Chaffin Farms

Crop production is the core offering, alongside farm management and custom harvesting. The farm uses integrated pest management, first relying on natural predators and discussing chemical options when needed. Its crop approach includes inspections by licensed pest control and certified crop advisers, with emphasis on natural production. Irrigation management is another specialty. A solar-powered weather station provides information used to determine irrigation timing, while an automated surface irrigation system modernizes gravity-fed watering. Chaffin Farms produces agricultural products and works to limit environmental impacts while preserving its land for continued family farming. The operation is based in Blythe, California, and has been farming since 1946.
