The Cortez Family Farm, situated in the fields outside Santa Maria, embodies three generations of farming tradition in the Central California region. Led by Mayra and José Reyes, the farm cultivates a diverse range of vegetables including celery, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, spinach, beets, and onions, along with an assortment of berries, notably strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Established in 1990 by Mayra's father, the farm was passed down to Mayra when he retired in 2017. Choosing to honor her family's legacy, Mayra continues to steward the land under the Cortez name, preserving the heritage of agricultural excellence for future generations.
