Dale Kuil loves farmer’s markets. As an almond grower in Ripon, Kuil spends his days tending the 300 acres of trees that produce the tasty nut that has exploded in popularity all over the world. So when he stands behind the table on a street in the communities that are close to his home he gets the chance to not only represent the literal fruits of his labor, but also form relationships with local people who love the fact that they get to speak to the person who grew what it is that they’re buying.
