Growing &
Harvest
Ocean Mist Farms artichokes are grown year-round in multiple growing regions throughout Southern California. Every artichoke plant is hand-harvested up to 30 times per season which allows our harvest crews to carefully select artichokes that fit Ocean Mist Farms’ stringent quality standards.
Artichokes are removed from the plant by slicing the stalk just below the base of the artichoke, leaving an edible stem attached.
