Organic FarmThe farm is ran by Francisco Tapia, Sr. , 61 and Francisco Tapia, Jr. , 28. Francisco, Sr. Is an agricultural engineer and his son, Francisco, Jr. , recently graduated from the University of Monterey with a degree in industrial process and systems. Francisco, Jr. , and his father are blessed with a growing environment that many organic producers can long for. They are situated on the coast of Sonora, a few miles inland from the Sea of Cortez. The sea moderates the extremes temperatures of the Sonoran Desert. They have over 4, 000 acres and over 90% of this land has not been farmed but set aside in its natural state for wildlife to enjoy. Their production area is surrounded with wilderness on three sides, eliminating the whitefly and viral plagues that many organic growers and conventional growers are challenged by on the West Coast of Mexico. Their water is supplied by two deep wells. The water is low in sodium and the water table is stable due to the extremely large water shed adjacent to the farm. The bounty from the Tapia farm this winter will include, Sangria watermelon, Galia and Honeydew melons, Acorn, Spaghetti and Butternut squash for this Fall and mixed melons, watermelons cucumbers and zucchini for the Spring. Sugraone and Flame grapes for the early Summer market.
