Small Business Spotlight: Heirloom Farms [Video]

TULARE COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) — From start to finish, Kaitlin and Brandon Martin make a Fall porch setup look like a breeze.

“I enjoy decorating, he enjoys farming — it brought our two loves together, and that’s how we started,” Kaitlin said.

The work begins well before they make it to your porch.

“We plant a little bit early because people seem like they want pumpkins mid-September,” Brandon said.

Located five miles outside of Woodville in Tulare County, Heirloom Farms grows 10 varieties of pumpkins on two and a half acres.

“We started off very small, and it was basically just for us and our families,” Kaitlin said.

As more families posted their picture-perfect porches, so began a budding business outside of their day jobs.

“It’s enjoyable seeing from start to finish, the fruits of your labor, your actual product being used,” Brandon said.

Kaitlin is an educator at Liberty, while Brandon manages a dairy.
