A 10-acre, certified organic jojoba farm owned by Donna and Larry Charpied and featured on California's Gold. The surrounding valley is filled with failed jojoba farms used as tax breaks when the US Government subsidized jojoba oil as a better alternative to sperm whale oil. Until the passage of the Endangered Species Act, over 55 million gallons of sperm whale oil were imported into the US every year.
