SANTA MARIA, CA
Harvest: March thru August
The largest city in Santa Barbara County, Santa Maria, strawberries have been a primary crop grown in the region since the early 1900’s. With its soil packed with minerals and nutrients thanks to the Santa Maria River, Well-Pict varieties thrive in the region’s mild yet crisp air temperatures. An up and coming wine region as well, it’s not wonder that this area’s harvest has increased year after year. For what goes better with wine than a sumptuous, sweet, mouthwatering Well-Pict berry?
