Introduction	Farming is in my roots. My dad and grandfather were farmers in the San Joaquin Valley of California. I was raised on the farm, and spent a few years actively farming before the allure of college and business took hold. Yet the fascination with tilling the soil never quite left... On our farm, we raised alfalfa, corn, pomegranate and quince (huh?) trees, along with other field crops. Today, I grow lettuce, peas, beans, squash, turnips, corn, and of course... TOMATOES! Instead of riding on a tractor plowing a field these days, I now squat beside my 4 x 8 redwood planter boxes! I live in the beautiful Inland Northwest with my lovely wife and our five children. We live between Coeur d'Alene Idaho and Spokane Washington. Lakes, mountains, and trees abound. The summers are mild and dry, and the winters can get a little cold, but all in all, this is truly God's country!
