Profiles in Preservation

Bill & Eileen Jensen Ranch, Tomales

The Jensen Ranch is one of the oldest continuously operating ranches in Marin County. Bill Jensen is the 5th generation of his family to live and work there. Today he raises sheep and replacement dairy cattle on the 179-acre spread.

"My great, great grandfather immigrated here from Belfast, Ireland in 1856 and settled on the ranch that I live on. My father named me William Irvin Jensen: William, which is my great, great grandfather's first name, Irvin which was my great grandfather's surname, and then Jensen, my grandfather's last name. So that's how far the family goes back."
