JV Farms Organic was founded in 2012 in the renowned Salinas Valley by Vic Smith and Israel Morales. From the outset, the company was built on a deep respect for the land and a commitment to sustainability. As stewards of the environment, the JV Farms Organic team recognizes that the soil, water, and air are the fundamental resources that make it possible to grow fresh, high-quality produce. This appreciation for nature is the driving force behind every decision, from farming practices to resource management.
In 2018, Vic Smith acquired Triangle Farms, an established and renowned vegetable grower and supplier founded in 1986 as part of his long term vision to expand the company’s presence in the Salinas Valley. By acquiring Triangle Farms, the company expanded into the conventional market and established a year-round growing program with closer proximity to key customers, enhancing operational efficiency and meeting the growing demand for fresh produce.
In 2019, JV Farms Organic further expanded its reach with the acquisition of Scott Anthony Farms, a move that allowed the company to extend its operations into the Southern Salinas Valley. This strategic expansion positioned JV Farms Organic as a key player in the region, solidifying its ability to provide a wide variety of high-quality crops throughout the entire year.
