 George is the son of a migrant farm worker. In 1971 he bought a farm west of Ontario, Oregon, and little by little over the years the farm grew. Today,


George and Lupe built their farm while working full-time at another onion packing warehouse. He worked at the packing warehouse during the day and went home to work on the farm in the evenings. He worked at the packing warehouse for more than 20 years.

Rodriguez Farms was a family operation, besides mother Lupe, who did a lot of the field work during the day; there was also the help of their three children, George Jr., Monica and Eddie. Today the farming operation is managed by George Jr. and Eddie.
