Greeting From The Farm!

This is Scott Beylik. I'm here in one of our tomato green houses on our family farm in Fillmore California.

In my hands are 5 varieties of summer squash. We love to grow (and eat) summer squash.

As you can see, it's another beautiful day here in Fillmore. I never get tired of it.

Beylik Family Farms History Project Begins

foundation-pad.jpg

People we've had the pleasure to get to know over the years at farmers markets across southern California have asked us from time to time about how Beylik Family Farms began. We've been talking about making a history page on our website for a long time and, well, miracles do happen. We've just began our official history page located at https://www.beylikfarms.com/history.

It may take a while to scan old photos and interview a few old times; but we plan on adding to the history page on a regular basis. We'll let you know when there's something new to see by writing a blog post about it and sharing it on social media and with people who sign up for our email list.

Which reminds me, now is a great time to signup for our email list and/or follow us on social media.

Thank you,
Scott Beylik

About QuickBooks TV Commercial, 'Backing You'
People go through the process of starting up their small businesses and opening up shop. Difficulties arise for these individuals, including dying crops on a man's farm, a broken water pipe someone is trying to mend and wet clay falling apart as a woman tries to shape it. Nevertheless, the small-business owners persevere. As a cover of the song "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" plays, they find ways to improve their businesses and check the QuickBooks smartphone app to monitor their progress. QuickBooks says that the largest workforce works for themselves, so it works for them. Learn more about QuickBooks at https://quickbooks.intuit.com/
