Handed Down

Rancho de Santa Fe is a sixteenth-generation farm; the Velardes have been growing fruit at Velarde Orchards for over four hundred years, since 1598. They sell their produce and dozens of value-added products at the Fruit Basket. In this episode of 5-Minute Fridays, Eddie Velarde and his son Caleb share their family’s history and reflect on what farming will look like for the next generation.This episode is brought to you by  Quivira Coalition.
