    In Conversation with Chris Otow Kuratomi and Tosh Kuratomi, owner-operators of Otow Orchard

    Otow Orchard 6232 Eureka Rd Granite Bay, CA 95746 916-791-1656 www.otoworchard.com In 1911,  Kitchitaro Kawanoand his wife, Momi, purchased 20 acres of land in the Rosedale Colony Tract of Loomis and named it Rosedale Farm.  After Kitchitaro's death in 1939, his widow and youngest daughter, Helen, ran the farm. During World War II, Helen and her husband, Seiichi Otow, were interned at Tule Lake Relocation Center. After the war, they returned to the farm to find that it was not in a condition to provide them an income. Seiichi opened a radio repair shop in Sacramento while reviving the orchard. The Otow family, including Seiichi, Helen, June, Christine and Wesley cared for and harvested the orchard and packed all the fruit on the farm until the 1970s. Today, Chris Otow Kuratomi and her husband, Tosh Kuratomi, respond to their customers' preferences with a much more diverse variety of fruits and vegetables. They continue to specialize in the ancient art of dried persimmons known as hoshigaki. Surrounded by development, they strive to honor their family's commitment to the farm. The orchard takes on different personalities through the seasons and continues to provide local residents with high-quality fresh food. They grow the following fruits + Vegetables: Apples: Gala Gravenstein Fuji Honeycrisp Pink Lady Reinette Simirenko Red Delicious Yellow Delicious Gala Apricots Blenheim         Fantasme Orange Red Patterson Robada Royal Royal Rosa Asian Pears Hosui Kosui Nijisseiki Okusankichi Olympic Shinko Shinseiki Ya Li Yoi Blackberries Cherries Bing Rainier Royal Lee Royal Lynn Citrus Blood Orange Clementine Mandarin Eureka Lemon Satsuma Mandarin Naval Orange Satsuma Mandarin Valencia Orange Yellow Grapefruit Figs           Black Mission Brown Turkey         Panache Garden Vegetables Basil Bitter Mellon Chard Chile Cilantro Japanese Cucumbers Japanese Eggplants Kale Lavender Mint Okra Peppers Rosemary Tomatillo Tomatoes Grapes Kyoho Red Perlette Thompson Seedless Jujube GA866 Li Sugar Cane Kiwi Mulberries Nectarines Ambre Fantasia  Flavortop Heavenly White Jade Nuts Almonds Chestnuts Pecan Walnut Olives Manzanilla Mission Sevillano Clingstone Peaches Bowen Phelps White Peaches Babcock Indian Free Nectar Saturn (donut) Silver Logan Spring Rose Sugar Lady Yellow Freestone Peaches 49er Delight Fairtime Fay Elberta Flavorcrest Frost Gene Elberta June pride Junecrest Late Alamar Loring Maycrest Muir O'henry PF 11 PF lucky 13 Q-1-8 Red haven Regina Springcrest Summerset Suncrest Pears   Bartlett Comice D'anjou Persimmon Chocolate Hachiya Fuyu Giombo Giro Hachiya Hyakume Imoto Izu Maru Nagamaru Niishimura Wase Vodka Plum Black Amber Casselman El Dorado Empress Frontier Kelsey La Roda Mariposa Red Beaut Red Roy Santa Rosa Satsuma Ume Plum Black Amber Casselman El Dorado Empress Frontier Kelsey La Roda Mariposa Red Beaut Red Roy Santa Rosa Satsuma Ume Pomegranates Ambrosia Eversweet Wonderful Quince Squash Black Futsu Butternut Squash Delicata Kabocha Red Kuri Yellow Zucchini
