Gless East Ranch

Gless East Ranch, situated in Hemet, CA, is an expansive agricultural establishment that has deep roots tracing back to the visionary efforts of John J. Gless and Janet McCandless in 1958. Initially starting with watermelon and cantaloupe farming, the couple transitioned to citrus cultivation in Riverside, defying conventional wisdom about the viability of the soil in the Woodcrest area.

Over the decades, Gless Ranch has not only flourished in citrus farming but also diversified its operations to include grapefruit, tangerines, limes, lemons, dates, avocados, and figs across multiple regions like Riverside, the Coachella Valley, and Kern County. With a continuous commitment to agricultural heritage, the ranch remains actively involved in preserving historic sites like the California Citrus State Historic Park and the scenic orange groves along Victoria Avenue.

Furthermore, Gless Ranch boasts a modern tree nursery specializing in propagating a variety of avocado and citrus trees for sale. The newly renovated Gless Ranch Farmer’s Market serves as a hub for fresh produce, artisanal foods, local gifts, and an array of specialty items, offering visitors an immersive experience in the bountiful offerings cultivated by this longstanding family-owned enterprise.
