The Bisordi Family

The Bisordi family began farming in the Russian River Valley in 1898, when Eugenio Bisordi settled in Fulton, California. An Italian immigrant who traveled to America in search of a better future, he established the ranch with two teams of horses and farmed tomatoes, prunes, hops, and winegrapes. Henry and Barbara Bisordi, the next generation to farm Bisordi Ranch, later farmed winegrapes, prunes, pears, apples, and walnuts, operating a commercial farming business for orchards and vineyard management. The family has continuously farmed in Sonoma County and currently farms 20 acres in Russian River Valley, focusing on sustainable farming practices for their walnuts, chestnuts, olives, eggs, zinfandel and chardonnay winegrapes. They are proud to have the sixth generation, Hailey Jane Gallegos, involved in the operation.
