Our Green Mission Statement
Since 1946, “green” practices have been in place on the Ranch. Our parents, being children of the Great Depression, knew what it meant to “recycle.” Nothing was ever thrown away! Mom recycled plastic bags, and tin foil. Dad put things in storage- “We’ll use that some day!” When aluminum became a commodity, we gathered cans to recycle. Some of you may remember the sign: “Pitch in for Tillie’s roses.” The “can money” went to Mom and she would buy flowers to beautify the Ranch grounds. In the 1990’s we made a big commitment to "green" by initiating conservation easements on our land. To date, we have preserved over 1700 acres of foothill views and wildlife habitat.
