Growing Regions

Bakersfield and surrounding areas such as Arvin, Lamont and Shafter are located in the heart of the southern San Joaquin Valley. Sandy soils and mild weather in spring and fall make this the only one of our growing regions that provides two harvest seasons.

West of Bakersfield, Cuyama Valley is approximately 2,500 feet above sea level with nutrient-rich soils that are perfect for cultivating organic vegetables. Coastal inversion in summertime creates warm, dry days and cool nights which makes this region the perfect solution during extreme summer heat.

Located near Tehachapi, CA, Cummings Valley is one of the most prolific organic producing agricultural areas in the state of California. Situated nearly 4,000 feet above sea level, this region experiences a four-season climate, providing us with ideal growing conditions for our summer crops.

Our southernmost growing region, the Coachella and Imperial valleys are nestled in the desert southeast of Los Angeles and extend southward to the Arizona border. Due to its mild winter temperatures, this area produces bountiful winter vegetables with a season that typically lasts from September to May.

On the western tip of the Mojave desert, the Antelope Valley sits 2,500 feet above sea level between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. While daytime temperatures can reach the mid-90s, this region cools down to the low 60s overnight which helps to protect our crops from summer heat in the San Joaquin Valley.
