Description

Delicious California grown organic Hass Avocados from Ventura County! What makes a California avocado so special? The rich soil and coastal climate here are why Cali avos are so darn rich and creamy.

CALIFORNIA AVOCADO FARMING PRACTICES RESPECT THE EARTH

California avocado growers are committed to regenerative agriculture practices, which work to restore the natural benefits Mother Nature provides, like healthy soils. California avocado farmers do not turn over and break up the soil. This helps to generate healthy soils which reduce greenhouse gas emissions by preventing the release of carbon already in the soil and even sequestering additional carbon from the environment. Other regenerative agriculture practices include the prevention of soil erosion and improving water retention and infiltration.

TAKE CARE OF THEIR WORKERS

Fair labor practices are important to California Avocado growers. Extensive state and federal regulations ensuring worker health and safety are in place, and California has robust regulations for wages and benefits, occupational health and safety, child and voluntary labor, and non-discrimination in agriculture. In many cases California’s regulations exceed federal requirements.

It takes 14 to 18 months to grow a single California Avocado, and when ready to harvest the fruit is harvested by hand, providing jobs to agricultural workers. The work is seasonal, with many harvesters employed by harvesting crews who work on different agricultural crops throughout the year. Like with some of their farm employees, many growers have worked with the same harvesters for decades.
