Produce From Organic Farms

Located in Porterville.  Homegrown Organics Farms is part of a family of companies operating in many areas of the agricultural industry.  Together, we represent over 80 different growers with a total of more than 4,000 acres in organic farming. 

HGO has been exclusively growing and marketing certified organic produce since 1998.  Founded on the pledge of stewardship to properly care for the land, we believe in returning what the soil abundantly provides. 

Our highbush blueberries produce off-season fruit from September through July. Large, crisp, flavorful berries that are sold throughout California. Our fall and winter production is very weather driven and our volumes vary. We sell to key wholesaler, Earl’s Organics, who distributes our fruit in the San Francisco area and Freshpoint who distributes in the Los Angeles area. Otherwise, we can be found at numerous farmer’s markets.

Cunningham Organic Farm is located in a secluded valley next to the Cleveland National Forest and midway between Los Angeles and San Diego. George and Gale Cunningham moved with their family to the beautiful DeLuz Canyon, north of Fallbrook, in 1974. They set out to become farmers. Not being farm-savvy enough to grow with conventional methods of farming (using chemicals and pesticides), they decided to grow organically (before the time when that eco-friendly word was heavily used). It was their personal endeavor at that time, and remains so today, to grow the best-tasting, most nutritious food available anywhere and it’s all natural.

Author, scientist, and “Grape grower too”, Drake is one of the early organic pioneers, cultivating over 100-acres of green, red and black seedless grapes in Thermal, California. Drake fondly remembers the passionate enthusiasm of the “Organic Originals”.

Drake married his wife and kindred spirit, Pam, fresh out of college to pursue their dream of bringing fresh produce with great flavor to neighbors and friends. Their daughters, Kerry and Annika, grew up on the farm. Kerry has gone on to a career as an interior designer, and Annika works for an Organic food distribution company.

Drake was born into farming, being the grandson of a cattleman from Colorado and the son of a cotton and grape grower. Drake and his family have continued the tradition and embrace the strong relationships to the community and the land that goes back over generations.

The Larson family invites you to enjoy their sweet and deliciously grown grapes!

Sundance is the leading marketer of fresh organic citrus and avocados throughout the united states and around the world. As the "First Name" in California organic citrus, the company is one of the leading distributors.

Our farm’s name comes up often: Tomatero (we admit it is different) –  it means:  ’tomato picker’ in Spanish.  The name comes from  Adriana’s  Nicaraguan Grandmother. After 2 years of having a “no name” farm, and just “waiting to be inspired,” she gave Chris the nickname one day (almost as a sigh of uncertainty of  our life path) as we were sampling how certain tomatoes tasted with the several different growing methods we were trying at the time.  Whatever my grandmother meant that day is still a little unlclear.  For us however the name just seemed to match our farm’s spirit and what we were attempting to accomplish: to learn how to grow great flavored tomatoes. I believe we succeeded and bring that same spirit into everything we grow and do with our farm.

We started with 55 organic acres in California's Pajaro Valley and have expanded to over 1200 certified organic acres in the Watsonville area, 500 acres in the Holtville area, and 100 acres in Oxnard.

We hope to see everyone eating more organic vegetables in the future and living longer healthier lives. Our goal is to be the quality leader in the organic produce industry and customer satisfaction is our top priority.

In 1988, fifth generation farmer Chris Cadwell took over his family's remaining undeveloped fourteen acres of hillside property overlooking the Pacific Ocean's Channel Islands in Carpinteria, California.

Since 1850, no Cadwell had a desire to work the steep piece of property until Chris, his wife Cornelia, and their five children began cultivating it for Organic Garlic. They decided on the farm's name, "Tutti Frutti", Italian for "All Fruits" and have continued growing organic produce for the coastal communities of Southern California since.

The new location is 35 minutes north to the Rural Development Center and will benefit farmers that have land north of Salinas or Prunedale or northeast of Watsonville. ALBA Organics will receive organic produce in both locations, but shipping for customers is only from the Watsonville facility.

At Peri & Sons Farms we believe the best customers are educated customers—especially when it comes to organics. Essentially organic farming is about getting back to basics and keeping things pure and simple. Unfortunately understanding the complex regulations, policies and procedures of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Organic Program (NOP) is anything but simple

Joe S. Silva was born in Livingston CA in 1916. He was raised on his family's farm where he started a small dairy in his teen years in an effort to lend his financial help to his parents. The dairy business became successful after only a couple of years. Wanting to diversify his farming business Joe began experimenting with growing sweet potatoes on the family ranch. After discovering that sweet potatoes grew well in Livingston soil, he began to grow yams and sweet potatoes for local distribution. These were among the first yams and sweet potatoes grown in California.

Today, Doreva offers a full line of yams and sweet potatoes. Doreva grows garnet, red, beauegard and oriental yams as well as the hannah and golden sweets. Doreva Produce is certified free of chemicals and other harmful residues, and the organic yams and sweet potatoes are all natural. Doreva's seed program is worked very closely with UC Davis plant breeders and USDA to ensure our yams and sweet potatoes are free from any deformities, abnormalities and have good shape and color. This year we started our "greenhouse program" which we hope will bring new varities into the market and better, stronger, longer lasting potatoes.

Our success has come from hard work in the field and pride of tradition in bringing quality produce to our satisfied customers.

Our great-grandfather started Deardorff- Jackson Company in Los Angeles, California  with a simple philosophy to provide customers with the freshest, best-tasting fruits and vegetables available. Along with our grand-father,  the two men remained true to this philosophy and built one of the most well respected family businesses on the West Coast.  The company’s produce in the 1930’s and 40’s came from Venice, Hollywood and Los Angeles, California.  In the 1950’s and 60’s, urbanization forced the company to move operations into Orange County (to the south of Los Angeles) and Ventura County (to the north of Los Angeles).  Bill and Tom Deardorff joined the company during these times and represented the third generation of Deardorff’s to join the family business.  Bill and Tom followed the same core philosophy of their ancestors while adding the commitment to always try to be on the leading edge of innovation in the produce industry.  This challenge resulted in the company making many key introductions in farming, packaging and cooling of fresh produce. 

Today, the family business is operated in Ventura County by the fourth generation of Deardorffs. We continue to follow the philosophies and chanlleges set forth by our ancestors.  We are doing this by, among many other things, engaging in what we call sustainable farming practices.

