Mallory Mathis with Chapman University friends

The Moulton family has been involved with agriculture and ranching since the 1800s. This tradition has been passed down through formal education at UC Davis, Pomona College, Chapman University, and apprenticeships. Cultivating the land, they install the values of the pioneer spirit in every generation. Learn more about this annual event from our 2020 roundup film.
