Hog Farm

Ray and Dan Franscioni
PO Box 7537
Spreckels, CA
831-455-9375

Markets: Aptos, Monterey and Carmel

Products: Asparagus

History/Philosophy: Hog Farms got its name years ago when owner Ray Ranscioni first drove out to see the property where we would eventually plant asparagus. As he tells it, the first thing he saw when he pulled up (besides the beautiful land, of course) was a pen with two HUGE hogs in it. He knew what he would name the farm right then and there. The hogs are no longer at the farm, but their spirit definitely lives on!

The farm was established over 30 years ago. Ray and Dan are second generation farmers and third generation when it comes to sales and marketing of the produce grown at the farm. In addition to asparagus, Hog Farms grows artichokes, spinach and mixed baby greens.
