David Fenn

Senior Vice President of Farming, Water and Land Management

Being Mother Nature’s right hand man is no easy task. David spends his days ensuring that Sun World’s lands are farmed properly and that its water resources are used responsibly. Sun World is lucky to have him protecting the earth for future generations. In fact, he’s spent the last 23 years managing Sun World ‘s vineyards in Bakersfield and Coachella, overseeing operations in Egypt and supervising food quality for the entire organization. His current position is the culmination of many years’ dedication to producing high quality produce, including adapting cultural practices to meet quality assurance standards for table grape growing.

As part of his commitment to farming responsibly, he also serves on the Cawelo Water District Board and the Pioneer Water District Board. Furthering his cause, David takes the time to teach younger generations about creating a mutually beneficial relationship with the planet by volunteering as a Boy Scouts leader.

In his spare time, David does his own communing with nature. Usually, this involves him standing over his BBQ and grilling Sun World peppers drizzled with olive oil – a simple dish that always wows.
