Land Owners

  • Schmid Ranches

    Greg Schmid, with his wife Tammy, are the owners of the Schmid Ranch located southeast of the City of Davis along Putah Creek and have been conservation easement partners with YLT for over 20 years. Greg hails from southern San Joaquin County. His family was not involved with farming, but Greg found interest in the field early on, especially livestock, by participating in the local 4-H. In the late 1970’s a friend provided him the opportunity to move to Yolo County and manage farmland under the umbrella of the well-known Anderson Farms.

  • Gill Orchards

    A124-acre generational family farming operation planted with nut orchards, situated a half-mile outside of the northeast city limits of Davis. This conservation easement was made possible through collaboration between the landowners, Yolo Land Trust, the City of Davis and the California Department of Conservation’s Sustainable Agriculture Land Conservation (SALC) program.
