Like Steinbeck’s migrant workers finding their way west in search of opportunity, so too did the Tanimura family arrive in the Salinas Valley over 100 years ago – in their case, making the journey east from Japan. Decades of hard work on the valley’s fertile farmland reaped a multi‑generational agricultural dynasty – one which, in partnership with the Antle family, became one of the Salinas Valley’s largest and most productive produce growers. That work continues today from T&A’s Spreckels headquarters, surrounded by the bountiful fields from which grew a distinctly American success story.
