Sutter Hock Farm, Historical agricultural settlement in Sutter County, California.
Sutter Hock Farm was an agricultural settlement located along the Feather River valley, featuring vineyards, grain fields, orchards, and pasture lands for livestock. The property operated as a diversified farming operation during the 19th century in what is now Yuba City.
John Augustus Sutter founded this settlement in 1841 as part of early European-American agricultural expansion in northern California. The farm became a significant productive operation during the territorial period before California statehood.
