Owners of Balakian Farms are members of the Balakian Family. In the 1990’s, the farm transitioned to organic practices, and began growing heirloom tomatoes. In the summer, you can find our produce and products at the Bay Area farmer’s markets and several retailers. Farming is more than an occupation for Balakian Farms: it is a way of life. As a fourth-generation farmer, I set out to create healthy and tasty products. Using my grandma Stella’s Armenian recipe passed down through generations, we created our line of Organic Blended Heirloom Tomatoes. Balakian Farms is bringing a new freshness and sweetness to every kitchen around the world!
