Drought. Heat. Hail. Thin more, thin less. Pick on Saturday, Pick on Sunday. Get the fruit when it's ready - not when it's convenient. California weather is full of surprises - Leo Makes the adjustments.
Less Is More
A licensed PCA (Pest Control Advisor) for 38 years, Leo is an authority on IPM (Integrated Pest Management)and embraces the concept that in chemicals - the less you use the better off you'll be.
The Balakian family is in the farming business for the long haul. Incorporating pruning into the soil rather than adding nitrogen. Pheromones and IPM rather than heavy pesticides. A family business that will be passed on to the next generation, not sold for a fast profit.
