OUR STORY our roots Pacific was started in the late 1980’s by Dave Johnson and Tom Russell. Both shared a passion and a vision on how to supply the nation with quality, fresh produce. Our company’s roots were planted in Salinas, California, and within a few years of forming Pacific, our family of growing partners developed. It was then, in the 1990s, that we expanded into organic farming with a small, 320-acre ranch in Fort Ord, California. Today, our farming partnerships stretch across Central and Southern California, into Yuma and Phoenix, Arizona, and down to Mexico. We farm approximately 20,000 acres of conventional produce and 5,000 acres of organic produce, progressing every year. As our company has evolved, we integrated into different parts of the agriculture chain. Being vertically-integrated, we are involved from the ground up, ensuring that we are making good on our promise of providing the best produce to our customers. our people Dave and Tom always had plans for Pacific to run a little different than most, and from the beginning, Pacific has been an employee-owned company. Several of our key sales and management team members are decision-makers in our day-to-day operations. Pacific’s success and quality of our produce stems from the hard work and dedication of our employees - many of which have been with the company for over 20 years. We see the next generation coming in with fresh and innovative ideas, including Wils Johnson (Dave’s son), who joined the company as General Manager of the Santa Maria region. our future Tom passed away in 2017, but his and Dave’s vision that began over 30 years ago is still a part of who Pacific is today, as well as a blueprint of how we look toward the future. Through the strength of our grower partnerships, the loyalty of our employees, and the new generation joining our team, we can stay committed to supplying you with the safest, freshest, and best produce that Mother Nature can offer straight from the fields - carrying on the tradition of the vision we were founded on.
