ELLWOOD CANYON FARMS
Our Business
Ellwood Canyon Farms provides custom farming and agricultural consulting services throughout Santa Barbara County.
Our Services
We help farmers and agricultural landowners plan, manage, and carry out day-to-day farming operations. Drawing on a lifetime of hands-on agricultural experience, we provide practical support across crop planning, budgeting, field preparation, irrigation, harvest strategy, equipment operations, and farm labor.
As a licensed California Farm Labor Contractor, we can also provide and coordinate agricultural labor when additional field support is needed. We work closely with trusted vendors and service providers to help projects run efficiently and meet the needs of each operation.
Our approach is straightforward: practical planning, responsible farming practices, and sound operational decisions that support productive agricultural operations.
Who We Are
Jack Motter and Jeff Kramer grew up as neighbors and best friends in Brawley, California, both from fourth-generation farming families. After moving to Santa Barbara for college, they made the Central Coast home and, in 2009, established Ellwood Canyon Farms around their shared agricultural background.
For more than a decade, they grew, marketed, and sold organic crops under the Ellwood Canyon Farms label. That experience gave them a practical understanding of crop production, equipment, labor, harvest coordination, and the day-to-day realities of running a farm.
Over time, Ellwood Canyon Farms transitioned from growing and marketing its own crops to providing custom farming and agricultural consulting services. Today, Jack and Jeff draw on their experience as growers to help other farmers and agricultural landowners plan, manage, and carry out their operations throughout Santa Barbara County.
