Pleasant Valley Farms

Patrick and Teresa Royan began their family farming journey in 2017, settling in the Aptos area with their daughter Amber and grandsons Austin and Jonny. Managing 26 acres in Pleasant Valley, Teresa handles the olive orchard, while Pat created a vineyard with five grape varieties. Amber runs the equine boarding facility, and Kevin, Pat's brother, oversees farm operations. Their youngest daughter, Taylor, is an environmental toxicologist and artist. The family thrives in harmony with nature.
