Coke Farms

It all started with a quarter-acre of strawberries founder Dale Coke planted on his property in Watsonville, California in 1980. Interested in organic farming for its environmental and social impacts, he was an instrumental member in California Certified Organic Farmers’ early days.

By 1981, Coke Farm became one of the first CCOF’s certified farms in the Central California chapter, fueling a movement that created a higher standard for organic farming for others to follow.

Dale Coke is a fifth generation Californian with a farming family background. He cultivated a wide network of like-minded peers and customers through the California region and nationally together with his sister Madelene, establishing the reputation of Coke Farm as a source for specialty crops and innovative products.
