Chicano-Owned“Hopefully with what we're doing is opening a few doors to the possibilities that anyone can do this,” states Jr. “And show our children that, if their grandparents with little they had, were able to accomplish this with the opportunity that they were given, they will be able to accomplish great things.”

“I want to show people that the American dream is still viable, that with a little bit of hard work, luck and family, you can accomplish a lot of things,” shares Junior. I want to show our children how much their grandparents were able to accomplish, even though they started with so little. My parents worked so hard. They took the opportunity that they were given and they will be able to accomplish great things.”
Junior continued, “My dream for me and for my family is to continue to grow our farm. Right now, as far as we know, we are the only Chicano-owned hop farm. I don't think it will be like that forever. Hopefully Loza Farms will inspire others and show them the possibility that anyone can do this.” When asked if he had any advice for others, Junior stated “whatever you're thinking about doing, be willing to grow and to evolve with your everyday situations. You cannot be afraid to try something new. You have to keep moving forward." For more information on Loza Farms, follow their company on social media @lozafarms |
