Rancho Piccolo

Rancho Piccolo is a 60 acre organic farm operated by David Silveira and his family. The farm began in 2005 and is located in Atwater, California. We produce organic vegetables and fruits for our weekly delivery program or CSA. David’s love for farming began on the Azores islands where he learned to farm with his father. He then returned to the U.S. and studied agriculture at Cal Poly SLO. After graduating he worked in agriculture until we started our farm. We strive to have diversity on the farm and to sell what the farm produces. Occasionally the farm will collaborate or partner with another local organic farms to supplement your boxes with additional varieties of produce. We believe that this is the way a small family farm with limited capital can establish itself in a market place currently under the control of large corporations. We are working to provide the tools and support to make cooking seasonal and local produce easier for our members, by providing recipes and ideas that are simple, while highlighting the natural flavor and sweetness of each ingredient. We understand that eating seasonally is not the easiest thing to do, but want to help people enjoy eating healthy fruits and vegetables at their peak of freshness.
