Ocean Mist Farms Wrapping Up Successful Spring Artichoke Season

Ocean Mist Farms, Castroville, CA, is wrapping up a successful spring artichoke season as the company transitions into its Northern California summer season.

Ocean Mist Farms’ spring and summer artichokes are grown from perennial plants that perform best in cooler climates and thrive in temperate weather environments, especially coastal areas, with a low risk of frost.

While the company’s popular purple artichoke season has concluded until next winter, Ocean Mist expects steady volumes of globe artichokes over the next couple of weeks.

“There is typically a slight dip in supply as we transition into our summer crop, but with pre-planning, retailers can still take advantage of promotable volumes throughout the summer,” says Ben Wilson, commodity account manager, Ocean Mist Farms.
