Our Farmers

Sweet Valley Produce is a woman- and BIPOC-owned farm that also sells produce for other small family farms. Founder Angelica Estrada and her team grow a rainbow of sweet potatoes and source local apples, strawberries, and more from their friends.

Jim Shanley started farming in 1998 with a plot of avocados in Morro Bay, California. Today, he runs Shanley Farms with his daughter, Megan Shanley Warren! They grow unique and delicious finger limes, avocados, goji berries, passion fruit, and more on two sites—one in Morro Bay and one in Visalia.

Homegrown Organic Farms is a cooperative company representing over 100 organic farmers. Its farms span more than 7,000 acres in California’s San Joaquin Valley and grow organic blueberries, citrus, stone fruit, pomegranates, persimmons, grapes, and more.

Blake and Lisa Carlson have grown stone fruit on their family farm in Kingsburg since 1984, and many of their workers have been with them since the beginning. They’ve supplied The FruitGuys with juicy nectarines, peaches, and plums since 2007.

The Olson family has farmed in Kingsburg, California, for an impressively long time—since 1889! The Olsons have used organic practices since day one (since before we even used the word organic!) and today their farm grows at least seventy-five varieties of certified organic stone fruit, including peaches, plums, apricots, and nectarines.

Kings River Packing dates back to 1853 when farmers William and Mary Hazelton settled in California’s Central Valley. Eight generations on, the family is still growing, packing, and shipping organic and conventional citrus, including fun varieties like Raspberry Oranges ® and Minneola tangelos.
