It all started in 1917 when a group of farmers founded the California Prune and Apricot Growers Association. This cooperative allowed us to offer prunes to the mainstream market by combining our production capabilities and marketing communications – all under the brand name “Sunsweet.” Sunsweet Growers Phone: (530) 661-6172 Westside Transplant has been growing organic transplants since 2003. 28612 County Road 27 Winters, CA 95694 Office (530) 668-7903...

Hedgerow Farms is where we grow our native plants for seed production, our seed story begins before anything is even planted. Our team of expert botanists travel hundreds of miles across California to hand collect small amounts of seed from native species growing in their natural wildland habitats. Hand collecting seed is crucial to our process because it allows us to focus on providing the most local and well-adapted seed of known genetic origin that we possibly can.

Berryessa Gap introduces a song from Didar Singh Khalsa "Yolo County Jail." BIO: Didar Singh Khalsa is a retired organic fruit farmer who is finding joy in writing and recording absurd numbers of songs. He describes his genre as folkrock, although it’s probably more idiosyncratic than that. He has been religiously attending Richard Thompson’s upstate New York guitar camp for eleven years from whence he seems to have procured the services of a muse of some sort!
