I recently had the honor of photographing a group of farmers whose families go back generations on the Old Mission Peninsula. As a group, they sent along a message to the OMP community. Read on…
Since our families planted crops in the 1850s, we have weathered many storms by Mother Nature and markets. We’ve made choices and leaned into the headwinds.
We embrace all the agricultural entrepreneurs, including those who launched and developed the vineyards and wineries over the past 50 years, becoming a huge cornerstone of OMP farming.
We look forward to a future when farming is developed outside the courtroom and Town Hall.

LOVELY!
These wonderful farming families are the heart and soul of our community. I am so thankful they have managed to weather all the storms! Great photo of great people!
Glad to see some recognition of these salt of the earth people. Without our farmers we would cease to be. Sadly the list of names used to include even more.
In the name of the Pratt family I totally agree.
My husband’s great-great-grandfather was Jerome Pratt. Are you part of that branch of Pratts?
