Why Below Sea Level?
My family and I call Brawley, California home. It's a cozy small town nestled in the Imperial Valley, which some might affectionately describe as a giant bowl of dust! With mountains lining the horizon, it's definitely a desert oasis at the very base of California.
What's really neat about our area is that you'll notice big painted lines on water tanks, feed silos, and the famous Holly Sugar beat plant silo that all have "Sea Level" written at the very top of them. They're markers of just how low we are - if the Pacific Ocean were to spill over the San Diego mountains and into our valley, it would reach the line marked on all of these tanks.
In fact, our own city of Brawley has an elevation of 113 feet below sea level! That's why we proudly embrace being "Below Sea Level" - after all, it's a unique part of our identity.
Why a Sunflower?
We chose the sunflower as our logo because of the beautiful example it illustrates for our company to follow… Just like how the sunflower always turns towards the sun, we should always turn towards the Son of God and let His guidance lead us as we go through our day-to-day tasks.
