Rico's Organics

About Us
Owner Rico Delgado is a second generation Santa Barbara small business owner who lives and works as an organic gardener in Santa Barbara County.
Growing up, he was exposed to gardening
and maintenance as a "weekend helper" to his father Ben, who operated a local maintenance business.

Today we know that the health of plants and the food we grow depends on chemical-free methods.

As a Certified Green Gardener, Rico uses creative organic methods to plant and maintain orchards, flower and vegetable gardens, and properties.

In alignment with the philosophy of biodiversity, Rico began making his own compost several years ago using only natural organic local ingredients.

Worms are essential in good soil composition. Rico's teams of
hard-working worms are his greatest business allies. They aerate and enrich the compost soil with micro-organisms from their castings. Rico works in harmony with Mother Nature to create some of the finest compost/soil/fertilizer available.