A RICH TRADITION IN GARLIC

In the early 1890's, Ole Christopher left Denmark for the long journey to America. He had heard stories about the dark, fertile soil of America's "salad bowl," and knew he'd found the ideal spot for his family to settle when he first set eyes on beautiful Santa Clara Valley.

For over 50 years the Christopher family has been growing superior California garlic from its privately owned farms in Gilroy. We take great pride in providing the highest quality, most flavorful, and healthy garlic available today. We invite you to enjoy Christopher Ranch brand garlic wherever California garlic products are sold.

Organic Girl is a small group of women and men in California's fertile Salinas Valley who want to offer the best organic produce ever offered.

We created the name organicgirl® because we wanted something that had a sense of youth and promise and freshness about it. And we wanted to make real sure you know we're an organic only company. And once we chose the name, something dawned on us: Who is organicgirl? Both men and women alike who enjoy healthy, fresh, sustainable produce grown in harmony with Mother Nature. We're all organicgirls. In fact, we have it on good authority that Mother Nature is an organicgirl, too.

Our desire is to always be seen as offering the very best quality produce done the right way. This means unique approaches to organic growing, it means rejecting produce that just isn't good enough, it means triple washing our salads, it means using earth-friendly 100% recycled plastic packaging, it means a real focus on getting our produce to your store as fast as possible, and it means offering products that are a bit different in some way that matters to you. Every day, we listen to the people who enjoy our produce, and offer products that meet your needs.

At Jacobs Farm / Del Cabo, our mission is to grow great tasting, healthy food in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. 

We strive for a sustainable approach to agriculture, using sound business practices and organic farming methods. We are proud to have helped many individuals and communities prosper through an unwavering vision geared toward social change. 

Having already created Jacobs Farm, a successful organic farming operation, and with a knack for developing niche markets, longtime organic farmers Larry Jacobs and Sandra Belin were confident in their vision for their next venture. In 1985, they encountered a community of struggling, subsistence-level farmers in Mexico, and the Del Cabo cooperative was conceived. 

More than 25 years ago, we started a journey in a 2½-acre garden that has extended from our community to yours: local and national and international, rural and urban, kitchen tables and dining halls, supermarkets and corner stores.  Learn more about our story >>

Since the beginning, we’ve been committed to producing the purest food possible, food that nourishes and delights.

We’re passionate about people and the planet, and we believe both deserve our respect and care.  Learn more about a healthy planet>>

Covilli Brand Organics' roots are over twenty years old and are firmly intertwined with Circle Produce Co., Inc. Circle Produce is a small family owned operation that began as a grower/shipper of quality, conventional mixed vegetables. With organically certifiable land available to Circle Produce in Baja California and Sonora Mexico, our family ventured into the challenging sector of organic farming. We believed in the concept of incorporating an organic product line that mirrored our conventional program. In 1996 our family began growing organically for another shipper and shortly thereafter, Covilli Brand Organics Inc., was established as the marketing arm for the organic line of mixed vegetables and melons.

Monterey Mushrooms is proud to provide fresh, locally grown mushrooms to your favorite grocery stores, restaurants, food manufacturers, and institutions nationwide.  Founded in 1971, it became a family owned business when the company was purchased by Shah Kazemi who was an employee himself.  Today the 4,000 employees are proud to grow more than 200 million pounds of fresh mushrooms every year. 

Wong Potatoes Inc. is a family owned business, which has been growing, packing, and shipping potatoes in the United States since 1930. We ship potatoes throughout the United States and the Pacific Rim counties. Owners are Dee Dee and Daniel Chin, third generation potato farmers in the Klamath Basin. The Klamath Basin is ideal for growing quality products, because of it's high elevation (4,100 ft) and short growing season (115 days). We grow and certify through Primus Labs and Oregon Department of Agriculture programs. We raise red, yellow, russet, and specialty potatoes along with a full line of organically grown potatoes, with the majority going to retail and foodservice fresh markets.

Sunkist is a not-for-profit marketing cooperative entirely owned by and operated for the California and Arizona citrus growers who make up its membership.

Cooperatives give producers clout. In today's competitive international market, an independent grower stands alone against the competition. As a member of a cooperative, each individual grower joins with other growers to gain a mutually larger market share. A cooperative of growers together can do many things that a grower alone cannot afford to do — develop a worldwide market, promote a brand name, access a global transportation system, develop comprehensive research capabilities, and gain governmental access to overseas markets — to name a few.

Our Association, Bananeros Organicos Solidarios – BOS, was constituted in the year 2003 with the objective of promoting the development of small farmers of organic bananas located in the district of Salitral, Province of Sullana, in the Region of Piura, Peru.

Currently, there are 396 producers that integrate the association, which are distributed in 326 hectares, who have been strictly fulfilling the norms of organic quality and just commerce, creating a balance between the economical, social and environment aspects.

We started in 1986 as a family farming business.  Although we've grown significantly, we still run our business as if each team member is a part of that family.

We believe that by farming organically, we become better growers overall. We are currently farming organic roma tomatoes and organic strawberries.  Our plan is to expand our organic offerings across all of the commodities we grow.  

Our organic roma tomatoes are available year round.  We have organic farms in all of our growing regions to ensure a consistent supply 365 days a year.  Our organic roma tomatoes are available in 20 pound bulk boxes and are stickered with the organic PLU and country of origin.  We also sell organic roma tomatoes in a one pound clamshell.

Our organic strawberries are grown in Baja, Mexico and along the California coast.  We have year round production, but peak volumes will be during the spring and summer months. 

Frontier began as a two-person operation in 1976 in a cabin along the Cedar River in Eastern Iowa.

Howard and Jean Albano and their son Byron who are in charge of all growing, picking, packing and marketing of their 265 organic certified acres.  The Albano family has been growing apples for the past 25 years in the remote mountainous area of Cuyama, surrounded by the Los Padres National forest in Santa Barbara County.  As Earl traveled from Ojai to Cuyama along country highways 33 to 166 there was open farmland as far as the eye could see and not much else.

Cuyama is located at an elevation of 3200 feet which brings warm days and cool nights for the dormant/chill hours apples need.  In addition the abundant native water supply and rich mineral soil produce quality harvest organic apples.

Steve Taft, President and CEO of Eco Farms, began growing, packing and selling produce from his family’s farm in the Pauma Valley area in the early 1970’s. His parents were strong advocates of natural farming, using biological fertilizers and avoiding the use of pesticides whenever possible and so were among the very earliest of “organic” avocado and citrus farmers. During the week, Steve would irrigate, hand weed and harvest his crops, then pack them into containers and drive this fruit to Los Angeles to be sold to various wholesale produce marketers.

