Hasegawa (Tamai)

Glen Hasegawa is a third-generation strawberry farmer in Oxnard and considers himself a steward of the land. He and his family enjoy what they do and want to preserve our farmland

What started out as a small, 15-acre farm has now grown to 600 acres. Most of his family is in the business and the next generation is ready to take over in the years to come.

Glen contributes to the California Strawberry Scholarship Fund and personally assists some of his field workers with their childrens college tuition. He also lends a hand by purchasing books and other necessities related to school costs. Giving back to the community is as important to him as growing strawberries.
