For over 100 years and five generations, the Burroughs have farmed in California. Today Ward & Rosie and their family are innovative leaders in organic farming, sustainability, and biodiversity. In 2002 their daughter Benina began to oversee the almond side of the operation.   In 2014 the Burroughs teamed up with Voyager Foods to bring their organic almonds directly to customers world-wide.
