BOUCHEY FARM TOUR
Bouchey Farms is a third generation farm located in Wapato, Washington in Yakima Valley. They specialize in red, gold and russet potatoes and Russian Banana, Amarosa, Purple Pelisse and French fingerlings.
CALIFORNIA KEITT MANGOS
California Keitt mangoes are super juicy and sweet with almost no stringy fibers and a small pit which means more fruit to eat. Don’t shy away from these green mangos because Keitts stay green even when ripe.
HEINKE CONCORD GRAPES ARE SPECIAL
Heinke Family Farm in Paradise, (northeast of Chico in the Sierra Foothills) specializes in Concord grapes. These are the last organically grown commercial Concords grown in the U.S. The coveted Concord Grapes are highly aromatic with a floral flavor.
SECOND & SWEETER FIG CROP
Now is the best time of the year to eat fresh figs. The first crop arrives in June and hasn't developed the honey sweetness we associate with a delicious fig. There is a brief break during July before the 2nd crop arrives around the end of July/early August. Figs develop their peak flavor from the middle of August to around the middle of September. In our opinion it is worth waiting for that delicious, incredibly rich and sugary fig.
ARROYO GRANDE BERRY FARM
Maria Iniquez never imagined she would change her career from cosmetologist to farmer. In 2016 Maria took over Arroyo Grande Farm after her brother passed away, with no experience farming and no one to teach her.
GRAVENSTEIN APPLES, A LOCAL FAVORITE
Gravenstein Apples are a local favorite out of Sebastopol grown by Johnny Appleseed from Solana Gold. It is one of the first California apples to be harvested and hints of fall around the corner.
CALIFORNIA GRAPES ARE IN FULL SWING
Over 99% of the grapes grown commercially in the United States are from California. Grapes are grown in the 450 mile long by 50 mile wide area between Sacramento and the San Joaquin Valley regions and in the Coachella Valley in Riverside County. Deep purple Thomcords, red seedless Sparkle, and green Stella Bella are just a few of the seasons highlights.
“THE LITTLE ORGANIC FARM” -LA GRANJITA ORGANICA
La Granjita or “The Little Organic Farm” is a small 2.5 acre farm run by Victor Cortez and Veronica Ceja in Hollister, CA. After 25 years in Mexico, they immigrated to Gonzales, California to form their family and in search of more opportunities to improve their livelihoods.
THOMCORD GRAPES
