I am an Orange farmer in the "Orange Belt" of the San Joaquin Valley in California. The blog is sometimes actually about farming oranges, but mostly it's about how I see life and the world around us. I hope you enjoy reading and appreciate it in the "spirit" in which it is done. Peace & Thanks for reading! :o)

A "Thank You" from a Farmer
I just want to extend a sincere "thank you" to everyone who supports our nation's small farms. Everyday (and I mean everyday), farmers across the country strive to produce the very best products they can! From "sunup" to "sundown" farmers fight their way to survive in an industry being quickly overrun by large "commercial" farming operations. Along with high taxes, heavy federal, state and local regulations, increasing energy prices, and growing foreign competition, the "gamble" that farmers take everyday on trying to make a living while producing the highest of quality agricultural products, couldn't be rivaled in a Las Vegas casino. So, from all the small family farms across America....THANK YOU for your support!
