Bill Horton and Glenna Berry Horton placed 104 acres of their avocado ranch in a permanent conservation easement to guarantee that most of this scenic and productive avocado ranch will remain undeveloped in perpetuity. Bill’s grandparents founded the ranch and two succeeding generations have grown lemons and now avocados on the ranch. Today, the Persoon family owns the ranch and continues farming operations, growing avocadoes and other crops. 

A portion of Franklin Trial runs through the easement-protected land while the rest of the property remains private.
