Summary
There was no caption card for this image in the FSA/OWI shelflist.
Title provided by Cathy Rundell, descendant of the Dimotakis family, owners of the farm in 1938.
George, youngest child of William and Mary Dimotakis, was born 9 April 1933 in Santa Cruz, Ca. As of 2010 he, his wife, and one daughter reside on this family farm. The Dimotakis family farm was virtually self-sufficient and grew a variety of fruits: figs, apricots, peaches, loquats, dates, oranges, lemons, limes, mulberries, melons and grapes; vegetables and nuts: peas, beans, zucchini, avocados, olives, pecans, walnuts, almonds. It also included a functioning olive oil plant, dairy, and aviary, and livestock, and there was an outdoors wood-burning oven for bread baking; and they kept bees for gathering honey. Most weekends there was a social gahtering around food and drink that often included a goat or lamb rotating on a spit. (Source: Cathy Rundell, 2010.)