Since 1981, we have been directly involved with the promotion and development of organically grown citrus, avocados and sub-tropical fruits grown in Southern California.  It is with the belief that it is our responsibility to be respectful stewards of our created earth that we work and manage a company of dedicated people that lend support to the overall development of organic, sustainable agriculture and viable, responsible methods of recycling and usage of our cherished resources.

Quality Packing and Shipping is a family owned growing and packing operation in Stockton, CA. The Bozzano family owns and operates a 54 acre organic cherry orchard and a 45 acre organic olive orchard. Although the trees were planted in 1980 when Jack Bozzano began farming, the orchard is only in its 5^thseason of organic production.  Jack said it was his wife Nancy, who had a long standing interest in healthy and sustainable food systems, that inspired the transition to organic production 8 years ago.

Nearly 1/2 of the original employees still help us every year. The Jewel Date Company is the parent company of Shields Date Garden and handles all wholesale orders for Shields Date Garden.

Farmer Brian Violini, who runs CVP with his brother, sums up their family's farming history fairly succinctly, "we've had this farm for three generations.  My grandfather came over from Switerland.  He started with a dairy, then moved into farming.  My dad and my uncle ran the farm after him, and now it's me and my brother.  Farming, it's all we know."

The seeds for Terra Firma Farm were planted in the late 1980s when Paul Holmes began farming a few acres in the hills west of Winters with a few friends under the name Sky High Farm. Paul developed a following for his garlic, tomatoes, and other vegetables as one of the founding members of both the Davis Farmers Market and Berkeley Farmers Market. Sky High Farm was also one of the original members of California Certified Organic Farmers, prior to official state and federal recognition of organics.

Three Star Farms has been growing melons in Los Banos for 95 years and Berj Moosekian is a 3rd generation farmer.  Three Star Farms has built their reputation on consistently growing/shipping melons of the highest quality and flavor.  Berj feels that the high quality and excellent flavor of Three Star melons is due, in part, to the farm's location in the west valley. The west valley (Firebaugh to Los Banos) is ideal for growing melons because of its rich soil and low water table. The hot, dry conditions also contribute to this being an excellent growing region for melons.  

Originally from San Jose, California, Cheryl Stewart and husband Ron seemed unlikely candidates for organic farming given their ownership of several dry cleaning stores. However, according to Stewart, they always wanted to buy a farm, particularly a fruit orchard. So in 1975, the couple purchased a motor home, packed up their three young sons and began touring farming states throughout the West, including Washington, Idaho and Oregon. "We always wanted to get out into the country and raise some great tasting fruit," says Stewart. "We're a very adventurous family, so we moved on and never looked back."

Over fifty years ago, Marko Zaninovich recognized that the hot, arid climate and long, sunny days of California's southern  San Joaquin Valley were ideal for growing quality table grapes.  It was in the heart of this valley that he established the roots of  Sunview.  Combining this solid foundation with the talents of the founding father's second generation, the company has grown to become one of California's largest family-owned and operated table grape operations.

With their house nestled within their organic kiwifruit orchard, Dennis and Debbie’s home is “paradise.” Their commitment to Organic Kiwifruit production reflects their way of life and their connection with the land around them. Dennis is one of New Zealand’s many dairy farmers who have converted farmland to a commercial kiwifruit orchard. He has been growing ZESPRI® GREEN Kiwifruit now for over 30 years and ZESPRI® GREEN ORGANIC Kiwifruit for over 10 years. Dennis’s decision to transition to organic practices was driven by a desire to protect and nurture the environment that provides shelter and a livelihood for his family.

We are third generation farmers transitioning into the organic markets over the last 10 years. We now have over 100 acres certified organic by CCOF. We currently grow brussels sprouts, leeks, artichokes, beets, peas, beans and pumpkins.

The first generation of farmers began in 1920 when Dante Rodoni came from Italy to the USA. He was 10 years old and attended local schools while living at the Younger Ranch. At age 16, he moved with his family to the Hoover Ranch on Waddell Creek and worked with his father in cattle.

The Heinke Family pioneered the commercial kiwi fruit industry in the United States, setting out nine plants as an experiment for the State of California in 1960. Five years later their first commercial shipment of 166 pounds brought .80 per pound. Today, fifteen acres produce premium kiwi fruit that is handpicked and handpacked according to size for sale in the United States and overseas markets. John's and David's expertise in farming has proven to be a valuable asset in juice making. They have learned from the ground up that growing conditions, selecting the right varieties and proper handling of the fruit determines the quality of the finished product.

The Heinke's Family is very dedicated and takes great pride in being "America's Premier supplier of Organically grown Concord Table Grapes".

Rincon Farms is located in Carpinteria, California. Our cool, coastal climate is ideal for growing and packing California avocados.

Honey Heaven was established in 1972 as a specialty honey shop in Eugene. The business was purchased by Eugene Scott in 1981 and he changed the business focus to wholesale after having trouble with employees eating the product inventory. In August of 2003, Charlie and Julie Tilt purchased the business from Eugene when he retired. We have grown in many ways since then, including selling a greater diversity of products. Consequently, we thought a name change that embodies our spirit would be appropriate. We chose the hummingbird because of its versatility -it flies in all directions- and its gentle nature- it sips the nectar of the flowers without harming the flowers. As of 2007, our name is Hummingbird Wholesale!

Baia Pasta is an Oakland-based artisan food company founded by Renato Sardo with Dario Barbone. Both Renato and Dario were born and raised in Piemonte, a region in Northwestern Italy.

After a few years of study, Renato extracted enough wisdom from the Italian maestri to start extruding his own pastasciutta made from all sorts of grains from local farms.

Las Palmalitas Ranch has been owned by one family for over 150 years. In 1868 the Thurmond family came from North Carolina to settle in the Carpinteria Valley.

Carpinteria and the Central Coast have become the heart of the California avocado growing region. The fertile soil of California provides prime growing conditions for excellent and premium avocados.

Located 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean the Thurmond’s-Upson’s-Peters and finally Carleton’s came to own the family land (20 acres). Adjacent to Las Palmalitas Ranch, and part of the original ranch, is 50 acres of avocados owned by our other family members. Sharron Carleton comes from this long line of farmers and keeps a close eye on how her son (Billy) and husband (Will) run the ranch.

