About Alhambra Valley
Alhambra Valley’s Mediterranean climate is perfect for producing Italian-style oil from Leccino and Frantoio olives.
Among the oldest grape growing areas in California, the Alhambra Valley is becoming an important new olive growing region.
Tucked into an agricultural area among several Contra Costa County cities, the valley’s soils, abundant sunshine and rolling hills make this an ideal olive growing region.

About the Farmer
Tom Powers, who has lived his whole life in California, currently lives and farms in the beautiful Alhambra Valley of Contra Costa County, California. Tom is a retired attorney who spent sixteen years as a Contra Costa County Supervisor. He and his lovely wife Donna and have three grown children.
Although Tom was trained as an attorney, he comes from a long line of farmers on both sides of his parents’ families. On his mother’s side, his grandfather, Thomas W. Mabrey, settled in 1911 in the Imperial Valley of California on the Mexican border to raise cotton.
He then established a dairy farm that supplied milk to the Golden State Creamery. Tom’s father’s parents, Thomas W. Powers and Ida Powers, began growing oranges in Florida in 1910.
