Description

Today, the family business is operated in Ventura County by the fourth generation of Deardorffs. We continue to follow the philosophies and chanlleges set forth by our ancestors. We are doing this by, among many other things, engaging in what we call sustainable farming practices. This component of our business is described in greater detail below.

Our great-grandfather started Deardorff- Jackson Company in Los Angeles, California with a simple philosophy to provide customers with the freshest, best-tasting fruits and vegetables available. Along with our grand-father, the two men remained true to this philosophy and built one of the most well respected family businesses on the West Coast. The company’s produce in the 1930’s and 40’s came from Venice, Hollywood and Los Angeles, California.

As Deardorff Family Farms transitions more acreage to organic production, our customers are seeing the same high standards for quality and freshness in every box as they’ve come to expect from us for over forty years. We offer celery and roma tomatoes grown, packed and shipped under the strict USDA National Organic Program as certified by Quality Assurance International. We also offer NutriClean certified pesticide residue free products form our transitioning acreage. These third party certifiers ensure our customers are getting a genuine USDA certified organic product.

Our celery is field packed and immediately hydro-cooled and refrigerated to preserve its fresh crisp flavor our customers have relied on for generations. Ventura County has an ideal climate for celery production from November through June and for year-round supplies we have celery available from Santa Maria July through November. We offer many different pack styles and sizes to meet our customer’s needs.