Josie’s Organics are grown today in the same, fertile California valley where our grandparents, young Swiss immigrants Sebastian and Josie Braga, started farming in the 1920s. Now, keeping their high standards for quality, integrity and sustainability in mind, a third generation of Bragas runs the family business.

As a young boy, our president and CEO, Rod Braga, fondly remembers watching “Nonnie Josie” hand-clipping leaves of baby lettuce. She served only the best seasonal produce to her family then, and today we tend the farm with the same care.

Sebastian and Josie would be proud. Nearly a century ago, they started out growing beets, tomatoes, onions, hay and corn. Today, along with employees who have been with the company since our youngest cousin was born, we harvest more than 25 varieties of premium, USDA certified organic fresh vegetables, and deliver them to people all over the world.

Rainier Fruit Company is one of the largest growers of fresh apples, pears, cherries and blueberries in the United States. But we started with humble beginnings. The roots of our company date back to 1888 when our ancestors moved to Washington from Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and started growing apples on a small parcel in Selah. Since then, we have steadily grown with the dedication of their descendants whose commitment to quality is the rootstock for producing the finest apples, pears and cherries anywhere in the world.

When founders Mayra and Manuel Velazquez de Leon started Organics Unlimited in 2000, it was with a mission to provide the best quality organic tropical fruits to consumers in the US, Canada and Mexico.

A.V. Thomas Produce sells sweet potatoes under the Nature's Pride brand.

Beginning with a small acreage in 1988, consumer interest in "organic" sweet potatoes has grown to the point that A.V. Thomas Produce is now the largest grower-packer-shipper of organic sweet potatoes in the United States

California ranks fourth in areas planted with sweet potatoes with about 11,500 acres, and third in production with about 4.5 million 40-lb. boxes. Over 80% of California sweet potato and yam production is in Merced County, geographically located in the center of the state in the most productive agricultural area in the world – the San Joaquin Valley. In Merced County, the crop has a farm gate value of more than $45 million.

California grows many types of sweet potatoes and yams, however, consumers can typically find three kinds in the supermarkets:

Golden Sweet or O'Henry...A dry flesh potato with a mild, nutty flavor, yellow to cream colored on the inside with light brown skin. Excellent in casseroles, side dishes or simply baked and served as an alternative to either sweet orange types or a plain Irish Potato.

Beauregard or Covington...This is the number one selling sweet potato in the California and United States. Bright orange, moist and sweet on the inside, copper colored on the outside. Excellent for baking, casseroles, roasting or simply by themselves.

Diane or Red Yams... Extra moist and flavorful, these potatoes are orange on the inside with red copper to plum colored skin. The Garnet is the premium red yam and well worth the extra money if it is available. Best baked in the skin and served with butter, these sweet potatoes also do well in pies, cakes and breads.

Orange County is orange less.

Our farm is an anomaly.  In less than 10 years this could be the only farm left in Orange County. Not only is there soon to be nowhere to farm, there is really no one to left do the farming in Orange County.

Notice that we have a few new pages on our website. Please visit those pages to see what we are up too next.  I have expanded the scope of South Coast Farms.

Anthony A. Bianco's business skills surfaced early in his life. As an 18-year-old Italian immigrant, he bought and sold fresh produce from a pushcart in the streets of New york City. His determination to succeed led him to open a marketing and distribution company on the New York Produce Market within only a few years.

24 years later, Anthony Bianco moved with his wife and 8 children to Fresno, California to be closer to the grapes and tree fruit that he would sell through his New York office. In 1950, he founded Bi-Mor Farms and Bianco Fruit Corporation to market his produce. By 1958, he had earned national prominence and was proclaimed, "Juice Grape King of the United States," by New Yorker Magazine.

“Service. Quality. Integrity”

The Wild River name was inspired by our farm’s location alongside the Yuba River which surges out of the rugged Sierra Nevada Mountains into the fertile Sacramento Valley in Northern California.  For more than a century, gold miners, politicians and farmers have tried to tame the 10-year flood cycle of the river’s south fork.  Our family took a different approach.  Led by our patriarch, Gordon Noland, we progressively changed our agricultural practices to adapt to the nuances and rhythm of the river.  As a result, Wild River’s orchards and vineyards thrive, naturally nourished by the highly fertile, nutrient-rich topsoil deposited by the river’s overflow.

Our family has farmed this land for over five decades.  Our hands have designed the state of the art irrigation system, planted, pruned and harvested the fruit.  Unlike large corporate farms, we know the provenance of each piece that carries the Wild River™ label and we proudly guarantee our product’s incomparable quality for you and your family to enjoy.

Welcome to Wild River.

Larry Peter, owner of Spring Hill Jersey Cheese company and Petaluma Creamery, grew up in Sebastopol, CA. His father, Virgil Peter, worked for 40 years in lumberyards. His mother, Georgia Peter, grew gourmet potatoes and sold them at local farmer's markets where she eventually became known as the "Potato Queen." Virgil and Georgia always wished they could have raised their kids on a dairy farm.

Of course we use only natural methods of pest control. These complex workings of creation have been successfully sustaining life for eons of time, our organic cultivation principals closely follow those found in the natural world."

The history of the Stueve family is deeply rooted in agriculture. Four generations ago, their ancestors arrived from Germany. They came as Germans but became American farmers, citizens, and Christian leaders in their communities.

Beginning in 1839, on a farm in Missouri, the Stueves learned to clear thick forests so they could cultivate, plant and raise cows, chickens and pigs, using plow horses to do much of the work. They retain their love and respect for horses today.

Some of the second generation, including Harold J.J. Stueve and his two uncles, Elmer and Ed migrated to Southern California to establish Alta Dena Dairy, which, in time, became one of the country’s largest family owned dairy farms.

Today the Stueve family continues their farming tradition in the Sierra Foothills in California’s Central Valley. They work hard to produce high quality, healthy, organic foods. The products produced on their Certified Organic farm include organic milk, beef, eggs, and olive oil. The cows, chickens and beef animals all graze on the pasture together to produce a perfect biodynamic environment for eggs. This farming style encourages high levels of Omega 3’s, CLA’s, and of course, is non-GMO.

We hope you will enjoy the taste and nutrition of their products but also that you appreciate the time, effort and passion that it takes to produce them.

