that no pesticides, fertilizers, or agricultural inputs are used. Organic standard only restricts which chemicals can be used.
We have chosen to exclude all chemicals, regardless of their permission status under organic standard.
We use only water, sunlight, and the existing orchard ecosystem.
Isn’t all Organic Farming Veganic by default?
People are sometimes surprised to learn that organic agriculture is not necessarily veganic. Quite the opposite.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that organic standard restricts which chemicals can be used, many organic farms rely heavily on animal-derived materials such as manure, blood meal, bone meal, feather meal, fish meal, or fish emulsion.
We choose not to use any animal-derived inputs.
Applied Agricultural Research
At Zava Ranch, we are challenging practices that agriculture has accepted for decades. We question:
- Why do chemicals need to be applied at all?
- Why does vegetation (“weeds”) need to be removed?
- Can “pests” be managed by adjustments to their habitat and orchard design?
- Can irrigation be reduced without compromising productivity?
- Can wildlife and pollinator habitat be expanded?
- How do damaged trees recover after a major wildfire?
- How should orchard be rebuilt to increase resilience?
The potential impact of our research goes beyond our orchard: less chemical use, cleaner soil and water, lower exposure for farmworkers and nearby communities, larger habitat for pollinators and wildlife, efficient water use, and better understanding of wildfire recovery.
Moreover, our field-based grower-led research gives other growers the evidence they need to make informed decisions on how they farm.
Purchases from Zava Ranch directly support our agricultural research and the field work behind it.
