Experience the Central Valley’s Agricultural Abundance

Tourists often overlook California’s Central Valley, but locals know that this abundant agricultural area is home to some of the Golden State’s best agritourism opportunities!

The Central Valley stretches from Bakersfield to Chico, bordered by the Sierra Nevadas to the east and the Coast Range to the west. This expanse of land at the center of the state is widely recognized as one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world. In fact, Central Valley farmers grow over ¼ of the nation’s produce!

More than 250 crops thrive in the Central Valley’s fertile soils – and local farms, wineries and restaurants offer ample opportunities to get an authentic taste of the Golden State. Next time you’re heading towards the Central California, take time to peruse fresh fruits and vegetables at one of the valley’s countless farmstands, visit a u-pick farm or pumpkin patch, or enjoy a true farm-to-table meal.