Wishnow Tea was started out of the desire to offer a sustainable wholesale tea program to our customers.  For many years we have packaged tea bags for other companies which often involved attaching a string and tag as well as an over wrap on each tea bag, not to mention the tea box itself.  This unnecessary excess packaging, especially for wholesale use, and the waste we were aware it became never sat well with us.  So rather than sit on the sidelines any longer we decided to get in the game and create a responsible and sustainable wholesale tea program the way we always thought it should be done.

Behind every bag of Bee Sweet’s products is a story of a farmer and his grove. It’s a story of care, thought and countless hours of planning. The plotline touches on coordination with employees, researching market trends and planning for the future; it also incorporates communication with buyers, providing for the consumer and making sure that there are enough citrus commodities to provide for future generations.

Amongst all the things listed, however, is one crucial component to this story: the environment. Without the land we use to grow our citrus, our establishment would be nonexistent. From the soil we use to grow our citrus trees, to the water we use to irrigate our fields – Bee Sweet Citrus wouldn’t be able to be California’s one-stop-shop for citrus without proper care of the land we use.

Environmental stewardship is crucial, necessary and one of Bee Sweet’s main priorities. Read about our project(s) below to gain a better understanding of how we aim to protect the land we so heavily rely on.

Our pastured egg-laying hens are raised on our farm from their second day of life.  We have a variety of heritage breeds including Rhode Island Red, Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, and Barred Rock. We move them multiple times each week throughout our pasture during the spring, summer, and fall months. When temperatures drop, we move our chickens into a truly cage-free, Clearspan hoop house where they have 24 hour access to the outdoors. We respect their natural laying cycle which decreases significantly in the cold months. We never use artificial lights or stressful practices to unnaturally boost production.

Rancho Don Antonio's berry farm is certfied organic by the CCOF since 2011. Located just south of San Luis Obispo they grow some of the best blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries in California. Their blackberries are split up into around 15 acres of uncovered and 8 acres of covered. This helps ensure they can grow yummy blackberries all year long! 

The owner, Antonio (Tony) Chavez worked with consultants from the USDA in 2007 to experiment with lower chill hours for his blackberries. This means that the berries needed less time to sleep and could spend more time growing.

Rancho Don Antonio berries are widely recognized at farmers markets in and around San Louis Obispo. We are very fortunate hear in the Bay Area to offer these wonderfully local berries from Rancho Don Antonio. 

Check the Golden Gate Organics website often for weekly updates on the seasonally local produce we offer from small farms like Rancho Don Antonio. 

When our founder and CEO, Berne Evans, purchased 72 acres of orange groves in the San Joaquin Valley in 1969, he had a vision – to cultivate the fertile California land and create specialty crops that would delight customers across North America and beyond.

Our avocados are harvested at the peak of maturity, carefully processed, packed to perfection, and delivered fresh for enjoyment worldwide.

Goldie Farms and The Goldie Label

Premium quality organically grown 

melons and vegetables.

Originally there were only Goldie melons, 

but in the last five years, an ever-increasing 

winter vegetable program has been added.

Goldie melons include:

Cantaloupe, Green and Orange Honeydew, Galia and Hami,

 Seedless Full Size and Mini, Red and Yellow Watermelon.

Goldie vegetables include:

Broccoli, Sweet Baby Broccoli, Green, Red and Savoy Cabbage, 

Cauliflower, Celery, Bunched Grilling Onions, and Romaine Hearts.

We are a small family farm in  California's Central Valley, growing organic peaches, plums and nectarines.   Our fruit is harvested daily at peak maturity,  and packed at our farm.  The D.E.Boldt label on your fruit lets you know that it came from our farm, and has been grown with your health in mind.

One of our goals as growers is to make the smallest impact possible on the environment. We allow native vegetation to grow year-round and abundant natural predators in our fields keep pest problems in check.   

Our crops are certified by CCOF, which means everything we do complies with the National Organic Program.

The San Joaquin Valley was a lake thousands of years ago, resulting in soil, rich in essential nutrients for producing the sweetest produce in the nation. The region’s hot, arid climate and consistent temperature enables the growth of crops all year round.

We learned long ago that if you take good care of the soil, it will give back. Valpredo Farms maintains the vitality of the soil through scrupulous evaluation, testing and good farming practices. Over the three generations of farming, we have perfected a cultivation schedule that reinvigorates our land with necessary nutrients through crop rotation and deep tilling down to the aquifer.

We strive to cultivate our crops and maintain our land in the Bako region so that we can provide the best tasting produce for your family.

We are a family-owned farm bringing you fresh, sustainably-grown produce from earth to table.

We are located on the west side of Fresno and Merced Counties in the San Joaquin Valley of California. Our primary business is growing organic crops which include cantaloupes, honeydew melons, mix melons, watermelons, and asparagus. 

The grandfather of Ed Montecucco started farming in Oregon in 1926, shortly after he arrived from Italy. His first farm was in Parkrose, where he raised fresh vegetables for the city market. Needing room to expand after World War II, the farm moved down to the Canby area and has taken on family member partnerships through the years starting with Ed’s father and uncle, then his brother Paul and their cousin Steve. Currently, Ed’s sons Brian and Jason run the farm, representing the fourth generation at Montecucco Farms.

Apple Starr Orchard parcels cover approximately 28 acres of which  8 acres are planted with apples and pears.There are approximately 1000 trees with their numbers balanced between apples and pears.  The trees range in age from 20 to 70 years and the majority have low branches that children can access.  We only use certified organic products and are inspected annually to maintain our certification. 

To us, it's simple: We believe growing food should not come at the cost of hurting our workers or the ecological systems around us.

We believe farming should work in conjunction with the natural world, not against. With every decision we make on the farm, we keep in mind our long term goal of leaving the land better than how we found it. How do we do this? Generally speaking, we do so by returning to the soil equal or greater of that which we use from the soil to grow our crops. We look for innovative, organically-approved methods for treating our weed, pest, and nutrition problems. We plan ahead, and employ preventative practices whenever and wherever we can. We adopt methods that allow us to conserve resources when possible. We pay our employees fairly for their hard work and expect a high caliber of professionalism and care in return. Ultimately we work daily to create a farm and workplace that we not only can feel good about, but that provides real (tasty) results.

