Growing Specialty Organic Produce in Thermal, CA

County Line Harvest was started in 2000 by David Retsky on just six acres in Northern California on the Marin-Sonoma County line.

In 2010, we started our farm location in Southern California in order to meet the demand of our customers as well as provide year-round employment for a dozen of our full-time employees and nine months of seasonal work for an additional 35.  The Thermal farm is on 120 acres of leased land cultivated in a wide assortment of hand harvested specialty produce including baby lettuces, salad & cooking greens and baby root vegetables that are available October through June. In 2019 the farm moved across the street to the 200 acre parcel we are farming on currently.

County Line Harvest's Thermal location was certified organic from 2010 through June 2019 until the original lease ended and everything was picked up and moved to new land.  Our new parcel is now certified organic as of January 2021. 

We are deeply passionate about being good stewards of the land while providing the freshest, most flavorful produce possible and are excited to have the opportunity to create more organic farmland in California.

The next generation has just joined the farm! David’s Son Nico started this year!
