Property History:
H.N. Hansen
Son of Danish immigrants, Hans Nicholas “Nick” Hansen was born in Benicia, California, and came to Loomis in 1892 at age eight. He grew up on his father’s ranch on Dane Colony Lane, now Leak Lane, east of town. He purchased a nearby ranch on Horseshoe Bar Road at Hansen Road and named it Magnolia Orchard. He was president of the Loomis Fruit Growers Association from 1937 to 1950.
Why Buy Organic?
Organic farming practices reduce pollution, conserve water, reduce soil erosion, increase soil fertility, and use less energy. Farming without pesticides is also better for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.
