Del Mar Packing Buys Wilson and Harcourt Lands for Lettuce
Del Mar Packing Company of Oxnard buys the 70 acre Wilson property and the five acre Harcourt parcel on Flag Is Up Farms to grow lettuce and cucumbers in the Lompoc Valley. Mike Shannon says the acquisition diversifies crops and fortifies against market dips, with lettuce and cucumbers planned for spring planting and an extended season from the Harcourt land. Del Mar retains an option on part of the Wilson acreage and expects 1,500 valley acres in production next year including Union Sugar property.
