Zava Ranch Devastated by Wildfire

Dear Friends of Zava Ranch,

Many customers reached out asking how they can help. Your support shows us that what we do matters to a lot of people and encourages us to rebuild. Recovery will take a lot of work and also a lot of resources. This is why we created this page. With your support, we can work on rebuilding stronger than ever.

If you are able to contribute any amount, the funds will go directly to cleaning-up and restoring the soil, replanting the trees, re-installing the irrigation, and get our farm back to its thriving, chemical-free state.

What happened:

Our organic, chemical-free family farm that we poured our heart and soul into was devastated by the Mountain Fire that started less than a mile from our property. The massive wildfire carried by powerful Santa Ana winds destroyed our orchard, our trees, our extensive irrigation system, our infrastructure. Miraculously our home is still standing, but our orchard and our property sustained severe damage. It is heartbreaking to realize that the reason our orchard sustained so much damage was because of our organic chemical-free practices, not tilling our soil or using any herbicides, and relying heavily on mulch to provide ground cover and build soil health.

We know that times are tough for many people right now, and we are grateful for any amount you can contribute. Your donation, no matter how small, will help us get back on our feet.

We are the family that owns Zava Ranch and the fundraiser is to help us rebuild the farm.

With gratitude,

Yelena, Brian, Sasha, Veronica, and Asher
