Grower John Romans to be honored by Hartnell College at “Party” on May 21

The Hartnell College Foundation has announced on Thursday, February 10 that longtime Salinas Valley grower John Romans will receive their 2022 Leadership Award at the Party NEAR the Library in Salinas on May 21. Romans, who is a member of the foundation Board of Directors, was a longtime owner of King City-based Mission Ranches, which in 2019 merged with Taylor Farms under the Earthbound Farms brand. He is known as an innovator in organic agriculture and environmentally sustainable cultivation. The Party NEAR the Library, previously called Party in the Library because it began to celebrate Hartnell’s new library in 2006, received its new name in the Spring of 2021. Due to the pandemic, the 2021 event was held on May 9 on Hartnell College’s newly landscaped Central Plaza. The setting proved so ideal that the foundation will repeat the venue, with about 400 people expected to attend a fundraising luncheon and award presentation in May of 2022 to honor Romans with this Leadership Award.
