Our Farmers

King Fresh’s story goes all the way back to 1933—the year that young farmer Dee Wilson left Oklahoma behind to become a California farmer. Today, King Fresh Produce grows grapes, cherries, pomegranates, and citrus fruits on more than 4,000 acres in California’s San Joaquin Valley and beyond.

At JSM Organics, farmer Javier Zamora grows organic berries, vegetables, and flowers on a 200-acre, certified organic farm. Javier grew up in Mexico and has a deep appreciation for the land. He uses eco-friendly practices like planting cover crops to prevent erosion, feed the soil through nitrogen fixation, and increase biodiversity.

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.

Jack Pandol, a third-generation California grape grower, founded Grapery in 1996. His vineyards in Kern and Tulare counties grow delicious table grapes, including unique varieties like Gum Drops ®, Moon Drops ®, and Cotton Candy ®.

Fruit World is a woman- and LGBTQ+-owned company that markets and sells fruit grown by more than a half-dozen family farms in California’s Central Valley. One of them belongs to CEO Bianca Kaprielian’s family! We love sharing Fruit World’s organic and conventional citrus, grapes, stone fruit, pomegranates, persimmons, and more.

Flavor Tree connects The FruitGuys with more than forty organic and conventional farms in California’s central and southern San Joaquin Valley. Its farms grow mouth-watering fruits like golden kiwis, more than a dozen varieties of cherries, and fabulous Verry Cherry plums (a plum-cherry cross created right here in California).
