PIONEERS OF ORGANIC FARMING
Cal-Organic Farms started with a quarter acre of lettuce and the determination to do things differently. More than three decades later, we’ve grown to produce more than 65 seasonal and year-round vegetables and we’ve been able to increase our organic acreage year after year. We’re driven by a responsibility to care for the land and for our customers, and we’re proud to promote family values and integrity in all that we do.
