What is Central to the Valley?
Everything we grow.
Everyone we feed.
Agriculture fills the horizon of California’s Central Valley
where over 250 crops and generations of farming cultures come together.
Through each farmer and field, generations of farming cultures have created what today feeds a fourth of our nation. We open the door to experience food traditions, new and old, and truly understand what fresh, genuine quality tastes like. Every choice to buy local Central Valley food celebrates these cultures and sustains the farmers who feed both our communities and the world.
