I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM! August in the Central Valley is known for its high, dry temperatures and this year is certainly no exception. Eating chilled stone fruit or Apple Pears is a quick way to enjoy a summer cool-down, but there is something just a bit more tempting about the sound of that treat when it is transformed into a creamy, slow-churned, homemade ice cream or sorbet. Blend up a batch to enjoy today!

In April, a video was posted on YouTube by American Greetings and Cardstore entitled “World’s Toughest Job.” It soon went viral.

If you have ever driven through the Central Valley in February and March, you will have seen acre after acre of gorgeous trees in bloom - a treat for the eyes, though not so lovely for your sinuses. This month we've put together a few infographics to help you sort out which types of trees you are looking at by identifying the blossoms. If you are in our area, mid-February to mid-March is a great time to take out your bike (or just drive your car) along the Blossom Trail. Our orchards are just to the south of the official trail, but you'll get a great overview of this beautiful season (...

The Making of the Card
This year we chose to go with a Dynasty themed Christmas card: Duck Dynasty, that is. The Robertson family has been popping up a lot this year with everything thing from chia heads to talking Uncle Si dolls with glowing beards and everything in between. So, we pulled out our camo and our serious faces (and some not so serious ones too) to bring you this year's card - we hope you enjoy!

The booth setup went smoothly, all things considered, and we had the opportunity to try the renouned Café du Monde beignets before the opening day was (rather quickly) upon us. The show floor stretched out for over a mile with produce and floral industry members from across the globe gathering to see what new things will be available in the upcoming year. Our VP of Sales and Marketing, Dan Spain, described the feel of...
By association, it would be easy to assume that the Kiwi fruit originated in New Zealand, when in fact, this odd fruit originated in China. Actinidia Deliciosa is the Kiwi’s scientific name but it was also named Mihou Tao and Yang Tao, which means ‘sunny peach’. It wasn’t until the beginning of the 20th century that a missionary named Isabel Frasier brought the fruit from China to New Zealand after she visited mission schools in China. In 1906, the first of many Kiwi trees to come was planted by a nurseryman named Alexander Allison and by 1910 the first...
