The Jackson family began farming in England in 1813, eventually bringing their legacy across the Atlantic - first to Tennessee, then to California. George’s father, Hershel, settled the family in Kingsburg, California, where they have remained ever since. The family farming tradition is alive and well today at Kingsburg Orchards. They are the largest family owned and operated grower, packer, and shipper of stone fruit in California’s fertile San Joaquin Valley.
