Ken Oneto lives in Elk Grove with his wife, Florence; they have two children, Evan and Erica. The Oneto family has been in the area since 1921 and Ken loves managing the farmland that he owns.
Ken graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Leadership and farming is his life. He was a founding member of CFT, having helped start the Sacramento County Land Trust that merged with other trusts to become the Central Valley Farmland Trust (which later became CFT).
Ken recognizes that an easement is a long term investment and a partnership with the landowner. The organization needs people with a deep understanding of landowners’ needs. He enjoys working with CFT because there is great camaraderie between board members and the staff members are really great to work with.
