Farming is not easy, not pretty, not wildly profitable. And I had no prior experience; then, why did I even get into it? I believe I felt a connection. Plus the challenge excited me - To be a successful farmer nowadays, one has to be equal parts entrepreneur and agronomist. As I dug into it, I also found farming to be fulfilling. That's how I branched into agriculture, as the Sanskrit aphorism "Vriksho Rakshati Rakshitaha" (Trees, when protected, protect you) took on a new meaning for me.

Carpenter Almond Harvest
Nonpariel nuts on the ground at Carpenter. We like the coverage on the ground, it looks good. Once we finish shaking, the nuts will need 4 or 5 days to dry before we start sweeping.
