The M.F.F. Retail Scholarship
In partnership with Murray Family Farms, we bring you the M.f.f. Scholarship for young people.
The M.F.F. Scholarship for Young People is a special program that wholly sponsors the certification of a select number of young people. Applying for the scholarship is easy, simply fill out the form below. Be as detailed as possible, there are only a select number of spaces available.
We live in a world today where employment opportunities are rare and the workforce is inundated by the overqualified. The "starter jobs" of yesterday are the careers of today. Whether because of lack of opportunity, an increase in poverty, or legislative disasters driving away production, many Americans will wake up to go to an entry level position at a large franchise and a slightly smaller portion of that will go on to manage them affording little potential for future growth. As competition for work rises, so does the expectation of experience.
This Phenomena is exactly what makes it nearly impossible for most young people to effectively join the workforce and efficiently grow with the demands of today’s economy. We have removed financial and work place education from school curriculum leaving incoming generations high and dry, and when they do finally join us we marvel at their misunderstanding of the expectations of professional life.
In an effort to solve these issues, 6 & 8 is proud to introduce the 6 & 8 Retail Certification Program.
Murray Family Farms
Nostalgia free with purchase of farm admission.
A bakersfield staple
Murray Family Farms is the kind of place that just /feels/ like home. Really, no matter where you are from, being there feels like you're either at an auntie's house, or visiting grandma (the good grandma). It's the kind of place you will absolutely never forget visiting.
Murray family farms is an unbelievable example of everything we value at 6&8. While the company makes constant contributions to the community, it's the way they treat their employees and the people they work with that contributes to a reputation that spans the globe. Most of Kern County knows Murray Family Farms as the place they went to learn about produce with their school, or the colorful display at the local farmers market but the humble cherry farm that welcomes us onto their land is one of the most significant cherry produces in the entire world.
The Murray family contributes significantly to our local community, and betters the lives of the customers and employees that come across them. You can learn more about having fun around Bakersfield, where you can find them at Farmer's Markets, or the organic sustainable produce by clicking below, or visiting www.MurrayFamilyFarms.com

Paraphotography
People who know how to do it right.
Full Horizon worked with Murray Family Farms! Check out this amazing video they did.
Bakersfield loves getting high.
Full Horizon is definitley a group that knows how to use imagery to highlight the best features of a business, but there are plenty of "Good photographers" out there. For the whole picture, we definitley suggest you check out the whole interview in our Blogs section but here's probably the most significant part. For my take, if you're doing any sort of promotional pictures or photography in or around Bakersfield, use these guys.
“It’s probably seen that way but in all honesty I didn’t initially think of doing exterior stuff. The idea of having an Ultra-HD camera that would literally hang in mid-air anywhere I was doing shots instead of, you know, taking time to mount in a room I couldn’t put holes in or moving a ladder around an inch at a time to try to line up a shot. That was the most exciting part.
To me, that’s why it’s paraphotography. Aerial photography implies... You know, helicopters and zoom lens on some massive headquarters. paraphotography is just absolutely gorgeous, there’s way less set up time, and you know, thats a quicker product and a lower cost. It’s just something special, hence “paraphotography”.”