Ralph's Greenhouse is a family farm located on a bend of the Skagit River in northwestern Washington's Skagit Valley. The de Vries family moved from The Netherlands in the late 1950's, and from 1960-1980 Ralph had a dairy farm. When he retired in 1980 he started a garden next to the dairy farm called Ralph's Greenhouse where he grew leeks for the market and Dutch potatoes for his Dutch friends. Ralph didn’t use herbicides, pesticides, or artificial fertilizer because, he said, "We didn't use them in the Old Country!" In 1988 the retirement project got to be too much for him, and he asked his son Ray if he could help a little. This started Ray's involvement in the farming business. Since then the business has expanded a bit and today the farm grows kale, chard, collards, beets, carrots, fennel, parsnips, spinach, fingerling potatoes, and lots of leeks.

Hans Wilgenburg was born and raised on his family’s dairy farm near San Diego. While earning a degree at Cal Poly in Crop Science, Hans met his future wife, Sharon, who was studying Dietetics and Food Administration. They moved to Dinuba in 1987, and Hans founded Wilgenburg Greenhouses in 1989. Their son, Mathew, and daughters, Naomi, Carey, and Libby, were the first to enjoy his tomatoes and European cucumbers.

Handled with “Kid gloves” is how Wilgenburg’s tomatoes are harvested today. Each worker wears cotton gloves when picking and packing the fruit. Bumble bees pollinate the tomato flowers, searching and finding the flowers that need to be pollinated. They only work the flowers that have pollen available for them to store. Good pollination is essential to achieve the final result of a good, firm, tasty and juicy tomato.

Flavor and nutrition are intertwined in Hans’ philosophy and practice of farming. Compost for the fertilizer is made on the farm. Hans became a worm farmer, using the worm castings to further enhance the nutritional value of the soil medium, in which the tomatoes and cucumbers are grown. The good health of both the soil and plant has a direct correlation to the health and flavor of the fruit.

We are Victor Cortez and Veronica Ceja from Capulin, Michoacan Mexico. We immigrated to Gonzales, California to form our family and in search of more opportunities to improve our livelihoods. Here in California, our three children, Noe, Emmanuel, and Mariana, were born. We found the Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA) in Salinas, CA. ALBA offers a farm education and business incubator program for family farmers like us. We graduated from the course in 2013 and began farming on 1-acre on ALBA’s land. We have since grown to 4-acres and sell our crops to licensed distributors and farmers markets.

Our biggest challenge owing our own land and equipment; however, this is also our goal for the next two years. As a family-run business, we hope to feed and educate around organic agriculture. Our biggest hope is to help fight diseases caused by pesticide-use by providing quality organic produce to people and contributing to their healthier lifestyles.

Fruit World founders Bianca Kaprielian and C.J. Buxman grew up on opposite sides of the same small town, both on multigenerational stone fruit farms. Childhood on the farm in Reedley, California, was one of dusty rides in a pickup truck, surrounded by trees and the aroma of peaches, plums, and nectarines. They filed in the packing house to learn office operations and spent hours helping out in the field, soaking up harvesting lessons and the San Joaquin Valley sun.

In 2017, C.J. and Bianca founded Fruit World to celebrate and carry on their family legacy of sustainable farming practices and good stewardship of the land.

They now grow and sell organic and conventional citrus and organic grapes, apricots, pomegranates, and avocados.

Fruit World is all about peak-season pickings, flavor-packed produce, and keeping family farming thriving into future generations.

We are producers of premium, certified organic fruit from the foothills of the Cascade Mountain range in Washington State. Our growers have been farming fruit in central Washington since 1894.

Cascade Crest Organics has always stood for quality in the world of Organic Fruit production. And Chelan Fresh is proud to represent the growers who believe that growing fruit using USDA Organic approved standards is a benefit to both the land and the consumers who enjoy the fruit. Columbia Valley Fruit growers believe the same and chose to join our Cascade Crest Organics label to now bring our 2018 season offering to over 1.5 million boxes of 12 varieties of apples, 6 varieties of pears and consumer stone fruit favorites such as organic cherries, plums, pluots and nectarines. We and are poised for substantial growth with plantings of new varieties such as high color Honeycrisp, sport Fuji and Gala offerings.

Since 1979, Solana Gold Organics has been dedicated to providing the very best organic apple juice, organic apple sauce, and organic apple cider vinegar products. We consistently maintain organic, sustainable farming and processing practices, and all of our apples are grown without the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.

Sonoma County, CA, the location of Solana Gold Organics and our farming collective, Appleseed Orchards, is in the heart of what many know only as "wine country". True, our climate is famous today for growing exceptional wine grapes - but apples have always thrived here too! Once upon a time the many acres of apple orchards around our home town of Sebastopol stretched as far as the eye could see.

Today our orchards still support many thriving giant Gravenstein trees that have rewarded generations with world-renowned flavor since the first plantings in the late 1800's. These original trees, still healthy and in active production, tower with impressive gracefulness on our local hillsides. Many trunk circumferences are over 7 feet--a living tribute to our hearty pioneer ancestors who planted the seeds!

Following the inspiration of Sonoma County Calilfornia's determined growers of 100 years ago, Solana Gold Organics is committed to producing top quality organic apple products that we know you and your family will love. We hope you enjoy our organic products as much as we do!

The Hamadas have been involved in raising and packing Walla Walla River Sweet Onions for most of their lives. It all started in 1906 when Jikichi Hamada immigrated to the United States from Japan and started farming vegetables in the Seattle area. Jikichi and his family were relocated and confined to an internment camp during World War II. The farm was lost during the internment. After the war, the Jikichi settled in the Walla Walla Valley with his wife and seven sons and they began raising onion seed.

As the family grew, grandsons Randy & Barry learned how to raise Walla Walla River Sweet Onions from their father. Alan and Harry began their own farm in 1975. Brian, another grandson, has been raising Walla Walla River Sweet Onions since 1984.

It has been over sixty years since the Hamada family started a new life in the beautiful Walla Walla Valley, and their Walla Walla River Sweet Onion tradition continues today…

I was born in Punjab, India. My parents came to the Golden State made a home for our family. Shortly after arriving in the U.S., they naturally gravitated to agriculture, as they had been farmers in India. Our family has found that tilling the soil is what makes us happy and productive. Earning a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering followed by a master's degree in Business Administration, I began my career sourcing and marketing petrochemical ingredients and paints in Western India. I then spent time with Olam sourcing coffee and cocoa beans in Ivory Coast, Africa where I learned French, and later in Canada, was trained in agricultural and investment banking. I went on to help Olam set up their North American marketing operations for Cashews, Peanuts, and Pecans. Eventually, I realized that “home is where the heart is,” and for me, that is California’s San Joaquin Valley. There, James Blocker and I built the Almond sourcing and marketing business for Olam, and ultimately founded Valley Pride. My work experience and appreciation for farming have given me to perfect skill set for marketing the products from California farms to companies around the globe.

