Gilroy, CA – The family owned and operated aspect of Christopher Ranch is growing. Jason Christopher, the grandson of Christopher Ranch founder/co-owner, Don Christopher, and nephew to managing co-owner, Bill Christopher, has left the glitz of Hollywood to join the family business.
Jason graduated from Chapman University in 2006, with a degree in Film and worked in several TV commercials and independent productions upon his graduation. He also worked for DreamWorks Animation and Sony Imageworks, but the chance to come back to the community he grew up in, and the opportunity to work with his family, kept calling to him. Jason and his wife, Sylvia, who grew up in Kansas, both value the ideals of an agriculture lifestyle.
Jason is starting out in the Post-Harvest Technology division of the Ranch learning about Refrigeration and Controlled Atmosphere Storage, one of the most important areas on the Ranch. “Garlic is only harvested once a year in the summer months, so CA storage is essential for holding garlic throughout the year,” says Jason, “making it possible for us to supply our customers with fresh garlic year round.”
Jason also joins cousin, Ken Christopher (Bill’s son), as part of the active family members working at the Ranch. Christopher Ranch has been in operation since 1956, and is the premier grower, packer and shipper of fresh California Garlic in the U.S.
