Bob Steinacher has been growing Figs at Maywood Farm since the late 80’s. With financial support of his family, Bob left his home in the Bay Area to set out and be a farmer. Land was affordable in Corning and the local farm advisor board was looking for someone to come in and grow figs. So, figs it was! 

California mango season starts with the Esquire Mango. With a subtly sweet flavor, the Esquire is the first variety coming out of the short season in California's Salton Sea area!

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.

Nam Doc Mai (translates to sweet nectar of the blossom) is a Thai Cultivar and Thailand’s best known dessert mango. One of the world’s most coveted mangos and the mango best used in Thailand’s Famous Dish-Mango with Sticky Rice.

Super sweet Mallika Indian Mangos have silky and creamy fiberless sweet flesh. Pale green skin turns bright yellow with light pinkish and yellow blush tones.

Black Mission Figs are the most common variety with deep purple to black skin, watermelon to pink colored flesh and good flavor. They are delicious eaten fresh or dried.

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.
