Our History
North CoastHistory
North Coast Organic is located in a historic apple cannery nestled in Sebastopol, California. Since 1922, we have produced organic APPLESAUCE, apple juice, and apple cider vinegar in this special corner of the world. Sonoma County is famous for growing wine grapes, but many other crops are grown here as well. The morning coastal fog and warm afternoon sun, combined with the skill of responsible organic farmers, is the perfect recipe for producing fruit of exceptional quality and flavors.
EarlyBeginnings
North Coast Organic began as a small dryer operation known as Oehlmann Evaporator. Local fruits, including apples, prunes, pears, and hops were delivered to our location and dried. The dryer operation was owned and operated by husband and wife team, Rudolph and Maude Oehlmann.
ManzanaProducts
In 1945, Oehlmann Evaporator became incorporated and changed its name to Manzana Products. Manzana is the Spanish word for apple and was selected to honor the many Latin Americans that were employed by the company.
