A Day in the Life of an Avocado Farmer

Ever wondered what it takes to bring a perfectly ripe Holmes Grown avocado to your plate? From the early days of planting to the moment it’s picked, discover the care, patience, and dedication that make every bite wholesome and full of flavor.

Ever wondered what it’s like to run an avocado farm? Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at a typical day on our 10-acre grove in North San Diego County. From early morning checks on the trees to harvesting, sorting, and preparing boxes for our customers, every day is a mix of hard work and deep appreciation for nature.

We’ll also share how our boys are growing up surrounded by the farm, learning the values of responsibility, patience, and connection to the land. Farming is more than work — it’s our way of life, and we’re excited to share it with you.

Hi, I'm Becca!

I'm the wife and mom behind Holmes Grown USA, so while Kirk, my husband, is usually out in the grove, I'm in the kitchen cooking up the avocados, and in the garden growing supplementary food. Most of our blogs and social media content that you see is me, too. I'd love to connect, please drop your email below!
