Juan Cisneros immigrated to the U. S. from Jalisco, Mexico when he was just 16 years old in 1982 for a chance to have a better life and more opportunities.
He started working in the fields of Santa Maria, California in 1986. Shortly, in 1989 he started farming a small plot of 8 acres of strawberries.
Each year he’s increased his acreage more and more. He expanded to growing squash, chili peppers, bush berries, and peas as well.
As Juan Cisneros’ passion grew for farming, so did the business. His biggest motivation has been his kids. Better Produce Inc was established in 2006.
