The Del Cabo Cooperative

Nestled in the pristine valleys between the Sea of Cortez and the rugged mountains of the Baja Peninsula, over 400 farming families of the Del Cabo Cooperative nurture their crops to bring you excellent organic produce.

Having already created Jacobs Farm, a successful organic farming operation, and with a knack for developing niche markets, longtime organic farmers Larry Jacobs and Sandra Belin were confident in their vision for their next venture. In 1985, they encountered a community of struggling, subsistence-level farmers in Mexico, and the Del Cabo Cooperative was born.

The idea of farm and community-centered food production supported by international markets proved to be successful. Today, this collaboration between Jacobs Farm and the Baja growers provides over 400 farming families with needed training in organic growing, harvesting, and handling, as well as start-up funds, farming technology, administrative training, and consistent distribution channels—ensuring the best return for small-scale farms.

Through the teaching and promoting of organic farming methods, more than 400 farming families of the Del Cabo grower-owned cooperative have benefited and the numbers are growing. Farmers always receive a fair price for their crops, communities continue to flourish, and future generations are encouraged to stay on the land. With experience and support behind them every step of the way, these organic growers deliver the very best produce for consumers and the land remains a valuable resource, not destroyed by chemicals for short-term gain.

Jacobs Farm / Del Cabo have a mission to grow great tasting, healthy food in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. They strive for a sustainable approach to agriculture, using sound business practices and organic farming methods. They are proud to have helped many individuals and communities prosper through an unwavering vision geared toward social change.
