Over 100 years ago, back with Woodrow Wilson was President James H. “Cantaloupe” Smith formed a melon packing and growing operation in Turlock, CA. It was hard work but I’m proud to say that my children and the traditions that I started have been passed down. They still farm with the same pride, quality, respect for the land and standard of excellence that I did way back when.
The company remains today a
family-owned
and operated farming business run by James Smith’s son
Don, his grandson Steve, and his
great-grandson Alec.
Technology and
advances in agricultural have filtered into the operations that you
see today but after all these years, one thing we’ve learned is
that there are no shortcuts
to providing the constant, high-quality
Turlock Fruit products you’ve come to expect.
