About Us / Phil Foster Ranches Pinnacle History:
Produce grown organically on 250 acres across ranches in both San Juan Bautista and Hollister, CA. Organically certified through C.C.O.F. and I.F.O.A.M.. Use cover crops and compost to build the soil. To manage pests, we try to use enviornmentally friendly techniques (e.g. attract beneficial insects, compost tea, hedgerows, and owl boxes). We try to spray as minimally as possible - when or if we need to, we only use organic sprays. Use drip irrigation whenever possible to conserve water. We pay our employees fair wage and benefits. We use biodiesel wherever we can (e.g. trucks, tractors) and also use solar panels to improve our use of alternative energy sources.
