Frog Hollow Farm is a thriving organic regenerative 280-acre farm located in Brentwood, California. We’ve been growing legendary fruit since 1976. Our orchard is home to thousands of trees that produce peaches, nectarines, cherries, mulberries, apricots, apriums, plums, pluots, Asian and European pears, olives, persimmons, quince, apples, and more. We are certified organic with C.C.O.F. (California Certified Organic Farmers) and are committed to regenerative practices. We proudly make 3,000 tons of compost annually, store carbon in our soil, foster biodiversity above and below ground, and conserve water. Everything we do on the farm to care for our soil, trees, and team translates into high unparalleled flavor in our fruit. Our highly skilled team picks our fruit tree-ripe, allowing for maximum flavor and nutrients to develop. Just steps from our orchard, our Farm Kitchen produces an incredible array of high-quality artisan foods, many featuring our fruits. In addition to our growing practices, we are committed to caring for our team. Many farms rely primarily on seasonal hires, and though our ranks swell during the harvest season as well, because we care for our trees by hand and produce gourmet foods, we provide year-round employment for our team and host monthly wellness workshops.
