Some are born into it, while others, like city kid Rodney Wells, jumped into it as a second career.<\/p>\n<p>Wells, the owner of Rancho de Rodney, a certified organic farm in southwest Fresno, grew up in Compton where his only connection to farming was a vegetable garden his father tended. But Wells wouldn\u2019t make the city his home for long. At age 17 he joined the Navy as a way to escape a dismal future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got out of there before I needed to choose which gang I need to be in,\u201d Wells says. \u201cIn those days you either chose what gang to join or you ended up on a curb somewhere and none of those options appealed to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wells excelled in the Navy. At the peak of his 30-year career he supervised about 200 men as command master chief of the USS Pogy submarine.<\/p>\n<p>After retirement, Wells and his wife Sherril, a lawyer, settled in Southern California. They moved to Fresno eight years ago when Sherril Wells became a judicial attorney with the Superior Court. After three decades in the Navy, it wasn\u2019t easy for Rodney Wells to find a job that was challenging. He tried working at a hardware store and the Internal Revenue Service. He took several agriculture-related classes at Reedley College, where developed an affinity for farming.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI began to see that food and farming were going to be critical in our futures,\u201d Rodney Wells says. \u201cAnd farming is no easy task. I learn something new all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodney Wells started off with an herb garden that Sherril helped develop about four years ago. Wells admits his first few times selling at a downtown farmers market were not successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a card table and no tent or shade and it was the middle of the summer,\u201d he says. \u201cIt was pretty awful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The couple learned from other farmers about marketing and choosing what sells.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Rancho de Rodney is producing more than 120 types of herbs and vegetables on about 4 acres. The farm produces several varieties of lettuce, carrots, turnips, kale, heirloom tomatoes, bell peppers, hot peppers, fennel, thyme, mint and basil.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe grow what you can\u2019t find at Save Mart,\u201d Wells says with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>Rancho de Rodney sells at the Kaiser Permanente farmers market, 7300 N. Fresno St., on Wednesdays from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>Avid cook Sherril Wells encourages the farm\u2019s customers to experiment with the herbs and offers several recipes at the Kaiser market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you start using fresh herbs, it gives you so much flavor to whatever you are cooking,\u201d she says. \u201cAnd I think our customers appreciate a few suggestions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although the couple are relatively new to the Kaiser market, they already are gaining customers.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Mediati, of North Fork, was buying fennel from Wells recently. He and others are excited about the variety and quality of the farm\u2019s produce.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is about the best that you can buy,\u201d Mediati says.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fresnobee.com\/2015\/02\/24\/4393891_former-navy-sailor-starts-new.html?rh=1\">Link to story<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Bob Rodriguez Every farmer has a story about how they got into agriculture.
