The historic Stepladder Ranch was established at the turn of the 19th century and has been family owned since 1983. Stepladder Ranch is known locally and industry wide as one of the premier California Hass avocado growers.
Situated in a protected valley six miles inland from the Cambria coastline, Stepladder Ranch has an ideal Central Coast microclimate with consistently mild growing conditions that allow our avocados to have one of the longest maturing cycles in the county, producing avocados that are larger, meatier, more luscious in flavor and richer in oil.
In addition to our avocado orchards, we grow sub-tropical fruits that include passion fruits, kiwis, mangos, papayas, bananas and guavas in addition to unique citrus fruits like finger limes.
Stepladder Ranch is also home to Stepladder Creamery, which launched in 2015 and focuses on making artisanal farmstead goat cheeses from the herd of 30+ La Mancha goats that live at the ranch. For more information, visit www.facebook.com/StepladderCreamery or www.stepladdercreamery.com.