Colored potatoes, reds, golds, yellows, whites, purples, fingerlings and french fingerlings. The remaining acreage divided among wheat, alfalfa, mint and corn.  About 8 or 9 years ago their father grew about 10 acres of organic potatoes.  Now they have about 80 acres.

Keitt mangos have virtually no stringy fibers and a thin pit which means more fruit to devour. This unique domestic mango does not have to travel far and is left on the tree until it has developed a high level of maturity and sweet flavor. California Keitts are grown in the Coachella Valley, which runs for about 45 miles in Riverside County from Palm Springs to the northern part of the Salton Sea.

Keitts are also extra special because they are not subjected to the stress of a hot water bath, as most imported mangos are, contributing to a delicious eating experience.  Almost all imported mangos are hot water treated to eliminate fruit flies and fruit fly larvae. The mangoes are put into a hot water bath (115-118 F) anywhere from 5-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 80-85 degrees.

Certified Organic since 2008.  Ray Sumano purchased the mushroom farm in 2017.  "In Sumano’s Organic Mushrooms Farm our commitment is to provide high quality great tasting mushrooms at a fair price. In our farm we grow, shiitake, lion mane and various kinds of oyster mushrooms organically all year around."

"We're looking to expand our mushroom operations.  We've got 10 acres of greenhouses that we currently grow on, but only use about 25% of available capacity.  People want a local, organically grown product and we're delighted to be able to supply them with these tasty mushrooms."

Ken Kimes and Sandra Ward of New Natives are part owners in the mushroom operation.  They sell the tasty mushrooms with their sprouts at Monterey County farmers markets.

Just Jujubes from Rock Front Ranch are California Grown! Located just 40 miles from the Pacific Ocean, in Santa Barbara County near Santa Maria, Rock Front Jujubes are grown on 320-acres, which sits at the gateway of the Cuyama Valley, surrounded by miles of chaparral and oak forests. This unique landscape is strewn with wildflowers, coastal plants, and towering desert rock formations.

Famous for its rich soil, the Cuyama Valley is heated by the sun each day and cooled by the western sea breeze each evening. These swings in temperature are important for your taste buds, as they encourage the maximum production of sugars for optimum flavor of the tree-ripened fruit.  Rock Front Ranch jujubes are extremely drought resistant, sipping—rather than gulping—precious water. This zero-waste crop thrives in their sandy, loam soil, which is enhanced with their own compost deliberately cultivated to sequester carbon from the air and encourage the growth of good fungi and bacteria.

Farmer’s Own Organic started in 1982 as a grower cooperative to serve the budding organic industry and to provide growers and their communities a reliable livelihood, by selling their products locally and nationally.

With the establishment of a grower liaison, we were able to create a system that maintains the benefit to the growers and to the consumer alike.

In the beginning we had 12 growers packing in the FO Brand and today we have over 30. These efforts have encouraged people to try farming to provide a solid income for growers who sell to us on a regular basis.

First and foremost, Mt. Hood Organic Farms is a family run farm, operated by Brady and John Jacobson, which just happens to be situated in a stunningly beautiful location at the base of Mt. Hood in the Upper Hood River Valley. The valley supplies about 30% of all the winter pears grown in America and is bookended by Mt. Hood to the south and Mt. Adams to the north. The mighty Columbia River and its Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area are 15 miles to the south as well.

Although the farm dates to the turn of the century (the main farmhouse was build in 1904), John and Brady began working the orchards in 1981. Inspired by European techniques and committed to sustainable land use, the Jacobsons undertook an extensive orchard renovation and transition to organic farming that resulted in full organic certification in 1989—the first farm in the valley to achieve this status.

As better reflects their view of the importance of the integration of natural landscape and wildlife into their farming practices, and returning to the deeper origins of the organic movement, Brady and John also became certified Biodynamic® growers.

I am Rich Ferreira, owner of Side Hill Citrus in Lincoln, California. I live on my Placer County mandarin ranch with my two beautiful daughters. The girls grew up on the ranch and are still very active in the business.

In 1975, I bought the original 17 acre ranch with only 100 Satsuma mandarin orange trees. Organic since 1989.  Today Side Hill Citrus has grown to 48 acres and over 3,000 Satsuma mandarin orange trees. Together my ranch hand and I do everything needed to run the ranch and grow these sweet, seedless and easy to peel citrus fruit.

From my ranch manager, Danny, to the crew of pickers, we all work together to make mandarin season a success every year. Many of the same pickers have worked with me for decades. I truly appreciate their loyalty and believe in supporting them accordingly. From picking, packing, and farm maintenance, they are all an integral part of the Side Hill Citrus Team

Since 1980, Ken and Sandra have been growing organic microgreens, a “super-food” that comes in many textures and flavors. Microgreens are plants between seven and ten days old that have sprouted from seed, but don’t yet have true leaves. Despite their small size, ounce for ounce, microgreens provide more nutrients than any other natural food. They are delicious in salads and sandwiches.

"We begin with the seed. We use, literally, tons of seed annually, and it ALL has to be organic. The growth cycle is initiated with pure, clean, tested water from our deep well. The seed is planted in our mineral rich composted vegan soil. The plants enjoy the natural light from the sun and plenty of fresh air. Our farming practices are basic, simple and natural. It works very well for us and for the food we produce."

New Natives received their organic certification from CCOF way back in 1983. The farm, nestled in a valley on 5-acres off Hames Road in Corralitos, uses only certified organic seed. Sandra and Ken have developed partnerships with organic farmers to grow seeds for them for sprouting. Through these partnerships New Natives is helping other small family farmers to prosper.

Sunflower Greens is New Native’s most popular product. They supply microgreens to many area natural foods stores, juice bars and restaurants. Their farm produces several other microgreens including, arugula, broccoli, cilantro, daikon radish, pea shoots, wheatgrass, buckwheat lettuce, and a mixed variety of lentils and beans.

New Natives Offers sprouting workshops for people who wish to grow sprouts at home. “We love to teach people about sprouting. It’s a fun and easy thing to do at home with the kids,” said Sandra. Instructions for growing microgreens can be found at on their website at www.newnatives.com/growing.html.

