Milt Laird, Treasurer
Army Officer & Financial Whiz Returns to Farming Roots

Milt has been around farming most of his life.  He grew up in Oklahoma working on his grandparent’s farm growing corn, maize and other field crops, as well as raising hogs and some cattle.  In those days of the depression, the farm had no electricity or running water, so Milt has plenty of experience with hand pumping water, milking cows, chopping wood and plowing with horses and mules.

After college, and prior to entering the world of financial management, Milt served in the US Army on active duty in Germany and then in the reserves.  After his military service, Milt returned to Southern California as a Certified Public Accountant where he worked in the Financial Services industry as a consultant, investment advisor and CFO for several companies.

After investing in other agriculture projects, Milt purchased his first Chardonnay vineyard in Sebastopol, Ca. in 1978.  Milt and Carlene sold that vineyard in 1999 and moved to Paso Robles. 

The Laird Family now owns Adobe Road Vineyard and Kokopelli Vineyard where they plan on staying for a very long time.
