Our Farm History
We've been growing pumpkins for the public since 1999, though
our farming roots begin in the 1920's. That is when my Grandfather
immigrated here from Molina di Quasa, Italy. After working some
years as a field laborer for a local farm, he decided to give it a go
running his own farm. He leased a parcel that contained the Tunitas
property we now farm on. Through determination and great toil, he
became very successful growing crops such as peas, beans,
lettuce and most of all Artichokes! In the 1940's he purchased a
farm in downtown Half Moon Bay and operated both plots. As the
years went on he focused more of his effort into his downtown
parcel and eventually stopped all farming operations on Tunitas.
Flash forward to 1998. We were able to aquire a piece of family
history when one of the Tunitas parcels he farmed so long ago,
became available. Since then our family has worked together to
preserve traditional farming and incorporate sustainable practices
to produce fresh, healthy produce. We currently do not maintain
certified organic status, though we do follow organic farming
practices. Below is our family.
