If you’re a member of our SFF or if you shop our produce section, then you’ve probably eaten something wonderful grown on the Weiser Family Farm. They’ve been working the land for more than 30 years and their produce just gets better and better. They grow a variety of delicious and flavorful potatoes, and their root crops and melons are some of the best you’ll ever taste.
Weiser Family Farms began in 1977 when Sid Weiser decided to pack up the family and follow his dream of working off the land. In 1982 son Alex jumped in to assist the family in selling at local Farmers’ Markets. That’s where he encountered chefs, food-lovers, and specialty produce buyers who wanted full-flavored produce that was sustainably grown. Soon Alex began to focus on creating a bio-diverse farm dedicated to applying sustainable farming techniques. In 2001, siblings Dan and Esther left their careers and joined in to help develop the farm. Today, Weiser Family Farms grows in the Greater Bakersfield area, Tehachapi and the Lucerne Valley, cultivating delicious, heirloom produce year round.
Next time you’re in our produce section, look for their name to go with the great flavor. And now you can even put a face with it, too.
