Meet Mimi Avocado

Mimi Avocado

Welcome! I’m Mimi Holtz!
Here you’ll find stories about growing avocados and protea, recipes, and lots of adventures.
When I was in my 20’s, I moved to California
from my home state Vermont.  I’ve been living on an avocado farm for 45 years, married to the farmer
who planted the trees in 1971.
Together we’ve raised 4 children  and now we’re grandparents.    Glad to have you here!
