| We are a small family farm located in Nipomo California. We have 5 acres of sweet, red Fuji apple trees. In addition we grow a variety of fruits and vegetables to make our homemade salsa, pickles, and jam. We don't use any pesticides, our 300 free range chickens take care of the bugs. We have White Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, and Aracauna Chickens. They roam the farm during the day, grazing on weeds and bugs. They keep the ochard cropped and fertilized. In addition we feed them an 18% protein chicken pellets. They return to the chicken coop by sunset to roost and to stay safe through the night from predators. Their eggs are collected and sold at the farmer's markets daily! You can't get any fresher! We also have a certified kitchen on site and we make everything fresh for the local weekly farmer's markets. It's a family operation in which we are all responsible for different aspects of the business. Vincent, the dad, does all of the canning, is the go-to guy for anything that comes up on the farm, and is the hardest working 76 year old we know! Vance, the youngest son, is the primary producer of all the wonderful goods we sell at the farmer's markets. He is a baker and a carmel apple maker! Varden, the older son, takes care of the orchard.He tends to all of the delicious fruits and vegetables. Tami, Vance's girlfriend, helps out whenever needed. From markets, to webpages, to label making,to feeding chickens and washing eggs, she can do it all with a smile on her face. We split up to attend the local farmer's markets, and we all do our best to keep up with the daily chores. Its hard work, but to make our delicious good quality fresh products, its worth it. |
