Ocean Mist Farms has been the Gold Standard of Artichokes® for nearly 100 years.
And that’s just the beginning.
GROWING
REGION
Castroville, CA is where we call home, and is in fact, where our very first artichokes were planted over nine decades ago. Our four ambitious founders selected the Mediterranean-like climate in this central California area because of its similarity to this Italian vegetable’s native home across the Atlantic. Castroville’s mild, coastal temperatures are perfect for growing the Gold Standard of Artichokes®!
SUPERIOR FARMING PRACTICES
Ocean Mist Farms’ vertically integrated operations means that we oversee every stage of the production cycle. From seed R&D, land selection, cultivation and planting all the way to harvesting, processing, cooling and distribution, we maintain Gold Standard best practices at every step in the farming and distribution process- not something all fresh produce brands can say! Learn more about our Gold Standard Farming Practices and Food Safety Initiatives.
COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Ocean Mist Farms has been committed to preserving and enhancing our farmland and surrounding ecosystems since we first started growing fresh vegetables in 1924. Learn more about how we are committed to Gold Standard sustainability initiatives.
OUR GOLD STANDARD PRODUCE GOES BEYOND OUR CASTROVILLE GROWING REGION.
