| In Conversation with Chris Otow Kuratomi and Tosh Kuratomi, owner-operators of Otow Orchard | 15 Feb 2023 | 01:24:44 | |
Otow Orchard In 1911, Kitchitaro Kawanoand his wife, Momi, purchased 20 acres of land in the Rosedale Colony Tract of Loomis and named it Rosedale Farm. After Kitchitaro's death in 1939, his widow and youngest daughter, Helen, ran the farm. During World War II, Helen and her husband, Seiichi Otow, were interned at Tule Lake Relocation Center. After the war, they returned to the farm to find that it was not in a condition to provide them an income. Seiichi opened a radio repair shop in Sacramento while reviving the orchard. The Otow family, including Seiichi, Helen, June, Christine and Wesley cared for and harvested the orchard and packed all the fruit on the farm until the 1970s. Today, Chris Otow Kuratomi and her husband, Tosh Kuratomi, respond to their customers' preferences with a much more diverse variety of fruits and vegetables. They continue to specialize in the ancient art of dried persimmons known as hoshigaki. Surrounded by development, they strive to honor their family's commitment to the farm. The orchard takes on different personalities through the seasons and continues to provide local residents with high-quality fresh food. They grow the following fruits + Vegetables: Apples: Apricots Asian Pears Blackberries Cherries Citrus Figs Garden Vegetables Grapes Jujube Kiwi Mulberries Nectarines Nuts Pears Persimmon Plum Plum Pomegranates Quince Squash | |||
