The intent of this program is to identify and recognize farms throughout
Fresno County which have been in existence for 100 years or more.
A centennial farm is any farm which...
- Has been owned by a member or members of the same family related by
blood or marriage for substantially all of the 100 year period prior
to application. The property shall have been devoted to agricultural
use for such 100 year period and the present owner or owners are related
by blood or marriage to the owner of the property 100 years ago and
engage in managing the farm.
- In the event the present owner is a corporation, the majority stock
of such corporation must be owned by the person or persons related by
blood or marriage to the owner of the property 100 years ago.
- Minor additions or deletions to the property during the 100 year period
shall not disqualify it.
- A farm includes all land under one management arrangement which has
at least $1,000 worth of agricultural production or sales or expenses
for production of agricultural products during the most recent calendar
year.
