Organic Treat is the organic label for Mainas Farms, a California farm in the Imperial Valley. Founded by George Mainas in 1978, the farm operates over 900 acres of organic produce, including cantaloupe, watermelon, and winter vegetables. They produce some of the first spring melons in the country!

George Mainas grew up around farming communities in the Bay Area, and even though the first job he had as a kid was bailing hay, he became a certified accountant. This business background has been very helpful in keeping Mainas Farms financially healthy, and it’s one of the reasons why the organic vegetable program at Mainas Farms has doubled in size in the last six years. George Mainas also credits his success with providing consistent quality, which has kept customers happy over the years. Because the farm controls their own growing & harvesting crews, as well as their own cooling and loading facility, it allows them to closely watch the quality of their produce.

Many of you may remember the “Goldie” melon label from the past; they created the brand name “Organic Treat” a few years ago to emphasize their commitment to organic agriculture.
