Our Story

In addition to our vision for excellent agricultural services, another dream has come to life over the past couple of years through our expansion into organic produce processing and distribution. In the Fall of 2020, our family built both the processing warehouse and business office on the farm property. Each harvest of fresh produce is hand-picked from local growers, carefully inspected, and re-packaged for deliveries nationwide.

Dickinson Family Farms is not just a name; we are fourth-generation farmers with great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, and grandchildren all involved in farming operations and fruit sales. We take pride in what we do and how we do it. This is much more than a business; it is an extension of our family and a long tradition of family values rooted in hard work, honesty, integrity, and our faith as followers of Jesus Christ. When you eat a piece of fruit from us, you can taste the difference. All our fruit is organically grown, hand-picked, and hand-sorted without the use of machinery. Our well-trained team members sort and grade the fruit, ensuring only the best quality produce is delivered. They are encouraged to eat the fruit they sort, appreciating the variety of flavors.

Sustainability, regeneration, organic, and zero waste are terms often thrown around in farming these days. At Dickinson Family Farms, our goal is to be good stewards of the land God has given us by farming responsibly and giving back to our local community. Anything not sold or given to food ministries is composted and used to enhance the soil's microbes and carbon, provide nutrition for the trees, fortify the soil against erosion, and improve water retention. While we do not use livestock to regenerate the soil, we use animal manure from our own and other local farms, mixed with food waste, green waste, and carbon, to spread under our trees and surrounding soil. This is our way of regenerating our land, feeding our trees, and farming responsibly.

We partner with many organic farms within a 50-mile radius of our processing facility. Each farm adheres to our high standards and understands the optimal time for harvest. Like our many customers, we eagerly anticipate each varietal season. Saying goodbye to one variety can be hard, knowing we have to wait another year to taste our favorite Mandarins, Navels, or Avocados. However, this also marks the beginning of a new variety. The taste of one fruit can evoke memories of the past while offering hope and promise for the future.
