Ben Lomond is a community in the San Lorenzo Valley within Santa Cruz County, in the redwood-forested Santa Cruz Mountains. The area is part of Orsetti's Santa Cruz County service territory, with commercial vegetable seed supply available through the same regional dealer networks that cover the broader county including the coastal and Pajaro Valley production zones.

The San Lorenzo Valley's mountain environment is characterized by higher annual rainfall, cooler summer temperatures, and significant tree cover compared to the coastal growing zones of Santa Cruz County. Agricultural operations in this part of the county tend toward specialty and small-scale production. The coastal belt and Pajaro Valley 20–30 miles west and south represent the commercial vegetable production core of the region.
