Our Passion
Remembering our past through our unique antique collection of farming equipment
“I don’t play golf, I don’t hunt. I collect toys.”
Duane Berger
Since 1972, we’ve been a staple among the Palo Verde Valley farming community, having long-standing relationships with some of the best in the industry. Together, we continue to make our community a powerhouse of farming in the Southwestern United States.
