Ocean Mist Farms has been in relentless pursuit of excellence since our founders came here from Italy 100 years ago and began growing artichokes in the fertile and nutrient-rich Castroville fields, cooled naturally by Monterey Bay breezes. A century – and four generations – later, we are the largest grower/shipper of artichokes in North America. We remain committed to the same level of service and quality standards that our forefathers established a century ago.
