Overview
Diversified family farm raising rabbits, heritage poultry, pork, lamb, and wine grapes in Marin County.
Devil's Gulch Ranch is a diversified family farm in Nicasio, Marin County, founded in 1971 when Mark Pasternak purchased the 65-acre heart of the historic 873-acre property. The ranch is run by Mark and Myriam Kaplan-Pasternak, whose combined agricultural experience spans more than 80 years, including Myriam's large animal veterinary degree from UC Davis. The ranch produces rabbits, pork, lamb, quail, French Heritage Bresse chicken, Silkie chicken, poussin, and squab, along with premium wine grapes. Products are sold directly to retail customers and to a wide range of well-known restaurants, and are also available at the SF Ferry Plaza Farmers Market on Saturdays and the Marin County Civic Center Farmers Market on Sundays. Learn more on their About Page.
Devil's Gulch Ranch states that it uses sustainable, humane agricultural practices, organic whenever possible. Pigs are pastured with their mothers until weaning, then finished on whole milk, whole grain breads, brewer's grain, and tortillas, repurposing food-industry byproducts as feed. Rabbits are raised free of hormones or antibiotics and fed a pelleted feed produced to the ranch's specifications at a local feed mill, free from corn, hormones, and antibiotics. Lambs are 100% grass-fed and graze the vineyards during the dormant season, reducing the need for mowing or herbicides. The ranch produces its own compost for the vineyards from rabbits, pigs, and sheep. A 36 KW wind turbine and a 24 KW solar panel system on the barn roof both feed into the grid via net-metering.
