Incorporating natural systems into the farming practices ensures a productive and profitable future.  The Tribe makes a concerted effort to use less pesticides and water to lessen the environmental impact on the land their ancestors farmed centuries ago.

Natural systems include planned use of insects and ground covers, mulching and irrigation systems and careful crop rotation cycles.  The crop rotation includes almonds, walnuts, olives, grapes, wheat, safflower, oat hay, all grain forage, alfalfa and sunflowers. The Tribe takes pride in being stewards of the land for the 3200 acres currently being farmed from west of the town of Capay to Guinda, dedicated only for agriculture use. 

Also, in an effort to conserve water, there is a retention pond at the bottom of the fields to catch irrigation water that is returned to the top of the field for reuse.  The Tribe uses their own crops as much as they can, such as hay to feed their horses, and making their own wine with locally grown grapes; They plan to release their own olive oil brand with their 85 acres of olives.  The rest of the produce they sell to local retailers and distributers.

The ranch is a sign of the growing diversity of the Tribe’s interests.  Horses and 60 head of cattle located on 700 acres of rangeland in the Capay Valley are available so that members can learn animal husbandry and experience the pleasures and challenges of livestock management.

The Tribe takes pride in its devotion to environmental stewardship.  Strengthened by history and legacy, the Tribe is preparing for the next generations.
