Marin County's agricultural production reached $94.1 million in 2025, up 12 percent from $83.8 million the prior year, according to the annual Crop and Livestock Report released by the Agricultural Commissioner's Office and presented to the Board of Supervisors on August 25.
The report highlighted wool production as an emerging economic opportunity for expansion. Wool production totaled 24,700 pounds valued at $29,000 in 2025. County officials identified local processing and manufacturing as key to capturing more value in the supply chain, since most processing and fabrication currently occurs outside Marin and California.
"There's a lot of potential to tap into the growing interest in natural and local fibers as more people seek alternatives to synthetic materials in clothes, filters, green building materials, textiles, landscape cloth, and dozens of other products," Agricultural Commissioner Joe Deviney said.
Cattle and calves led livestock categories at $23 million, followed by poultry at $22.4 million and organic milk at $21.5 million. The county reported 10,300 sheep and lambs valued at $2.6 million. Aquaculture reached $8.5 million, up from $6.4 million in 2024.
Above-average rainfall in 2025 supported exceptional rangeland growth and improved conditions for livestock producers. Beef prices reached record highs statewide and nationally as herds recovered from drought years, according to the county report.
