A Family Tradition

Teixeira Farms

Rooted in quality, dedicated to sustainable agriculture, and delivering the finest produce from our fields to your table in Santa Maria, California.

Our History

A Legacy Built on Family & Hard Work

Four generations of agricultural know-how and community stewardship.

The Roots of Our Tradition

The legacy of Teixeira Farms began with the marriage of J.C. Teixeira and Elsie Gracia in 1937. Grounded in a deep respect for the land, J.C. passed down generations of agricultural wisdom to his five sons, leading to the official incorporation of Teixeira Farms in 1970.

The Teixeira Brothers

Known throughout the region for their hands-on leadership, the brothers each drove a vital pillar of the family enterprise:

  • Norman: Cooler and shop operations
  • Allan: Crop growing and agronomy
  • Marvin: Ground preparation
  • Glenn: Sales and distribution
  • Dean: Harvesting management

Our People & Community

During peak seasons, Teixeira Farms and its related companies employed over 1,000 people. That close-knit "family" feeling extended to every member of the team.

To support educational advancement, the farm established an annual scholarship fund for employees and their children, alongside a longevity program recognizing service milestones spanning up to 40+ years.

Promoting from Within

Embracing a true "do-it-yourself" philosophy, Teixeira Farms has always believed in rewarding proven hard work and dedication. Many long-term team members—including multi-generational family units working side by side—have worked their way up the ladder into key management positions, carrying our standard of excellence forward.
