Wild River Pluots: A cross between a plum and an apricot, these organic pluots are grown by family farmers along the Yuba River in Marysville. Enjoy them fresh out of hand or add them to a grain salad like our Stone Fruit Bulgur Salad.
Figs: Organic, California-grown Black, Brown, Kadota and Candy Striped Figs are all delicious on their own or stuffed with artisan cheese like Laura Chenel Original Fresh Goat Cheese for a stunning, bite-sized appetizer. For something more savory, try our recipe for Blue Cheese & Chorizo-Stuffed Figs!
Red Plums: This type of stone fruit has sweet, golden flesh with dark burgundy skin. Enjoy them fresh as a healthy snack, sliced on salads, layered with yogurt for a pretty parfait or in our recipe for homemade Refrigerator Jam!
Full Belly Farm Heirloom & Cherry Tomatoes: This Yolo County organic farm grows a bounty of sustainable summer produce, including gorgeous, organic heirloom tomatoes and cherry tomatoes. Try their heirlooms in this Panzanella Salad and their cherry tomatoes on a Caprese Flatbread.
Full Belly Farm Melons: Soak in the sweet taste of summer with organic, locally grown melons—try all their unique varieties to find your favorite! Sweet, savory, salty and sumptuous, fresh melon slices wrapped in thin-sliced Prosciutto di Parma from our Kitchen are the perfect summer snack, or you can try your hand at Melon Gazpacho!
Bell Peppers: From fajitas and curry to stuffed peppers and more, the whole rainbow of organic bell peppers is always a win in our book! Make them the star of the show with our recipe for Roasted Red Pepper & Shallot Spread.
