The feature recognizes Crockett Family Farms for genetics including Tangie, Strawberry Banana, Clementine, 24K, Strawberry Fields, and Citrus Sap, while taking readers behind the scenes of the family's Central Valley farming operation.
Sue Surabian (Sue Carlton), also known as Ranchera Mami, is featured as Director of Marketing and Cultivator for Crockett Family Farms and co-owner of Ranchera Familia alongside Crocquito. Sue also contributed photography to the California Leaf feature.
