Agricultural Development

Moorpark is known for harvesting various fruits, vegetables, and citrus groves. With flat and gently sloped land on much of this estate, there is huge potential for growing a range crops.

Once seasonal rains come around, the rolling hills are completely transformed into a luscious, green sanctuary as seen here.
