Farm acknowledges violations it says it wasn’t made aware of until the shootings.
HALF MOON BAY — The owner of a mushroom farm that was the scene of last week’s deadly mass shooting acknowledged Monday that its onsite worker housing — where the accused gunman lived and that a county supervisor had called “deplorable” — wasn’t permitted or up to code and will be replaced.
San Mateo County officials Monday said they are looking into the matter but would not say what specific violations had been found — or why they weren’t found earlier. Oates would not elaborate on why the violations were unknown before the shootings. Callagy said he didn’t know much about the specific rules for farmworker dwellings, but that he saw at least one that didn’t appear to have a bathroom or plumbing, which he said isn’t legal.
Oates added that California Terra Garden “is grateful for local officials that are working with the company to develop a plan that will provide its employees and their families affordable housing in the area for the next 12 months,” and “will continue providing above-market wages and benefits to all its team members.”
Callagy said Monday neither Terra Garden nor Concord Farms had obtained a county farmworker housing permit, so the county had no way of knowing farmworkers were living there. He said the county can’t just show up at a farm and look for unpermitted housing, and mostly finds out about violations from complaints.
