Meet Side Hill Citrus grower Rich Ferreira and follow the journey of Side Hill Satsumas from harvest in the Sacramento Foothills to your local retailer. Side Hill grows the best tasting Satsumas in California! Easy to peel, they have the perfect mix of sweetness, tartness and low acidity, with very little pulp, no seeds and taste like they are melting in your mouth. Satsumas have six to seven times as much synephrine, a natural decongestant, as other citrus. Four or five Satsumas have enough synephrine to equal the effect of a Sudafed tablet. Enjoy and stay healthy!

An intense heat wave is coming over the Labor weekend and into Labor Day week. Temperatures will reach over 105 degrees in many growing regions including Salinas Valley and Bakersfield. The heat affects our food production, putting not only the plants and fruit at risk but the people harvesting our food.

The first of the locally grown California Bartletts are now coming out of the Sacramento and Stockton River Delta region where the hot days and the cool nights are needed to develop its sweet, juicy and delicious flavor.

The second crop of figs have the rich honey sweetness we associate with delicious figs. Figs love the hot days and warm nights and are grown mainly in the central valley around the Fresno/Madera area to up north of Sacramento in Corning.

We are coming to the end of the California peach season and the transition from early season peaches, to late harvest peaches.  They are lower in moisture and less juicy than early varieties but they are full of flavor.

Fresh dug fingerling new potatoes have not been cured, meaning that the skin is thin and delicate. Sunrise Organic Farm in Lompoc, CA grows beautiful red Amarosa, yellow Austrian Crescent and Purple fingerlings.
