Located in the heart of Santa Ynez, Finley Farms is a family-run, certified organic farm dedicated to growing fresh, vibrant produce with sustainable practices.
From hand-picked heirloom vegetables to sun-ripened fruits, Finley Farms brings the true taste of the Valley straight from their fields to your table.
googleIn the golden folds of the Santa Ynez Valley, where morning mist rises gently over sun-drenched hills, Finley Farms is up before the first light touches the vineyards.
Here, farming isn’t just a profession — it’s a way of life, rooted in the soil, stitched into the seasons, and shared with every kitchen they serve.
Founded in 2002 by a first-generation farming family, Finley Farms has grown from a small organic plot into one of the valley’s most trusted sources of farm-fresh produce.
Their fields stretch across 70 acres of certified organic land, producing a colorful array of heirloom tomatoes, vibrant greens, sweet strawberries, peppers, onions, melons, root vegetables, and more — all nurtured with regenerative practices and harvested at peak perfection.
But what makes Finley Farms truly special isn’t just what they grow.
It’s where that food goes — and how it nourishes the spirit of the Santa Ynez Valley.
Every week, before most of the valley wakes up, the Finley team is out in the fields, hand-picking produce destined for some of the region’s best restaurants and markets.
Their heirloom tomatoes might land on a summer salad at a cozy Los Olivos bistro. Their greens and squash blossoms might become the star of a special at a Ballard inn.
Their sweet carrots, still kissed with morning dew, might be roasted to perfection at a Santa Ynez tasting room kitchen.
Restaurants from Solvang to Buellton proudly feature Finley Farms on their menus, not because it’s trendy to “buy local,” but because the difference is undeniable.
The flavor.
The freshness.
The connection to the land.
When chefs know exactly who grew their produce — and can call the farmer by name — it transforms what’s on the plate.
It becomes a celebration of the valley itself.
Beyond the restaurant kitchens and bustling farmers markets, Finley Farms invites everyone — locals, visitors, and day-trippers — to experience their bounty firsthand.
Their self-serve farm stand, tucked along North Refugio Road, is open daily from 10:00 AM to sunset, offering the same just-picked produce they deliver to top kitchens.
Grab a basket and fill it with the valley’s best — crisp greens, vine-ripened tomatoes, juicy berries, earthy beets — knowing it was all grown just steps away.
At Finley Farms, farming isn’t about chasing trends or maximizing output at any cost.
It’s about caring for the land that has given so much — and ensuring it can keep feeding the valley for generations to come.
Through organic certification, responsible stewardship, and deep respect for the rhythms of nature, Finley Farms remains a living example of what local agriculture can be.
Every time you bite into a sun-warmed tomato at your favorite Santa Ynez restaurant, or savor a salad that bursts with unexpected sweetness, you’re tasting more than just good food.
You’re tasting the work, heart, and heritage of a farm family dedicated to growing something real.
Finley Farms isn’t just part of the Santa Ynez Valley.
They help grow the Valley — one beautiful harvest at a time.
