Welcome to Mraz Family Farms, currently a 17-acre operation cultivating Organic California Avocados, California Grown Coffee, and World Peace. We are essentially a mom and pop shop growing exotic & specialty crops.
Owner-Operators Jason & Christina Mraz, with the help of an extended family, take pleasure in growing delicious, healthy fruit with the utmost respect for those devouring it - and the Earth providing it. We take care of our people, plants, and precious soil. Purchased in 2004, our Mranch was formerly an old-growth avocado grove, with tall canopied trees planted in the early 1970's. By aggressively pruning the trees in a process called stumping, the trees are given a few generations of growth in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the old trees are just beginning their final generation. So, in our most recent stumping (2015) we began converting the ranch to make space for new trees, new fruit varieties, and a new family operation. A very exciting addition to Mraz Family Farms is our joining the curious crew of California Coffee Growers, offering 11 specialty varietals of Arabica Coffee. By following this blog you'll be able to participate in the journey of growing, processing, roasting, and sipping our selections of single-origin, estate grown coffee. It's a patient game the farmer plays. So you too will have to be patient. Our beans won't be for sip or sale until at least 2020. If we're lucky! But our amazing Hass Avocados will soon to be in stock from January-June 2017. From the tree to your taco, guacamole, chocomole, or toast - we guarantee our avocados are delicious. Avos have a hang-time of 6 months. Which means we don't pick them until you order them. Then we ship them right away, allowing them to ripen naturally in your care. They are not gassed like they are in stores. It is a luxury to eat and taste food the natural way, and we are happy to get to share this with you. In hard-working farm-life there should be no wasted effort or material. Through the ranch-conversion process, much wood was mulched and turned into nutritious compost, but many beautiful trunks and branches were set aside for us to make shelves and supplies for our main operations barn. The reuse value of this byproduct was so inspiring we started making other fun items such as serving boards, spice dishes, spatulas, keepsake jars, and earrings. Who knew permaculture could be so stylish? Explore this site to learn more about the people, products, and plans of our family farm. It's a magical place with a big heart. And it's our home. All are welcome here. Peace & Love, The Mraz's

I didn't realize you had a website for your farm now. I've been trying to make my own coffee drinks at home, and I am so excited to hear that you will be offering it in the near future. I can't wait!

My girlfriend and I are coming to San Diego end of August and if possible, we would love to come to your farm. We love your music and what you'all stand for. We are both vegan and very interested in sustainability and looking to open a similar type farm in either Reno or South Florida.

Everytime I had a chance to discover more about Jason Mraz - his songs, feelings, and how he expresses his songs I am winning a piece of "human peace". I am not so deep in songs but ecletical one. First one I´ve heard was 93 Million Milles - it represents a lot to me. Since then, I am taking my free time to take a look at other ones and I am getting more and more fascinated... People like him and actions like that - organic food, interests on people feelings - coming back to the farm, to the origins, is exactly what we need to keep the world growing and become a nice place to live.. With all my best wishes from Brazil - peace for your heart - Cheers Simone

I just want to thank you for the peace you bring to my life with your music and lifestyle of hope. I have Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma stg4 and trying to stay level everyday mentally, and deal with it, I listen to you and it's all perfect. No bad thoughts, peace and serenity. While I'll walk the "Light the Night" for LLS this weekend, I'll listen to you and find peace. From Omaha to you..from the concert in Lincoln Ne., thank you.💚💜💙💛

Avocados are user-friendly food! They are fixing my liver and rebuilding my brain. Thank you for spreading health with your farm as well as happiness with your music. We are already fools, so we might as well dance--this and other songs have inspired me to start step aerobics again so I am also rebuilding my fitness with help of your music. May you be blessed with abundance in every possible way for your globally relevant positive energy music that comes from your heart and soul.
