Ranch History
Ignacio and Casamira Sanchez purchased and planted their first 6 acre farm in 1989 with a farmer's market in mind. Twin Girls was certified organic in 1999, and now owns more than 420 acres of land. The farmer's markets were the starting foundation for their business and Ignacio and Casamira now take pleasure in seeing their customers' reactions to new varieties and products.
Practices
Certified organic in 1999 by Quality Assurance International, the farm is fertilized with foliar fertilizer.
Pesticides
Twin Girls Farm plants disease-resistant varieties, oils and phermone-disruption as pest control.
