About ALD&Y Organic Farm
ALD&Y farm is named after owner Gullermo’s son, Aldair, and his daughter, Yarehzy. With some farming experience from growing up in Oaxaca, Mexico, Gullermo took classes at The Alba School in Salinas, California and was inspired by the potential of organic farm management. He began his own farm in 2017 and from there he has built up his operation to employ 2 full time and 2 part time employees. Immediately Gullermo was confronted and saddened by the greed and selfishness of the large corporations that dominated his area. Working in Monterey County, often coined the Salad Bowl County because of high levels of soil fertility, he found that most of the fertile soil was occupied by big corporations who, despite having the means and resources to do so, neglect to care for their soil. In observing and working so closely with big agricultural corporations, Gullermo was compelled to do something different. Motivated by sustaining his land, feeding his community, and building relationships, Gullermo believes that no matter how small your operation may be, you are a key piece in the puzzle to make a difference. His farm sells an abundance of their produce to the local school district, offering students fresh, healthy foods, and demonstrating the sustainable practices he implements on his land. Ald & Y Organic Farms is also one of the members of the 7+ Organic Farms Co-Op and a collaborator and co-leader of Esperanza Community Farms. Guillermo holds a deep satisfaction for the work that he does, finding pockets of hope in the communities at and adjacent to the markets, reminding him that he is not alone. View Larger Map
