Title: [William Dimotakis on his farm in Manceca, California]
Date Created/Published: [between 1935 and 1942]
Notes:
Title from Cathy Rundell, descendant of the Dimotakis family, owners of the farm in 1938.
William (Greek name: Vasilos), an immigrant from Crete, was born April 1890 in Cambous, Crete, and died 5 June 1967. He originally went to Utah where he worked in mines before moving to Davenport, Ca., where he worked in a quarry. He later moved to the Manteca. This was his second farm in Manteca, Ca. The Dimotakis family farm was virtually self-sufficient and grew a variety of fruits: figs, apricots, peaches, loquats, dates, oranges, lemons, limes, mulberries, melons and grapes; vegetables and nuts: peas, beans, zucchini, avocados, olives, pecans, walnuts, almonds. It also included a functioning olive oil plant, dairy, and aviary, and livestock, and there was an outdoors wood-burning oven for bread baking; and they kept bees for gathering honey. Most weekends there was a social gahtering around food and drink that often included a goat or lamb rotating on a spit. (Source: Cathy Rundell, 2010.)
