Our Story

We often are asked about our company and people, and yes there is a story about the Amador Barn Owl Box Company (aka Amador Owl).

In 2009 we got started as an Amador County-based business founded to provide local jobs and to sustainably solve agriculture problems. We encourage leveraging natural predators such as the common barn owl for rodent control–a very effective approach that fits with sustainable farming methods. This mission continues today.

We provide an environmentally friendly approach for controlling rodents in the vineyard that can significantly reduce crop loss with minimal use of chemicals. Essentially we are an sustainable agriculture products company with a mission.

Our first product, the Amador Barn Owl Nesting Box, was created to leverage the traditional Barn Owl for gopher, vole, and other rodent control – nature’s way.

Our Barn Owl Box sales have increased every year with use in California vineyards spreading to orchards, farms, and large vineyards state-wide. We ship across the country.

Today, by request of our customer base, we offer nesting houses for bats, bluebird houses, screech owls, raptor perch kits, installation materials, accessories, and many other natural rodent control products.
