Organic Artichokes
|
| |
Ocean Mist Farms has been supplying premium, conventional Artichokes for more than 80 years. In 2000, we realized that we needed to
learn how to grow produce organically. We have selected organic acreage that is naturally high in fertility, where we continue to
grow our premium Globe Artichokes.
We first trialed growing Artichokes in an organic culture in 2001 on our Castroville ranches. Through our intensive research and
development program, we have developed high-quality Artichoke varieties that respond well to organic-growing methods. Since our first
organic acreage came on line, we have gone on to produce high-quality organic Artichokes on over 350 acres, nearly year-round between
our different production areas. Today, we have more ground in transition from conventional farming methods to organic-farming
methods, so that we can continue to provide the highest quality organic product on a consistent basis.
We have selected organic acreage that is naturally high in fertility, where we can continue
to grow premium Globe Artichokes
using organic-growing methods. We are certified by California Certified Organic
Farmers (CCOF) and the Agricultural Services
Certified Organic (ASCO). We also adhere to the strict organic-growing standards of
the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) and the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). At Ocean Mist Farms, we strive to minimize intrusion with the
environment and surrounding wildlife habitats. Our goal is to continue to be true stewards of the land and to produce quality
Artichokes and fresh vegetables for the long term.
