OUR STORY

2nd Generation Family-Owned Business

Veg-Land is a cherished family-owned company, founded by two dedicated brothers, Jim "Big Jim" Matiasevich and John Matiasevich. In 1976, they made the significant decision to move their families from the small city of Watsonville, CA to the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles. The move was driven by their ambitious vision to establish Veg-Land, a venture that would grow into a prominent player in the organic produce industry.

Today, Big Jim's son, Jimmy Matiasevich, carries on the family legacy at Veg-Land, demonstrating the company's continued success under the second generation of the Matiasevich family. The essence of a family business is further captured through the active involvement of Jimmy's brother, Jeff Matiasevich, and his son, Jimmy Matiasevich Jr., in the company's operations.
