Balakian Farms of Reedley, CA is run by 3 generations of the Balakian family—Amber Balakian, her father Clarence, and grandmother Stella, and was started by Amber’s grandfather John, the son of an Armenian immigrant who was born and raised on the property. Reedley has an ideal climate for the many varieties of tomatoes and delicious stone fruits they grow. Balakian is Certified Organic, and has been incredibly generous to ExtraFood at the the Thursday and Sunday Civic Center Markets as well as the Friday Farmers’ Market in Mill Valley. We’re grateful for the generous donations of heirloom tomatoes, peaches, plums, pluots, and nectarines.
