Our All-American tomato harvest is underway

7/14/2025

 
We started harvesting our processing tomatoes here in California's sunny Sacramento Valley. These tomatoes go straight to the cannery and are processed within a few short hours of being mechanically harvested. Rominger Brothers Farms is proud to grow All-American tomatoes that will be enjoyed by people around the world.

Sunflowers add beauty to the rural landscape

Sunflowers are at peak bloom and they don't get any prettier! The honeybees are buzzing around the field, pollinating the flowers. This crop is destined for sunflower oil production.

Safflowers are blooming

6/23/2025

 
We are growing orange safflowers that will be processed into natural dyes. Natural dyes are being used more and more in food products as well as by the clothing industry. The crop is in full bloom right now and as the plants mature, the flowers will turn reddish orange. In past years, we have grown safflowers with yellow flowers for oilseed production.

Sheep Shearing Season

2/26/2025

 
It's the time of year when the sheep at Rominger Brothers Farms get their wool sheared. Clockwise from upper left, wooly sheep are lined up to enter the sheep-shearing trailer. The shearing crew works quickly and efficiently to shear all the sheep. A freshly sheared Rambouillet sheep is ready to rejoin the flock. Ernie Fairchild, owner of the Buhl, Idaho-based Fairchildshearing LLC, and his crew travel throughout a half-dozen Western states to shear commercial sheep flocks and load up the fleeces for processing. The wool shorn from sheep at Rominger Brothers Farms will be milled at the Oregon-based Pendleton Woolen Mills and made into shirts, blankets and other wool products.
