cannabis is medicine. food is medicine. both should be grown to heal people & the planet​

Our story begins with 0ur co-founders, Terry Sardinas & Manny Alvarez. As third-generation farmers & first-generation Americans, Manny & Terry were inspired by California's growing cannabis medicine movement. In 2011, they packed their bags & moved from Miami, Florida to Oakland, California to learn from expert cultivators and wellness leaders. 

​

Six years later, after the end of prohibition in California, Manny & Terry founded Bird Valley Organics to advance regenerative practices in cannabis cultivation, create a community of like-minded farmers, & produce healing cannabis medicine. 

​

Today, Bird Valley Organics is a hügelkultur cannabis farm nestled in Watsonville's Pajaro Valley. We produce a line of whole plant full spectrum oils. We partner with like-minded farms to bring regenerative cannabis medicine to help people throughout California feel better.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

embrace community as family:

our community is made up of our customers, partners, employees, collaborators, & our neighbors. when our community thrives, we thrive. when our community is in need, we give. our brand is rooted in the best interests of our family.

look locally first:

we feed our roots while reaching towards the sun. we examine every growth opportunity for chances to deploy our success, hiring local vendors, partnering with local businesses, and highlighting our
Santa Cruz community.

grow regeneratively:

at Bird Valley, regenerative is more than a description of our permaculture, it describes how we grow as a company & engage in the community. everything we do feeds our ecosystem, leaving abundance instead of scarcity.

prioritize quality & transparency:

Bird Valley customers buy our whole plant full spectrum oils to feel better, safely. we protect the safety of our customers like we would our family by maintaining high standards & transparency in cultivation & manufacturing.
