Ukiah is known for [[Winemaking|wine production]]. Some very large production wineries, including [[Brutocao Cellars|Brutocao]], Fife, Parducci, Frey, and Bonterra, have become established here since the late 20th century.

Ukiah was previously a major producer of [[pear]]s. Alex R. Thomas & Company owned hundreds of acres of [[Bartlett pear]] orchards on the east side of the Ukiah Valley. For nearly 90 years, many local residents and [[migrant workers]] have been employed packing the pears for domestic and foreign consumption. On December 1, 2008, the company announced it would be shutting down major operations at the end of the year due to bankruptcy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |last=Anderson |first=Glenda |date=July 26, 2011 |title=New life for old Ukiah pear-packing plant |work=Santa Rosa Press Democrat |url=https://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/2287887-181/new-life-for-old-ukiah |access-date=August 25, 2018}}</ref> Several acres of orchard have been torn down and replaced with vineyards since the packing shed closed its doors.
