Felton is a community in the upper San Lorenzo Valley within Santa Cruz County, in the Santa Cruz Mountains between Santa Cruz and the Santa Clara Valley.

Felton is a community in the upper San Lorenzo Valley within Santa Cruz County, in the Santa Cruz Mountains between Santa Cruz and the Santa Clara Valley. The San Lorenzo Valley corridor connects the coastal agricultural regions of Santa Cruz County with the broader Central Coast seed supply network served by Orsetti from Hollister.

The San Lorenzo Valley's inland mountain environment differs from the coastal fog belt — higher elevation, greater rainfall, and more variable temperatures. Small-scale specialty production and organic operations are common in this part of Santa Cruz County. Orsetti's CCOF-certified supply is well aligned with the organic-oriented farming culture of the broader Santa Cruz County region.
