We’ve been growing pears and plums in Auburn, California since 1918, when George Boorinakis purchased the property on which our farm is located today. Now, four generations later, we are still a small family owned and operated business, and we are passionate about keeping it that way. We’re a registered orgainic farm, and we are committed to incorporating sustainable farming practices wherever possible — we use integrated pest management and low-spray techniques to minimize our environmental impact, we keep bees to pollinate our crops, and, since we’re local, our produce is never transported over long distances or kept in cold storage. We believe we should operate our ranch so that we can meet our present needs without impacting the ability of future generations to meet their needs. We also recognize that we are part of a larger picture — our local ecosystem, and our community. We are excited to see that our community is so supportive and enthusiastic about local, organic, earth-friendly agriculture — it isn’t always easy, especially with the added challenge of managing our land organically, but knowing that so many people are “on board” with our efforts makes all the difference! Thank you for your support of our “little family farm that could!”
