Noble ranch is an organic ranch total 160 acres, growing 30 acres of Avocados and 45 acres of lemons, all certified by USDA using certifier CCOF. Wild mountains surround three sides of this ranch; only one side has a neighbor, separated with 60 feet wide roads, 6 feet of height difference above neighbor land.
We firmly believe organic farming is the right way to be agriculturally and environmentally sustainable and supply nutrition rich food. We use mulch, chicken, goose, duck and goat manure to enrich the land. We use grass, weeds and branches grown on the ranch to make mulch, all animals are our own, and reside inside the ranch. We use no chemical fertilizers. |

We will supply organic animals later after we set up fence to defend us from coyotes. Now, we lose a big number of animals to coyotes.
We mainly use birds to control insects. We build up bushes to attract birds, put up owl houses to attract owls to control gofer and rats. So far so good, we pick whatever birds do not damage. We only did once organic oil spray at 2008, which is permitted by the organic program. We will do our best even to limit or delete this.
We use only human labor and tractors to control weeds around year. Human labor for weeds around trees, tractors for weeds between rows.
We have UPS pick up schedules every workday, so we will ship out at same day we pick fruits up from the trees.
We also own electronic business, supply wireless solar moisture controlled auto irrigation system. Please take a look at our website www.anctech.com also.
