Was this a family business?

No, David was a history major in college and sold real estate for 20+/- years in Santa Barbara, California. He always had a passion for growing plants, trees, as a hobby! His wife, Nancy, was a flight attendant for Pan Am for over 15 years until they went bankrupt in 1991. With 3 little girls they decided it was the perfect time to be home more and fit the family into farming/orchard business.

Do you have orchard tours?

No, we don’t at this time. We sell all of our fruit ourselves, which requires a lot of time on the road traveling to many farmers markets throughout central and southern California, as well as specialty stores, hotels and restaurants. We would like to incorporate that into our business in the future.
