“ My sons are expanding the business , building a new facility in Hollister that will be surrounded by a farm ,” George said . “ With eight grandchildren , I think we can hope for a fourth generation of farmers , I think we ’ re putting the building blocks in place to make this a possibility .”
George and Alice are equally proud of their daughters , who have also applied their talents in the business over the years , Nicole is a graphic designer who has worked with Apple and Wired Magazine . Christy and her husband own Terrapin , a Silicon Valley computer networking company .
“ George Chiala Farms has experienced incredible growth due to George ’ s foresight ,” said Scheer . “ And yet you couldn ’ t find a more humble man . It is hard to do him justice with words on paper . There is something in his presence — strength , gentleness , humility , care — that can only be experienced by interacting with him .”
Chiala will be honored by Leadership Morgan Hill with the 2014 Leadership Excellence Award on Saturday , July 12 , 2014 at Castillo ’ s Hillside Shire Winery . The event will include dinner and entertainment , an auction and a tribute to George and his family .
