Jamie Johansson isn’t your typical candidate. He’s a farmer who knows what it means to work hard, get his hands dirty, and provide for a family. When times were tough, Jamie dug ditches by hand to pay the bills. Those moments taught him the true value of perseverance and grit.
With nothing but passion and a dream, Jamie taught himself to farm olives and citrus, working tirelessly in the fields. In 1998, he began managing orchards in the Oroville area to fulfill contracts supplying olives to the Bay Area and has been a farmer ever since.
