While David and Dorothy took the farm over in 1987, their family has been on the land for over 100 years; and their lives are deeply woven into those 130 acres of stone fruit.

Vern is pushing the envelope of organic farming as the main stone fruit grower for Homegrown Organic Farms, our employee-owned partner that provides blueberries, citrus, stone fruit, grapes, and more. 

Just south of Santa Barbara you’ll find the beautiful slopes of Carpinteria, where Tracy, Dave, and their son, Sean, have spent the past two decades in a world of avocados.

Just off the Santa Ynez river, surrounded by mountains on a slope near the ocean, Chris Caldwell of Tutti Frutti grows in an idyllic spot.

California Stone Fruit season kicks off with sublime Coral Cherries from Fruit World! Corals have glossy firm dark flesh and a very sweet flavor that is similar to Bings.

Onions are available year-round, but they are a seasonal item! In order to have onions to enjoy throughout the year, product must be sourced from a variety of regions and stages in the vegetable's life cycle.

Beautiful red stalks of rhubarb have arrived at Earl’s signaling the beginning of spring. Often thought of as a fruit, rhubarb is actually a vegetable.

Nothing says spring like fresh English and Sugar Snap Peas. English Peas are also called Pod Peas, Garden Peas or Shelling Peas. Earl’s California English Peas, the large Mr. Big variety, and Sugar Snap Peas are coming from Tutti Frutti in Santa Barbara County.

Chris Cadwell was born to be a farmer. A descendent of a long line of farmers, he was only 15 years old when he started his first organic garden. In 1988 he founded Tutti Frutti Farm and now has 350 acres of organic heirloom tomatoes, specialty cherry tomatoes, a variety of sweet and hot peppers, zucchini, winter squash and more.
