Family has played a huge role in the creation and success of this family farm. From humble beginnings in the field in 1989, to a garage operation in 1995 where Suprema Star was started, to 2005 when Jose split off from his parents’ company to start Jayleaf, their family has continued to support each other and maintain the high level of quality that is synonymous with Jayleaf. Today, Jose and Maggie Ornelas oversee all operations at the company, similar to the way Jose’s parents did when they started Suprema Star.
