Yes, they do grow here!
Climate change is not all doom and gloom. The silver lining of warming temperatures is the opportunity to grow produce in Northern California that has typically been grown and imported from southern climates. Join us in celebrating the diversity, resilience and abundance of Northern California agriculture.

“Climate change essentially means that Southern California’s conditions are creeping north up the coast and into the valley, while Oregon and Washington are becoming more like Northern California. Precipitation, winds, fog, and seasonal and daily temperature patterns — all of which determine which crops can be grown where — have all been altered."
