Host Clark Wolf talks with Brian Sullivan & Gayle Okaumura Sullivan, owners of Dry Creek Peach, about farming peaches, interdependence, finding homes for the fruit, effects of the pandemic, the farm stand and Measure J.
Dry Creek Peach is located in the heart of the Dry Creek Valley of Healdsburg in Sonoma County, California. Surrounded by world-renown vineyards, we are the last remaining fruit farm (1,000 trees) in the valley and the only dedicated, certified organic peach farm in the county. The farm takes advantage of the mineral-rich soil fed by Dry Creek and Winter Creek and the ideal Mediterranean growing climate of Northern California wine country.
Owners since 2000, Brian Sullivan and Gayle Okumura Sullivan dedicated the farm to organic stone fruit; broadened the product line to include peach jam, cobbler mix, and other products; introduced Dry Creek Peaches to customers and partners including Chez Panisse, Kokkari, Canyon Market and Bryan’s; and re-opened the farm stand in the summer.
Dry Creek Peach has been featured in House & Garden, The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, Edible Marin & Wine Country, Savor Wine Country, Made Local, the Press Democrat, the Healdsburg Tribune, Healdsburg Living, and many other publications.
