In an attempt to have better control over the growing, packing and shipping of his pears Ken Barr made the decision in 1989 to buy his own packing shed.Ken decided to leave the comfortable umbrella of a grower cooperative and take on the responsibility of packing and shipping his pears. A small shed owned by the Kelseyville Packing Company was purchased and Adobe Creek Orchards was born. It was not Kens' intent to run a commercial packing business but instead to have control of the way his fruit was packed and shipped. Ken felt that by planting the orchards, raising the trees, taking care of the fruit, picking the fruit and then having control of the packing and shipping put him in a very special and unique position. He was and still is one of the very few who can lay claim to this accomplishment. In 1990, with diversification on his mind, Ken joined forces with his brother, John Barr and business partner Broc Zoller and formed Adobe Creek Packing Co., Inc. These three men each came to the business with their own special talents. Ken controlled the orchards and is one the of the best pear growers in the county, John who had been the general manager for Kelseyville Packing for 20 years had the mechanical knowledge of running packing sheds, and Broc, known as the Pear Doctor, trained as a plant pathologist, runs his own business as a pest control advisor, knew the science of pears. With their combined knowledge they knew they could do things right.
