My parents-in-law moved here in the mid 1990’s. In those years you could see the chemicals, applied to the citrus trees, hover over the valley like a fog. Some of the local doctors blame the chemicals for increasing allergic problems, high bronchitis rates and even considered it dangerous to pregnant women. We were threatening the beautiful valley that sustains us! We decided that someone had to start something in order for change to happen and so have started to convert our production to organic as from 2000.
