Gene’s Story
Gene Bianchi spent the early part of his career as a math and physics teacher and later worked as educational counselor. He also dabbled in real estate and construction before becoming an avocado grower years ago. His grove is organic and is a certified wildlife habitat. Gene is a natural born problem solver. He is one of three growers in the U.S. participating in a water efficiency experiment utilizing a satellite-based irrigation system. He is proud of the fact that he personally inspects every bin of avocados that leaves his grove.
