Fruitilicious Farm is a partnership of Zea Sonnabend and Terence Welch, both with many years of experience with organic fruit farming and related organic agriculture. We farm two parcels of land in Watsonville/Corralitos, totalling 16 acres. One orchard is mature apple trees on standard rootstocks and the other is young diverse fruit trees and bushes that are 1 to 3 years old.

Simply put, we make sure that the best fruits and vegetables from around the world make their way to North American tables. We accomplish this by partnering with the best growers and working with produce buyers to streamline the complex transaction of bringing products to the market.

Our company owns and manages 7,600 acres and operated 8,000 sq. ft. of packing facilities. We handle all varieties of pears, cherries, and asparagus from the major growing regions of Central and Northern California and Oregon. Innovation has always been a pivotal role in the success of our company and continues to drive us as we pioneer new ways to serve international markets with the finest produce on the planet.

Our farm boasts hundreds of acres in production - including 160 acres of organic pears and apples. We believe in sustainable framing practices and ensure that our land will remain healthy and productive for generations to come.
