Farm History/ Philosophy

Description:

Gary's grandfather Gasper began farming this land in 1926, growing alfalfa hay using horse-drawn plows. An almond orchard was planted in the late 1920s. Gary's father Joseph began working on the farm when he returned from serving in the army during WWII. Gary and his two brothers and sister were raised on the farm. Gary grew up farming alongside his father, and took over the farm when his father passed away. He has been running the farm on his own for 24 years. Gary, who has been single all his life, was active as a foster parent and adopted four children who he raised on the farm.
