Old California Botanicals is founded and operated by JP Beall, a vertically integrated California grower, agricultural manager, consultant, and State of California–licensed Produce Broker.
A seventh-generation Californian and fifth generation of a California citrus-growing and packing family, Beall actively grows produce on his own account while also managing, sourcing, and advising across California’s specialty-crop sector. Old California Botanicals is not removed from agriculture—it is built directly on it and it works with over 20 agricultural inputs that reach their peaks in California specialty microclimates on generational farms.
This is a working agricultural enterprise, from soil to shelf.
Vertically Integrated Agriculture
Beall operates across the full agricultural value chain, including:
-
Growing and managing produce on his own account
-
Citrus and specialty crop production
-
Produce brokerage and market development
-
Value-add agricultural products
-
Brand, formulation, and distribution strategy
As a licensed Produce Broker in the State of California, Beall bridges production, processing, and sales—allowing Old California Botanicals to maintain direct control over sourcing, quality, and story. What he doesn't grow himself, he is able to source from long-standing, generational connections who produce the freshest and highest quality local ingredients, right here in California.
Vertical integration ensures that what reaches customers is grounded in real California agriculture, not outsourced supply chains or abstract branding.
Agricultural Management & Consulting
In addition to operating his own agricultural production, Beall provides agricultural management and consulting services focused on:
-
Specialty crop strategy and orchard development
-
Citrus, fruit trees, and California-grown botanicals
-
Land stewardship, yield optimization, and value-add opportunities
-
Connecting growers to markets through compliant produce trade
This dual role—as both operator and advisor—informs a pragmatic, field-tested approach to every Old California Botanicals product.

California Citrus Heritage & Botanical Research
Raised in the heart of California Citrus Country, Beall draws from lived experience growing up among working groves, packing houses, and agricultural communities.
He continues to travel extensively throughout California researching:
-
Heritage citrus varieties and historic orchards
-
Legacy agricultural regions and early settlement patterns
-
Botanicals tied to California’s cultural and horticultural history
This research anchors Old California Botanicals in place, provenance, and continuity, particularly in citrus, wine grapes, roses, lavender, fragrance from orange blossoms and other botanicals, food, baking, and personal care.
Preservation, Policy & Agricultural Advocacy
Beall is an active advocate for open land, agricultural preservation, and working landscapes, engaging at local, county, and state levels.
He serves as:
-
A Board Member of the County Farm Bureau
-
A leader within the Young Farmers & Ranchers Program
-
A member of the California Farm Bureau Committee on Fruit Trees
These roles ensure Old California Botanicals remains connected not only to markets—but to policy, land use, and the future of California agriculture.
The Old California Experience
Old California Botanicals extends beyond products into place-based experience.
Beall also operates a California heritage–inspired Airbnb retreat, designed to immerse guests in the Old California aesthetic—working gardens, citrus, regional history, and landscape. This hospitality experience reflects the same philosophy as the brand: agriculture experienced, not abstracted.
Products, land, and experience are intentionally connected.

Vertically integrated California agriculture

Produce grown on the founder’s own account
-
Licensed produce brokerage
-
Botanical and historical research
