| BIOGRAPHY |
The Machado family has contributed greatly to the community life and activities of Elk Grove, Franklin
and Laguna as well as to the agricultural industry, the local schools and the businesses of the area.
The Machado Family farmed on the same land for the past five decades and took every opportunity to give
back to the community. The dairy offered stable jobs for adults, provided 4-H programs for high school
students, and was an excellent field trip location for elementary and preschool students.
