Overview:
We farm a 75 acre patch of the Central San Joaquin Valley in Madera, California. The San Joaquin is in the southern half of California's Great Central Valley. We have been farming since 1980 and certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers since 1987. We have three children; Liz is twenty-five, working as an optician in Lafayette. Patrick is eighteen, soon off to UC Santa Cruz to find his passion in life. Mike is fifteen, balancing his scholarly pursuits with water polo and baseball. Watered by snow melt streams from the Sierra Nevada, the rich alluvial soils of this region make up the most productive farmscape on earth. We follow the four seasons of the mild Mediterranean climate to produce a year-round palette of bountiful vegetable production. Tom and a staff of ten grow everything from Artichokes to Rutabagas using the latest in biological fertility systems. Denesse manages the hand-harvest, sales and shipping with her permanent staff of 55 and sometimes the help of as many as 40 addtional people. | |
