Produce

Balakian Farms (Reedley, CA)

Ginger Balakian heads the operation here, where she grew up. Her mother still has a hand in the farm as well as her husband and daughter. Definitely a family operation. They made the move to organics 12 years ago, which was a big shift in the central valley where they're surrounded by large conventional farms. Now they're certified organic and span 35 acres. Ginger's daughter is studying at Harvard to continue the family business.

"You Should Know unless olives say they are raw, then they probably are not. modern olives are heat-canned or chemically cooked with lye, aka caustic soda or draino, to breakdown the plant cellulose rapidly and to kill any pathogens, killing the healthful bacteria and enzymes at the same time. Even most salt-brined olives are treated with lye; and since lye is sodium hydroxide, olive producers do not have to iist lye on the label. Moreover the most prevalent salt in california olive industry is solar salt or water softerner salt, reclaimed from manufacturing salts and solar evaporated. not sea salt at all. "

After laboring in the construction of the transcontinental railroad over Donner Summit, he was employed by a farm in Lindsay where he developed expertise in growing oranges and strawberries. By 1921 he owned his first parcel of farmland. After Shotaro's son,Yukio, graduated from UCLA with a degree in business accounting,Yukio and his wife Yonki joined the family farming business, and managed it together for 47 years. Yonki passed away in 2003. To continue the tradition of farming within the Hamada family, Yukio recently transferred the ownership of the farm to his children. Although they are active in its day-to-day operations, Yukio has retained his role as farm manager.
