Meet The Family
Family-owned and operated, Bautista Creek Ranches is a true team effort—each of us bringing something different to the table, but all working toward the same goal: growing great food and sharing it with our community.

Emily Kelley
Emily wears a lot of hats around the ranch—handling everything from choosing what varieties get planted to managing operations in the packing house. She’s the one ordering seeds, planning ahead, and making sure the backend of the business runs smoothly. As Ken and Suzy’s daughter, she grew up on the farm and brings a fresh perspective while staying rooted in the family’s values.

Ken Kelley
Ken is the farmer behind it all. He’s been working this land for decades and gets his hands dirty every day—whether it's planting, harvesting, or fixing something out in the field. His deep knowledge of the land and seasonal cycles is the heartbeat of Bautista Creek Ranches. If it grows here, you can bet Ken had something to do with it. He blends tradition with innovation, always thinking ahead and planting with purpose.

Susan Kelley
Suzy keeps everything (and everyone) connected. From coordinating with vendors to helping organize events and community groups, she’s always in motion. She’s the go-to person for logistics, people, and making sure the ranch runs with that warm, welcoming feel the family is known for.
