About the firm

The intersection of agronomy and strategy.

Unbound Ag was founded to break down traditional silos between agricultural disciplines — integrating agronomy, field research, and commercial strategy into practical solutions tailored to each client’s specific objectives.

Our principals have spent their careers in production agriculture — as advisors, researchers, and growers. We work exclusively in California specialty crops, which means our grower relationships and regional knowledge are our most valuable assets.
