Séka Hills
Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, a federally recognized sovereign nation, has embraced the ancient Mediterranean tradition of growing olives and is using the most modern methods to produce remarkable California certified extra virgin olive oil. The Yocha Dehe named the oil Séka Hills after the blue hills where they farm in the Capay Valley. In addition to its successful Cache Creek casino operations, the Tribe sustainably manages more than 25,000 acres with more than a dozen crops, partners with organic growers, and grazes a growing herd of 800 cattle on tribal rangeland. The Séka Hills operation uses Super High Density plantings in the Arbequina groves, mechanical harvesting, and mills onsite at its custom-built Alfa Laval mill.
