KENS TOP NOTCH
CERTIFIED ORGANIC FRUIT
REEDLEY CA
Ken grew up
on a farm in the Central Valley,
working in the fields
and going to school.
As a young adult
he was earning his
engineering degree
when he came to terms
with the fact
that his heart wasn't in it.
He missed working outside
with his hands,
he missed agriculture.
Ken returned to farming
and learned
the business
through and through
from trucking
to harvesting,
orchard maintenance and sales.
Eventually Ken was able to purchased
his own 20 acres of land in Reedley, CA
and over the next 25 years expanded
Ken’s Top Notch farm
into a
250-acre certified organic orchard.
Ken knows first hand that
organic farming is more difficult.
It involves more labor
and more costs.
But he also feels it is common sense,
for human health
and environmental health.
He enjoys the
land stewardship piece of farming
and composts all excess food
to enrich the soil on his farm.
One of his greatest enjoyments
of this work
is growing incredible tasting fruit
and being involved in every piece of it
from planting the trees to interacting
with customers at farmers' markets.

J&M Farm
Our father started farming
in the 1940's,
and now the second
and third generations
have taken an active role
in continuing
the family farm.
We grow a variety
of colorful vegetables
but are famous
for our greens
lettuce, spinach, arugula,
romaine, and more.
Our customers
and the changing seasons
determine exactly
what we grow each year.
It's amazing to watch
our plants grow from seeds
to mature and delicious vegetables
for everyone to eat.
