ABOUT AgPro:
Abraham Ramirez and AJ Cavaletto are the owners of AgPro, an organic strawberry farm in the heart of California’s Central Coast. AJ and Abraham have been friends for over 15 years, but it wasn’t until 2012 when Abraham approached AJ with a business plan to grow strawberries. Abraham had extensive knowledge in growing berries and AJ has the experience in business and labor.

They secured a lease in Buellton and began growing organic strawberries together in 2014. AgPro’s strawberries are most notably marketed through the Driscoll’s brand.
