The Wallace Family
Our founders, also siblings, Sim Wallace & Sarah Buncom laid the groundwork for what has evolved into a beautiful legacy.
Sim and Sarah were introduced to examples of entrepreneurship and ownership early on by their parents, Deartis and Theresa Wallace. Born in Texas and resettled in Coachella Valley, they grew up immersed in rural living.
