Capay Valley Organic Farm consists of a rectangular shaped, single parcel of land totaling about 40 net farmable acres comprised of prime cultivated soils including a 9-acre dry block of old almonds. A former farmstead dwelling (consumed by fire) is situated along Heather Creek, which forms the northern boundary. Otherwise, the property is fronted by public maintained roads on three sides with State Highway 16 on the east side; County Rd. 50 on the S and County Road 49 on the W (gravel and asphalt paved). There are existing gated access points off all frontages with tall wire fencing around the entire perimeter. The primary access for the farming operation is off County Road 50 while the more private access is off Highway 16. The primary topographic feature of the land is Heather Creek which flows down from Hamilton Canyon (the gap in the Coast Range) which flows into Cache Creek about mile downstream. Heather Ck. flows vary with heaviest volumes in the winter carrying run-off from the western canyons and sustained to a light flow in the summer that is spring fed. Natural elevations vary from 385 feet above sea level at the SW corner and is lowest in the NE corner at 357 feet. Thus, the property has excellent natural drainage and deep well-drained loamy alluvial soils. While the fields are generally flat, they have not been leveled and have been irrigated using sprinkler lines and sub-surface drip techniques. There is an excellent ag well that sources groundwater for irrigation and is connected to a 6 diameter buried PVC mainline extending down the middle of the farm for excellent distribution to all fields. Riser valve outlets provide mainline access ports for irrigation apparatus. Interior roads have been graveled to allow all-season access which is very important for those wet springs and late fall harvests. The farm has been organically farmed but organic certification has lapsed (but could be easily attained again by the current owner). The old orchard was last utilized for free range poultry and egg production.
Capay Valley Organic Farm has excellent natural resources and developed assets that make this a true turn-key opportunity for the next visionary that is seeking to get their hands in the dirt or a new homestead could be rebuilt upon the mature oak shaded grounds and utilizing the electrical service, domestic well and sanitary sewer systems in place with the cropland leased to one of the existing farm operations in the Capay Valley.
