Our Story

Weiser Family Farms began in 1977 when Sid Weiser, a chemistry teacher and counsellor at Garfield High School in East Los Angeles, packed up the family and followed his dream of becoming a farm. Sidney and his wife Raquel laid down roots in Tehachapi, California. There, they learned to tend to the fruit trees . . . apples, peaches, and pears. In the ensuing years, they acquired farmland in other locations where they branched out into various fruits, vegetables, and flowers. 

In 1982 their son Alex jumped in to assist the family in selling at local Farmers’ Markets. He encountered chefs, the public, and speciality produce buyers who wanted seasonal, high-quality, and superior-tasting produce. Listening to this input, Alex began to focus on creating a bio-diverse farm dedicated to applying sustainable farming techniques. His overriding desire was to supply people with unique fruits and vegetables at their peak, rather than picked for commercial usage. Today, Weiser Family Farms grows in the Greater Bakersfield area, Tehachapi and the Lucerne Valley, cultivating a tapestry of high-quality produce year-round.
