Local Grow­ers

In 1968, when Bob and Rod Grimm set up their first road­side pro­duce stand, the broth­ers made a promise to always take care of the cus­tomers. More than 3 decades later, they are still hon­or­ing that promise. That has never been more evi­dent than with Grimmway Farms’ organic divi­sion Cal-​Organic.

Start­ing with a quar­ter acre of let­tuce in 1983, and an idea of doing things dif­fer­ently, they have taken the busi­ness to include 60 dif­fer­ent year-​round veg­etable items. Today the busi­ness has grown to thou­sands of cer­ti­fied organic acres. It still remains fam­ily owned and oper­ated, while pro­mot­ing fam­ily val­ues and integrity every day.

Work­ing hard to pro­vide per­sonal ser­vice and find­ing solu­tions for pro­duce needs, Cal-​O is con­stantly advanc­ing the tech­nol­ogy of organic agri­cul­ture to the high­est lev­els. As one of the only farms in California’s south­ern San Joaquin Val­ley to con­vert to organic agri­cul­ture, they are very proud of their rich farm­ing heritage.
