Why We Sell What's In Season

At BUFA we sell what we grow and grow crops that are in season for our area.   Located in the Central Valley we are in Zone 9 so we grow for maximum freshness & quality for the Stockton & French Camp areas.

We sell what's in season because it makes it easier for us to guarantee flavor of each crop.  While we can grow carrots & beets year round, these crops taste sweeter when exposed to cool weather.  The same is true for greens, especially collard greens.  Nothing tastes better than collards that have matured in cool/cold weather.  The greens form natural sugars to keep them warm and this offsets the sometimes bitter taste that collards have.

To help our customers know what we are growing, we created a simple seasonal grow chart.  Check it out here.  If some of your favorites are missing from our list shoot us an e-mail.
