Alexandre Family Farm

Where the redwoods meet the sea in northern California’s Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, we, Blake and Stephanie Alexandre, and our five children have poured our combined generations of dairy know-how into our farms. We are strong proponents of organic farming practices, nutrient-dense products, and environmental stewardship. In January 2021 we became the first CERTIFIED REGENERATIVE dairy in the United States. In 1988, we started dairying in Southern California where Stephanie grew up, but Blake knew he wanted to get back to his beloved green pastures in Northern California. When the opportunity arose in 1992 to buy an existing operation in Del Norte County, just two hours north of the Alexandre home farm in Humboldt County, we seized it. We converted our dairy to 100% organic methods in the late 90’s, taking our love of farming to the next level. We are the 4th generation to farm on our Ferndale grazing dairy in Humboldt County. Knowing that organic production was the way of our grandfathers, this was a new/old way to farm. Today, we operate four grass-based organic dairies in Humboldt and Del Norte counties in Northern California, with 4,200 crossbred A2/A2 dairy cows on 4,300 acres of irrigated pasture. We grow the majority of our own hay on approximately 2,500 acres of organic cropland in Modoc County in the Northeastern part of California. While raising our five kids in a house just across the street from the dairy - each learning to drive tractors at age 6 - they quickly learned the way of the land. Today, our grown children are involved in the day-to-day functions on the farm, each with unique, bright passions for agriculture. We treasure this opportunity to run the farm alongside our growing family.
