Avila and Sons Farms | Scetched Wheel Barrow

Our Story

Coming from a Central Valley Portuguese background; family, faith and farming are in our blood.

​

As a fourth generation San Joaquin Valley farmer, David has grown everything from cotton to fruit, and even popcorn on the cob! Naede, our family matriarch, grew up farming with her family in the Azores, Portugal.  Her father raised cattle and grew fruits and vegetables necessary for their own food.

​

In 1969, David began his own independent farm, growing a variety of fruits and nuts, primarily pistachios and apricots. When we married in 1974, we combined each of their own family’s farming techniques and created what is now Avila and Sons Farms, teaching our four sons our traditions and love for the land, continuing another generation of farming.

​

In 1983, our family decided to take a new turn in farming; we wanted to bring people fresh products that were ethically produced, so we began to sell our products to the public at farmers’ markets. Today, the Avila family meets our customers weekly and personally sell them a variety of delicious specialty dried fruits, jams, nuts, and butters.

​

Our family looks forward to sharing our wondrous bounty with you, your family, and friends. Please follow us on social media and visit us at farmers markets throughout Orange County and up the Central California Coast.

​

Thank you

David & Naede

Like branches on a tree...we all grow in different directions,but our roots remain the same
