Producer

First a dairy farmer from the Netherlands, Steve's dad, John, transitioned from cows to fruit trees in the 80's. Since a teenager, Steve has been working in agriculture, farming and selling fruit. He now lives part time in Southern California as well as part time at the farm. He and Robin have four children all of whom live in Southern California and often can be found working in a market. When not surfing, Steve can be found enjoying his family.

Passionate about people, farmers markets have been a joy for Steve. Growing organic fruit was not a sales tactic, but rather came out of a heart for people having the best. Kind and hard working, he continues to provide quality produce to his customers rain or shine. Often found in their backyards with a new fruit cutting and clippers in hand after a market, he loves to sit and hear stories over a cup of coffee or lunch. He is a one of a kind man.
