Farming is deep in Vernon Peterson’s family heritage. In 1893 Vernon’s great grandfather came to the United States from Sweden and started farming 10 acres of stone fruit. Today, Vernon farms 200 acres, and is proudly the organic grower for Mountain View and Summeripe. Vernon’s favorite fruit is a Mariposa plum, or a Zee Lady peach used to make homemade ice cream! Vernon is a true success story, through all the storms of life, he knows that he is supposed to farm. He certainly enjoys farming, and hopes that you enjoy the fruits of his labor as much as he does!
