#6: For the Love of Avocado Farming

Update: 2021-07-29

Description

Growing the perfect avocado is no easy feat. So, what does it take to manage a farm and keep the trees producing bountiful fruit? In this episode, we sit down with 5th generation avocado farmer from California, Scott Cummings, about the process of growing avocados and his lifestyle in the groves. We speak about the 2021 California season, manual labor, water and irrigation, how input costs affect the end-price for consumers, and how his avocados ultimately make it around the world!
