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.
