From the Grove is the quarterly magazine of the California Avocado Commission, and it isn’t an exaggeration to say that they have profiled many of the best avocado growers in the world. I can’t claim to be included based on merit, but since there aren’t a lot of avocado growers on social media, I eventually got noticed.
My hat is off to my Dad, Don Petty, and our long time foreman Carlos Ortega, whose years of work made this recognition possible.
