California Organic Asparagus from Coastal View Produce in the Salinas Valley is a sure sign Spring is here! As the first golden rays light up the morning sky -on any given morning- you will find Ron Mondo out in the fields, meeting with supervisors and field operations managers. His is not a 9-5 job. Ron Mondo is a second generation farmer who grew up in Santa Cruz, California. Ron’s grandparents migrated from the Piedmont region of Italy known for its agricultural and wine production. Growing up in Santa Cruz, Ron was surrounded by sunny beaches and the bountiful agricultural land of the Watsonville valley. Ron learned all about being an environmental steward and protecting the land for the next generations from his father, the late John Mondo.
“One of my earliest and fondest memories, is riding in the truck with my father. We would go out and inspect the fruits of his labor. As I grew older, during the summer months, I worked in those exact same fields, learning all the basics of farming and techniques handed down from generation to generation”, states Ron Mondo.
Weather dependent, the season starts up in February and runs through July 4th. Coastal View Produce is committed to growing organic California Asparagus for generations to come.
