cannabis is medicine. food is medicine. both should be grown to heal people & the planet
Our journey began with co-founders Terry and Manny, third-generation farmers and first-generation Americans. Inspired by California’s growing cannabis medicine movement, Terry and Manny made the life-changing decision in 2011 to move from Florida to Northern California. After graduating from Oaksterdam University, they immersed themselves in the expertise of cultivators and wellness leaders who were transforming the landscape of cannabis.
Driven by a shared vision to advance regenerative practices and pioneer the production of healing full spectrum oils (FSO), Terry and Manny founded Bird Valley Organics in 2013. As advocates for regenerative farming and stewards of the Earth, they are committed to creating a positive impact on both the health of individuals and the environment.
Today, Bird Valley Organics proudly operates as a Hügelkultur farm, nestled in the peaceful Santa Cruz Mountains. Specializing in whole-plant FSO, we curate a line of premium oils designed to enhance well-being and provide healing to individuals across California—guided by the principles of sustainability, biodiversity, and care for the planet.

it's our promise to you
it's our commitment to the planet
it's our daily reminder of why we do what we do
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
embrace community as family:
our community is made up of our customers, retail partners, 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.
Embracing Sustainability:
as part of our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, we've developed eco-friendly packaging to minimize our carbon footprint. Crafted from biodegradable materials, our FSO box is 100% compostable and embodies our values of sustainability. it also aligns with our mission to prioritize the well-being of our customers and the planet.
