Planada

Planada is a community in Merced County, California, in the San Joaquin Valley east of Merced along Highway 140, a heavily Latino, predominantly farmworker community surrounded by almond orchards, vineyards, and farmland, where flood and disaster resilience matter after recent valley flooding. Its business base runs on agriculture and farm labor, almonds and vineyards, packing and ag-support services, small retail and services, trades, and the small businesses serving a valley farm community. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke, bilingual business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the businesses and organizations of Planada and Merced County, built to keep working when the network doesn't, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania. Distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
