About Us

family run and connected to nature.

Zephyr Mountain Grove is a Certified Organic avocado and citrus grove located on the steep hills of Wildomar, California. It is run by Shane and Nicole Sands, two former backyard gardeners that decided to take a deep dive into organic and sustainable farming.

Walking through the hills of the grove, often with beautiful views of the clouds below, it’s hard not to feel both in awe of nature and at the mercy of it. Naming our grove after the Greek god of the west wind, Zephyr, reminds us to embrace harmony with the natural world and to accept the things that are out of our control.

For us, making sure that the farm supports the native plants, bees and wildlife around and within the grove means employing regenerative farming methods, supporting wild bee populations and by making constant, long-term improvements to the soil.

By sharing the fruits of our labor with our family and with the community, we hope to inspire a deeper connection to nature, a love of fresh, organic produce and an appreciation of the hard work that it takes to bring it to market.
