Aromas is a small agricultural community at the northern edge of San Benito County, where the county borders both Monterey and Santa Cruz counties at the entry to the Salinas Valley. The area sits within Orsetti's home territory — Hollister is 20 miles southeast, and the San Juan Bautista research facility is 15 miles south.
The Aromas microclimate reflects the Pajaro River drainage's coastal influence — cool temperatures, fog from Monterey Bay, and minimal frost risk. Commercial vegetable production in the surrounding area is part of the broader north Salinas Valley and Pajaro Valley production system, sharing seed supply networks with both Monterey and Santa Cruz county operations.
