The Fruits of Our Journey video, as part of our Meet Your Farmer series, takes viewers through the Kropp family’s unique story. Starting with a personal loss that led them to research the dangers and problems caused by conventional agriculture, they turned to organic practices, which helped them heal their bodies, souls, and land. They ultimately became stewards of the land and watched their blessings multiply. Their journey has culminated in something greater than themselves—they’ve created lasting change through organic farming and by providing organic fruit that nourishes others. 

By replenishing the land, removing synthetic pesticides, and putting into practice organic land stewardship principles, Kris and Tami Kropp witnessed their farm flourish, they saw bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects return, they watched their children grow up playing and collecting fruit from their groves, and they saw the positive impact in their family, their workers, and their community. To this day, they continue to take pride in knowing they provide healthy, organic fruit to so many people across the country. That touches them more than anything, and that’s what The Fruits of Our Journey is all about. It’s a story of love, purpose, and finding meaning and fulfillment in working with nature, not against it.
