Daughter of the Land
Betsy Chess Blanchard, author
Daughter of the Land is the story of a free-spirited child of
privilege sheltered amongst the lemon and orange groves of the Santa Clara Valley. This tale weaves both family legacy and how the author fits into the story of her pioneering ancestors. The book captivates readers and draws them into life in a small agricultural town and the Blanchard family, where pioneering methods of raising oranges and lemons gave rise to the great Limoneira Company, that for many years was considered “The world’s largest citrus ranch,” and today produces citrus fruit in both American hemispheres to ensure worldwide and year-round market access.
