Buying California Grown Food is Smarter Than You Think!

California is the leading producer of fresh peaches, plums and nectarines in the United States producing 60% of the peaches, 95% of the plums and 90% of the nectarines.

Approximately 1,500 farmers, small and large, grow these three fruits commercially, hand picking them in the orchards and hauling them to packing sheds.
