KVIE PBS Documentary - “Return to the Soil”

In Spring 2025, I was asked to share our history with PBS KVIE (Sacramento) as part of a documentary on Japanese American farmers.  The conversation led to this 25 minute documentary Return to the Soil. It includes our Munemitsu Farm history and an interview with Sylvia Mendez, along with several other Japanese American farmer stories in California.  The broadcast premiered Wednesday, May 27, 2026. Many thanks to KVIE PBS Sacramento for sharing this history! You’ll see our history in the first half of the film, but keep watching to hear about the Japanese American orchards and winery!
