Vegetable Seed Supplier — Merced, CA

Merced is the county seat of Merced County in the northern San Joaquin Valley, an agricultural community at the crossroads of the valley's row crop and specialty crop production systems. Merced County's farm economy includes dairy, almonds, sweet potatoes, and processing vegetables. Orsetti Seed Company serves Merced County growers through an independent dealer network with commercial hybrid varieties suited to California's Central Valley production conditions.

Merced County sits in the transition zone between the Sacramento Valley's cooler northern influence and the San Joaquin's hotter southern climate. Processing tomatoes grown in this area benefit from the moderate heat accumulation that supports consistent solids development while avoiding the extreme heat stress that can affect fruit quality further south. The county's access to San Joaquin River water and groundwater irrigation supports reliable summer vegetable production.
