This week’s featured farmer is Mike Sullivan:


Churchill Orchard Manager, picker, tour guide, weeder, legal counsel, bricoleur, grafter, security guard, fruit packer, and laborer, Mike Sullivan, loves his work. After doing less physically fulfilling, psychically rewarding, and mentally engaging work, he is at home caring for avocados, Ojai Pixie Tangerines, and Kishu mandarins in Ojai, California. Mike works with owners Jim Churchill and Lisa Brenneis, who continue to make the serious business of farming a fun and interesting venture for him. Today’s program was brought to you by Heritage Foods USA.



“My tasks are wide and varied. I did all the pruning, which is crazy considering I don’t have a background in this.” [07:00]
