Locally Grown
Locally Grown Love fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts? Homemade pies? How about great drives through some of the most beautiful orchards and farmland anywhere? Well, you have arrived in California’s Central Valley, also referred to as “The Greatest Garden in the World” and the “Nation’s Salad Bowl” where fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and dairy are produced, packaged, and shipped all over the world. Stockton and San Joaquin County have a long history of great agricultural operations. Some of our top crops include: dairy, winegrapes, walnuts, cherries, almonds, tomatoes, and apples. We are also famous for our peaches, nectarines, blueberries, and, of course, asparagus!
CLEMENTS RIDGE Open all year, except January. Variety of bulk nuts, locally grown seasonal fruits and vegetables, tri-tip sandwiches, fresh baked pies, and wine tasting.
We encourage you to take a drive through our countryside and stop at the small roadside farm stands. Many have fresh baked goods, offer wine tasting, and even make a great lunch.
COSTA PRODUCE Open May thru September/ October. Fruits and vegetables, nuts, and packaged goods.
TIP: Remember, fresh produce is seasonal, so don’t expect a lot of activity in the dead of winter. Plan ahead and don’t be shy about calling and asking what’s in season!
