Capitola is a coastal city in Santa Cruz County situated on Monterey Bay, adjacent to the Pajaro Valley agricultural corridor that extends south toward Watsonville. The area serves as a gateway between the Santa Cruz coastal market and the production-intensive Pajaro Valley, where commercial broccoli, lettuce, and strawberry operations are concentrated.
The Capitola coastline shares the same Monterey Bay marine climate that defines cool-season vegetable production across Santa Cruz County — persistent marine layer, stable temperatures, and minimal frost risk year-round. Commercial operations in the surrounding county benefit from this environment for continuous broccoli and lettuce production. Orsetti's CCOF certification aligns with the organically focused supply chain common to Santa Cruz County's vegetable sector.
