Vegetable Seed Supplier — Fresno, CA
Fresno is the agricultural hub of the San Joaquin Valley — the most productive farming region on earth by output.
Fresno is the agricultural hub of the San Joaquin Valley — the most productive farming region on earth by output. Fresno County is among the top agricultural counties in the United States, producing processing tomatoes, peppers, grapes, and a wide range of field and specialty crops. Orsetti Seed Company serves Fresno County and the broader San Joaquin Valley through an independent dealer network, with commercial hybrid varieties evaluated under California field conditions since 1985.
The San Joaquin Valley at Fresno is characterized by intense summer heat, minimal rainfall, and a long growing season that supports multiple crops per year in well-irrigated fields. Processing tomatoes and peppers reach peak performance under these conditions — maximum heat accumulation drives high solids content and yield potential. Orsetti's processing tomato varieties, ranging 67–80 days to maturity, are designed for California's mechanized harvest system. Melon production benefits from the San Joaquin's reliable sun and low humidity during the ripening window.
