Year-round growing season varies by region
California farming began with Spanish missions that planted the first orange and grape vineyards in the 1700s. The Gold Rush brought many people who needed fresh food, so farming grew quickly. In the 1900s, California farmers learned to grow crops year-round using irrigation from mountain rivers. Today, California grows more than 400 different crops and feeds people all over the world.
California's Central Valley is one of the best farming areas in the world with rich soil and perfect weather. The coastal areas stay cool and foggy, which is great for strawberries and artichokes. Southern California deserts are warm year-round and perfect for citrus and avocados. Mountains provide water from snow that melts in spring and summer to water the crops.
California strawberries are ready to pick almost all year, but the best ones come in spring and early summer. You can pick citrus fruits like oranges and lemons from winter through spring when they're sweetest. Grapes are ready to pick in late summer and fall, perfect for eating fresh or making juice. Many farms also grow apples, cherries, and other fruits that ripen at different times of the year.
California farms can be visited year-round because something is always growing and ready to pick. Coastal areas stay cool and comfortable, while inland valleys can get very hot in summer. Bring layers of clothing because California weather can change quickly from cool morning fog to hot afternoon sun. Many farms offer educational tours and tastings where you can learn about California's amazing farming diversity.
