Alvarez Organic Farms has been in the agriculture business for well over 30 years. In those same years much of the small, environmentally friendly family farms have morphed into large-scale agribusinesses, without regard on the adverse environmental effects. Being certified organic for over 20 years, sustainable agriculture is one thing that the Alvarez Family has embedded into their farming tradition. Biodiversity is something common in organic agriculture, but at Alvarez Organic Farms we heavily promote it, by specializing in over 200 varieties of peppers and 300 different varieties of vegetables, we built our own level.
We currently farm about 80 acres that are divided between four land parcels. Each land parcel is certified organic. Our water supply comes from the Yakima River, provided by Sunnyside Valley Irrigation. In 2014 we installed a state of the art drip irrigation system that has dramatically improved our water conservation efforts.
