Meet our family of growers who put care and craftsmanship into every California Avocado.
Will Carleton’s neighbors breathe easy, and with good reason. Will’s flourishing California Avocado groves, a testament to his eco-friendly farming practices, are an asset to the community. Will believes that what we do to this earth will be important to our children as well as our grandchildren.
According to Will, the lighter the touch, the longer we can enjoy what nature has provided. “Avocados have survived a long time before pesticides and chemical fertilizers,” he adds; “and they will continue to do very well without them.”
