Live Oak is an unincorporated community in Santa Cruz County adjacent to the city of Santa Cruz, situated along the Monterey Bay coast. As part of the broader Santa Cruz County agricultural market, the area is served by the same dealer networks covering commercial broccoli, lettuce, and cool-season vegetable operations throughout the county.
The coastal Santa Cruz climate at Live Oak — direct Monterey Bay exposure, persistent marine layer, minimal temperature variation — creates a stable environment for cool-season vegetable production. The Pajaro Valley agricultural region is approximately 15 miles south, forming the production core of Santa Cruz County. Organic farming is deeply embedded in Santa Cruz County's agricultural identity, and Orsetti's CCOF certification reflects this regional orientation.
