Mr. Dick Tanaka has been a farmer and a environmental steward his entire life. Born into a farming family he learned how to care for the land at an early age. After graduating high school and serving in the US Army he joined his two brothers to create Tanaka Farms--one of the largest produce farms in Colorado. Dick is one of the most respected farmers in the western region--a tribute to his kindness, willingness to help others, and treat everyone like family. It has been said that the hardship of being a farmer can be seen on his face, you can see the love of agriculture in his eyes.
