About the Farm

Background

Founded in 2011 by John and Molly Chester, Apricot Lane Farms spans 234 acres of countryside in Moorpark, California. Known for its integration within a reawakened ecosystem, the farm has gained recognition through the award-winning documentary 'The Biggest Little Farm,' which chronicles the Chesters' journey to create a sustainable farm. The film has been screened in over 275 theaters across the US and released in more than 20 countries worldwide.

Practices

Apricot Lane Farms employs regenerative techniques that mimic nature, focusing on building healthy soil, maximizing biodiversity, and utilizing animals to solve farm challenges. The farm raises cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks on pastures and within orchards, working in harmony with the dynamic ecosystem. Certified organic and biodynamic, the farm produces over 200 varieties of fruits and vegetables, along with pasture-raised meats and eggs.

The Rest

Visitors can explore the farm through self-guided tours, enjoy the children's playground, and have picnics on the garden lawn. The farm also participates in several farmers' markets, including those in Thousand Oaks, Calabasas, Santa Monica, and Mar Vista. Additionally, their produce and honey lemonades are available at select local grocers in the LA and Ventura County areas.
