About Levi
I'm Levi, a Southern California native, third-generation avocado grower, and founder of Levi's Organic Avocados. I grew up around my family's ranch, but spent most of my time training and competing as a junior tennis player. As an athlete, I became more aware of how food affects performance and recovery, which made me curious about where food comes from and how it's grown.
After an injury during my freshman year of high school gave me time away from tennis, I started spending more time at the farm and learning how the business really works. That's when I saw an opportunity to bring our organic avocados directly to consumers through a more modern, direct-to-consumer approach.
That's what Levi's Organic Avocados is all about. I'm excited to build a direct-to-consumer business that connects our fruit with people all over the country, introduces customers to different avocado varieties and their health benefits, and highlights why sustainable farming matters. More than anything, this is about creating a closer connection between the food we grow and the people enjoying it.
Community
My involvement with the community began before this business did.
I volunteer with Safe Passage Youth Foundation, a local organization that supports youth and families through food distributions, mentoring, and community programs. Volunteering at their monthly food distribution events where thousands of pounds of food are shared with families - made the issue of food insecurity in our area very real to me. Seeing that need firsthand shaped how I thought about this business. As Levi's Organic Avocados took shape, it felt important for it to be connected to the same community I was serving. That led to a partnership with Safe Passage, where for every order placed, at least one pound of avocados is donated to help provide fresh food to local families.
I continue to volunteer at food distribution events and stay involved with Safe Passage as the partnership grows. The goal is simple: to help provide fresh, healthy food to local families and support the work Safe Passage is already doing in the community.
