Our story began nearly eighty years ago, on this land nestled in the rolling hills of the Santa Ynez Valley. The heritage of the west, this land embraces the very promise of all that is California, a rich story, the legacy of generations. We are keepers of this land, stewards of this legendary place. We have always, with grace and gratitude, accepted the many gifts this land has offered. In this sentiment, we are proud to share the launch of Alisal Ranch Trading Co., a product line inspired by the land and paying homage to its rich heritage and history.

The introductory launch includes a custom California-made wellness product line produced in partnership with local Ojai-based GARA Skincare. The new products feature scents extracted from aromatic plants native to Alisal Ranch’s 10,500-acre property, such as sage, rose, and fresh grass, with lead scents for each products consisting of a cedar wood shampoo, neroli conditioner, clary sage body wash, and rose lotion.  These scents are inspired from the land; from the plants, and from the collected wisdoms of all who have lived here, cultivating, and stewarding the ranch. Essence of oak moss and tobacco can also be found in the signature scent, adding a playful nod to Alisal Ranch’s rich cowboy culture and history of ranchers who have also played a key role in land conservation and preservation. The natural origin, non-GMO and ethically sourced ingredients in the products provide benefits to the skin, scalp, and body, with a uniquely customized formula that is both a somatic and emotional experience, leaving our guests feeling more connected to this special place, in the Santa Ynez Valley, and the joy of nature’s infinite healing powers.

Coming Soon! The new wellness product line will be available in all guest cottages and for purchase at The Mercantile.
