Sustainable Agave Agriculture in California

Agave spirits are a true expression of their origins, shaped by the soil that supports them, the water that nourishes them, and the climate that guides their growth.

Over years of slow transformation, these remarkable plants store their rich sugars deep within, waiting to be turned into something extraordinary.

At ixcali farms, we’re on a mission to uncover the untapped potential of agave in California. It’s a multi-year journey, but for us, it’s about more than just the spirits—it’s about creating a sustainable agricultural future for our region.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the belief that today’s choices should leave a better world for tomorrow. Agaves are the perfect partners in this mission. Unlike water-intensive crops, agaves thrive on just a fraction of the resources, making them uniquely suited to the challenges of California’s changing climate. Here in Sonoma County, with its Mediterranean-style weather patterns, our agaves are flourishing, even as the region adapts to new environmental realities.

At ixali farms, we’re cultivating multiple varieties of agaves to champion sustainable farming practices across California. These resilient crops don’t just survive in arid conditions, they are also climate eco-warriors. Year-round, these plants are pulling carbon from the atmosphere and storing it in the soil while building healthier ecosystems in our fields.

Something new is growing in California

We’re proud to be at the forefront of this agricultural revolution, trailblazing the way for agave farming in Sonoma County. With every plant we grow, we’re working toward a vision of farming that’s in harmony with nature, one that supports both our environment and the generations to come.
