The hay collection
High quality hay from the High Sierra Valley
In 2000, Green Gulch Ranch acquired 1500 acres of tillable land, dedicating it first to high-quality alfalfa and then transitioning to grass hay for the local horse market. Now, over two-thirds of the land is in grass hay production, using a blend of five grasses under center pivot irrigation for a nutritious crop. The ranch employs sustainable farming practices like no-till drilling and modern swathers, with a strong focus on equipment maintenance.
Green Gulch Ranch also prioritizes conservation, dedicating significant effort to wildlife habitat development. Over the past twenty years, they have constructed five ponds for waterfowl and other wildlife, and their land supports the largest mule deer herd in the county. This dedication to both agriculture and wildlife creates a unique environment that attracts visitors and underscores their commitment to sustainable and effective land management.
