Scotts Valley is a city in the northern Santa Cruz Mountains within Santa Cruz County, positioned between Highway 17 and the San Lorenzo River drainage. Agricultural operations and buyers based in Scotts Valley access commercial vegetable seed supply through the same Santa Cruz County dealer networks that serve the coastal growing regions.

The Santa Cruz Mountains transition from the Scotts Valley area toward the productive coastal lowlands — a shift from forested foothills to the cool, fog-influenced vegetable production zones at lower elevations. Santa Cruz County's organic farming infrastructure, including CCOF-certified operations, is distributed across the county, and Orsetti's certification aligns with this supply chain.