Near the turn of the 19th century, the Northern Pacific Railroad opened a depot in Yakima, Washington, giving the rest of the world a way to taste the fruits of Central Washington.  More than 100 years ago, three men saw the unlimited potential of this fertile region offering rich soil, sunny days and easy irrigation making it the perfect birthplace of a new ag industry. 

Fred B. Plath incorporated Washington Fruit in 1916 to grow, pack and ship quality tree fruit.  Washington Fruit has marketed apples, pears and cherries under the Independent label for over a century.  A partnership with Mt. Adams Fruit was formed in the 1940s.  Mt. Adams grows, packs and ships premium apples, pears and cherries from the scenic Columbia River Gorge.  The partnership has enabled Washington Fruit to provide customers with fresh fruit year-round.

Incorporating sustainable agricultural techniques for soil health will enable Washington Fruit to meet customer's needs without compromising the ability of future generations.  Soil is a mixture of minerals, air, water and organic materials.  We promote healthier soil life by planting cover crops to build soil biomass.  Our non-till practices include mowing, chipping, and recycling most plant matter.  Decomposing plant parts add organic matter to the soil which improves structure and helps retain water.  These natural inputs reduce the dependency on synthetic fertilizers which produces higher soil quality without a negative environmental impact.

It all starts with a good seed.  For Starr Ranch Growers, that good seed was our founder - the late Paul "Tommy" Thomas.  We're proudly rooted in the traditions he started back in 1934, when he founded our company in the heart of Washington's apple country.  Tommy started Starr Ranch as a business that would grow and nurture, not produce and monetize. 

Tommy believed in the power of hard work, honesty, and treating others with respect.  For more than three-quarters of a century, we've been using these values as our guide.  In all stages of our business, from growing to packing and shipping.  We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity. 

Initially, most of our fruit was grown on the original 300-acre Starr Ranch, south of Pateros on the beautiful Columbia River.  But in the 1960s, the orchard was flooded with the construction of Wells Dam.  Tommy and his fellow partners bought two more 100-acre ranches near Brewster and constructed the first packing plant, which still lives on as one of Starr Ranch Growers' warehouses today.  In the 1970s, after 40 years as a Washington fruit man, Tommy sold his interest in Starr Ranch Growers to his son Dalton.

Starr Ranch Growers began with just fifteen growers packing out of a single shed.  Today, there are more than 7,000 acres of orchards and multiple plant locations.

"My name is Rafael Álvarez Herrera and I am a Mexican grower of organic blackberry.

I am a father of four children, and my wife Anilu, who is also a grower, has been my life partner. Growing organic berries is our passion and it is something that we both share and work on together.

In 2007, with only 2 hectares, we started to grow organic blackberries in the valley of Los Reyes, Michoacán, México. We were pioneers of organic berries production in the region.

The first years were very difficult, however, we never gave up believing that organic agriculture was the future of the world. We kept placing our bets on organic production even in adverse times.

Today my wife and I we have a land surface of 53.2 hectares of organic blackberry with three varieties such as Tupy, Aketzally and Amelali, having a production around 5,000 boxes per hectare and 11 tons per hectare per harvest. Our production plan allows us to have 1 or 2 harvest per season depending on the weather.

In our orchards, additional to being 100% organic, we focus on good agricultural practices and prioritize food safety practices as per our Global GAP certificate.   

Our crew in the orchards constitutes of many men and women that are able to provide a better lifestyle to their families.   

Thank you and warm regards.”

John and Vicki Bostock started out as conventional apple and squash growers in the 1980s.  They lived on an apple orchard with their three young boys and quickly became concerned with the industry's liberal use of pesticides and other artificial substances, so they started looking for healthier and safer alternatives. 

The couple started converting their Hawke's Bay apple orchards to organic in 1996.  They were the first growers to approach organic apple production on a commercial scale. 

In 1999 John purchased a minority shareholding in D M Palmer (DMP), a major exporter of primary products.  In the years following, the company increased exports to include a wider range of New Zealand grown fruit and vegetables.  In 2003 John bought 100% of DM Palmer.

After many years of positive growth, John decided to consolidate and simplify the various brands and relaunched as Bostock New Zealand in 2015.

Bostock New Zealand now exports to over 20 different countries throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America.

Pete Overgaag's grandparents founded "Pete's" in 1970.  They started working in greenhouses during the 1920's & 30's in Holland.  Pete has been working in the company most of his life.  

Growing in greenhouses has a few benefits.  It controls the elements and creates an ideal environment for the plants.  Compared to traditional field grown crops it saves 75% to 85% of water.  A quarter amount of space is needed to grow the same amount of crops. 

Pete's grows Living Butter Lettuce, Living Red Butter Lettuce, Living Spring Mix, and Wondercress.

They are certified organic with CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) and committed to regenerative practices. Sustainability is an important value that Farmer Al has embraced since choosing to go organic in 1989. 

We first met with Anna’s Organics, a new grower partner located near Chowchilla, CA. With about 60 acres smack in the middle of conventional fruit groves, we were greeted by a hand-painted sign: “Organic farm, do not spray”, a necessary reminder as a blaring crop duster circled the fields next door. The plane made dramatic turns, drawing our attention as it drowned out our conversations with noise. When we asked, they ensured us that local patrols work to enforce buffer zones and protect the organic production from chemicals. But the scenario provided a palpable frame for what organic growers in the Valley can be up against.  

Outside of their small pack-shed we met Manuel, father and principal grower, Luis, his son who takes care of sales, Anna, his daughter in charge of business and organic compliance, and their mother: quality control, and operations. It’s a true family-run business!  

Carrying on the 100-year tradition, growing delicious stone fruit is natural to the Petersons. The family farm is located in the heart of the central valley, in a small Swedish town called Kingsburg. Vern grew up working alongside his father in the orchards. Now Vern, along with his son Erik, farm a variety of organic tree fruits including peaches, plums, and nectarines. A family tradition passed on to the next generation.

The Petersons farm below the soil to support maximum biodiversity and levels of organic matter. Healthy soil is the foundation of Regenerative Organic farming techniques. This includes promoting an environment where microorganisms can thrive, further enriching the soil on which Peterson trees stand. 

The family also raises organic chickens, using their waste for fertilizer on the farm. A symbiotic relationship that naturally boosts farming operations.
