The Klassen family came to the United States from the Ukraine. Don Klassen is now the third generation to farm the same land that his grandfather initially purchased. The original family farm was approximately 20 acres. Don’s grandfather Eldo grew primarily raisin grapes. Don’s father gradually transitioned his acreage to tree fruit. Today Don farms over 400 acres of Summeripe peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots. Don’s favorite fruits would be the pluot and white nectarine. If he were to select just one favorite variety, it would be the Red Raspberry pluot. Don loves what he does, and hopes that his fruit can be enjoyed for years to come.
