The current featured grower is Dan Pinkerton. Mr. Pinkerton has been a grower for more than forty years as well as a military man for many years. After completing his military service he longed for a new way to give back. "Little did he know he would find it in the hills of California. Armed with a good old fashioned ‘can do’ attitude, he and his wife purchased a hillside of lifeless sagebrush. Day by day, they tended, nurtured, and transformed their rugged land into a lush landscape teeming with wonderful California Avocados. Today Dan is proud to say he now serves his country, one serving at a time" according to the platform.</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href="http://www.avocado.org/dan-pinkerton" target="_new"> California Avocado Commission </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
