Loquats and 8 Balls
t’s strawberry season for San Diego farms, meaning baskets of the bright, red fruit
will be plentiful in April. Expect to fi nd many locally grown strawberries at farmers markets across the county, and taste the sweetness coming off our wet winter. Up in Escondido, JR Organics says this
year’s crop of organic berries offer smell, color and taste that are “one of a kind.” It will also see summer squashes start to come into season, including zucchini, the straight-neck gold bar squash (also called yellow zucchini), and 8 ball squash, which shares the fl avors and speckled green skin of zucchini, but with a spherical shape that’s better for stuffi ng. Rodney Kawano’s farm in Oceanside also
has strawberries and summer squash com- ing in, plus onions coming midmonth. On the cruciferous side, it continues to furnish broccoli and Brussels sprouts, while vegetable options also include snow peas, carrots, kale and Swiss chard. Among Kawano’s unusual off erings are mushrooms, with Shitake, oys- ter, crimini and white button mushrooms for sale at his market stands. Bonsall’s Adam Maciel Organic Farm
doesn’t off er strawberries, but its loquats are coming back into season. T e Maciels see fewer of the tart fruit coming in compared
All supplies provided. Thursday, April 6, 1pm; $30-$40. Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way. (OCEANSIDE)
tell me an asparagus crop “is really poppin right now.” Second generation California farmer
Taste the sweetness of locally grown strawberries thanks to San Diego’s wet winter
to last year, but they’re also larger. Since these juicy apple relatives don’t ship well, fi nd- ing them local is key. On the vegetable side, their market stands will feature the usual assortment of leafy greens, fresh herbs, and root vegetable, including Japanese turnips, which tend to be milder and sweeter, with delicate enough skin that the whole thing can be enjoyed raw.

Jerome Stehly founded Stehly Ranch to raise chickens back in 1962. It quickly evolved to one of the area’s larger produce growers, and today the 278-acre ranch grows avoca- dos, citrus, strawberries, blackberries, and assorted vegetables. Stehly’s sons, Jerome and Noel, took over the farm in 2002, and the brothers changed the name to Stehly Farms Organics, to refl ect the property’s certifi ed organic designation. In addition to its Strawberry picking
event, the farm opens to the public to pick from its pumpkin patch in October, and hosts a blackberry fest in June. But the farm’s best known for its tree crops. Its Hass and reed harvests are a huge reason San Diego’s the largest producer of avocados in the nation. It also raises quite a lot of citrus fruit, including grapefruit, orange, and tangerine varieties. Locally, Stehly produce is sold in its pro-
prietary Stehly Farms Market locations in Bay Park and Kensignton, as well as larger grocery outlets such as Jimbo’s, Whole Foods, Cream of the Crop, Seaside Market, and the People’s Market co-op in Ocean Beach. — Ian Anderson
