A little more about mark…
Mark McBroom’s lifelong commitment to agriculture is rooted in hard work, hands-on experience, and a deep respect for the land. In recognition of his dedication and impact within the industry, he was honored as the Imperial County Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farmer of the Year—an achievement that reflects decades of leadership and service to California agriculture.
Mark began his academic journey at California Polytechnic State University, where he studied Crop Science before returning home to the Imperial Valley to support his father, David, in the hay business. Early on, he immersed himself in the day-to-day work of farming, collaborating with local growers and gaining hands-on experience in hay production—cutting, raking, and baling.
His strong work ethic and natural leadership quickly advanced him into foreman roles, including serving as an irrigation foreman in the early 1980s. Over the years, Mark has cultivated a wide variety of crops, including lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cotton, and alfalfa, building a well-rounded and practical understanding of diverse farming operations.
In 1990, Mark joined Allyn Scheu, where he discovered his enduring passion for citrus cultivation—a focus that continues to shape his work today. His experience, knowledge, and commitment to doing things the right way remain at the core of Bloom to Box, guiding the company’s approach to quality, stewardship, and long-term sustainability.
