Stone fruit season has officially begun at the farmers market, which means the much-anticipated return of Kashiwase Farms, with varieties such as Coral Champagne cherries and Poppy apricots, as well as hybrid fruits such as pluots and apriums.
A crowd favorite for more than 20 years, Kashiwase Farms brings organic stone fruit and almonds from their Winton farm to the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market every Saturday from late spring to early fall. Third-generation farmer Steven Kashiwase and his wife, Lisa, cultivate the farm’s legacy ecologically and financially as they plan for the next generation.
