Sustainably Grown

Every fruit we harvest is grown with care for the land, the seasons, and the planet.

From soil to tree to table, we prioritize practices that nourish the earth and ensure each bite is as fresh and flavorful as nature intended.

Joyful Discovery

We invite curiosity, creativity, and a little whimsy in everything we do, from our orchard walks to our recipes and classes.

Life at Heritage Valley Family Orchard is meant to be savored, celebrated, and shared… sometimes with a spontaneous recipe invention or new friendships made during events at the orchard.

Our values

Avocado from Santa Paula subscription box

Hand-wrapped. Ocean-kissed. 

Always a 

little extra.

Each month, we send a curated box of Southern California avocados - handpicked from our Heritage Valley Family Orchard and wrapped like a treasured gift. Every avocado nestles in color-coded tissue paper, inviting you to savor the surprise of each variety as it ripens, just as we do here on the farm.

Inside each box: a variety of peak-season avocados, plus a thoughtfully selected treasure from our land; perhaps a sprig of fresh lavender, or citrus grown steps from our century-old ranch house.

Each color-coded wrap corresponds to a unique avocado variety, some rich and buttery, others bright and nutty, all ripening in their own time, just like they do on the tree. It’s our way of bringing the rhythm of the orchard straight to your kitchen counter.

Each box is an experience - a taste of tradition, wrapped in sunshine and sent with love from our family orchard nestled in Santa Paula’s rolling hills.

Rooted in Heritage

Our Family Story

Our orchard story began over a century ago, when our grandparents built the original farmhouse that overlooked the groves. Nestled in the heart of Heritage Valley in agriculture heaven, Santa Paula, California, our land has been lovingly tended by generations committed to growing with intention, from the soil to the family table. What started as a simple hillside orchard has become a living legacy of sustainability, seasonality, and heart.

Our ears were ringing when Bella said

“We are "avocado-spoiled" forever. We got some from the grocery store last week and I would rather just wait for the avocado box. They have so much more flavor!”
