The Peterson Family Farm

Stroll onto the Peterson Family Farm in Kingsburg, CA and you'll feel the song of work; the buzz of farm activity, the tractor rolling through the rows, and a melody... a bit of an old hymn, sung by owner, Vernon Peterson, as he moves about his ranch. If there is a man that is characterized by a musical note, a beaming smile, and an open heart, it's Vernon Peterson. His wife, Carol, son, Erik and daughter, Heather, form The Peterson Family Farm. Proud of their Swedish heritage, the Petersons have owned and farmed this land for many years. He’s been farming for 31 years; started at age 5, out in the field, grading cannery peaches, across the street from where he lives now.

Vernon farms a variety of organic tree fruit including peaches, plums, nectarines and even persimmons for your holiday celebrations. In addition to the abundant organic tree fruit available throughout the summer, the Peterson Family also raises organic chickens for market. As Vernon says, “It helps when we can use our own chicken manure as fertilizer on our fields. It’s a great relationship”.

The joyful music of farm work hums on as Vernon and family continue to grow fruit and help people... organically!
