The Mountain View team was founded by Randy and Ruth Ataide, Bill and Becky Janzen, and Mike and Peggy Thurlow in 1994. Having known each other for many years but never working directly together, the principals determined that there was the need for a different type of produce company to enter the marketplace. Each of the principals believed that in the modern agri-business world, the small and medium sized Growers and Packers were being dominated by corporate concerns, and that the family farm way of life were in jeopardy. The Ataide, Janzen and Thurlow families wanted to try to do something about this situation.Joining with like-minded local farmers of nectarines, peaches, plums and apricots, Mountain View broke ground on a state-of-the-art cold storage and distribution facility located in the very heart of their Growers fields. Surrounded by orchards and vineyards, this facility was intended to demonstrate the commitment of the founders to the family farms they served, and to prevent their fruit from being hauled long distances after picking for sorting, packing, storage and shipping.

Cheri's Desert Harvest was founded in 1985 by Cheri Romanoski. Preserving fresh fruits and vegetables began as a home-spun hobby which has blossomed into a national and international venture. Cheri began her business by preserving various fruits grown on her property and giving them to family and neighbors. Soon the neighbors began sending over unusual fruit grown on their own property for Cheri to preserve for them. Payment for this favor came in the way of special homemade goodies made from their own kitchens. As a result, Cheri soon learned how to make many different varieties of preserves, some of which she still continues to make for her own business today. Her line now has expanded to include specialty honeys, syrups, candy and bread mixes as well as jellies and marmalades.
