Romaine Heart Harvest
Tanimura & Antle
Partner Growers for 20 Years

This field of Romaine was planted by Tanimura & Antle using the new plant tape machine. Plant tape is a combination of peat moss and vermiculite between two layers of a tape-like material. Seeds are sowed into the tape through a small opening. The transplanting machine is able to pull the tape out of the tray, cut it around each plant, and plant it in the soil, all with great accuracy.

Fresh Spinach Harvest
Dobler & Sons

Franscioni & Griva’s success comes from long-term relationships with  great companies. Michael Griva states, “our family has always valued long term relationships. I remember when the fresh spinach industry took hold, the Dobler family was there, and we were fortunate to be one of their growers.”

Dry Bean Harvest
North American Seed Company

Franscioni & Griva still grows dry beans today. These beans will become seed for string bean farmers around the world.
