About the orchard
Family-owned orchard known for hoshigaki, persimmons hand-peeled and massaged as they dry each fall, with hoshigaki available by mail order.
Press coverage says the land was bought in 1911 by Japanese immigrants Kitchitaro and Momi Kawano, the family held it through internment at Tule Lake, and granddaughter Chris Otow Kuratomi and her husband Tosh now run it.
