INCOME OPPORTUNITY
Historically utilized for alfalfa and grain production, Green Valley Ranch has leased fields for rotation to potato production as well as the production of strawberry runners. Butte Valley is highly favored for strawberry runner propagation due to its combination of well-drained sandy loam soils, steady groundwater supply, and cool, dry summers that promote healthy root development and minimize disease pressure. The region’s high elevation and predictable frost cycles help regulate plant dormancy, creating ideal conditions for strong, uniform runner stock. Butte Valley contributes a significant share of California’s certified strawberry runner production, supplying a major portion of the planting stock used by growers throughout the state’s coastal regions. The valley’s climate consistency and isolation from disease pressures have made it one of the most trusted sources for runner production in the western United States. Existing infrastructure supports commercial-scale operations with ample irrigation capacity.
AREA HISTORY
Butte Valley has long been a center for agriculture in northern California, settled by ranchers and farmers drawn to its productive volcanic soils and steady water table. The region continues to sustain hay, potato, strawberry runner, cattle, and grain operations that supply markets throughout the West.
