The Tanaka family.

Farmer Tanaka, Shirley, and Farmer Kenny

Farmer Glenn Tanaka, his wife, Shirley, and their son, Farmer Kenny, own and operate Tanaka Farms, which is an authentic working farm. Our 30-acre farm produces fruits & vegetables that supplies our produce stand, provides for our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, and our various educational tours. You will find Farmer Tanaka, Shirley, and Kenny at the farm, pretty much every single day, checking on the crops, answering questions, and talking with customers.
