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.
Most of these fruits are grown within a 50-mile radius of Reedley, a quiet California Central Valley town near Fresno. Other growing areas exist near Bakersfield, Modesto and Sacramento. Approximately 1,500 farmers, small and large, grow these three fruits commercially, hand picking them in the orchards and hauling them to packing sheds.
