Vegetable Seed Supplier — Monterey, CA
Monterey serves as both the county seat and the agricultural business hub for the county's commercial vegetable industry.
Monterey serves as both the county seat and the agricultural business hub for the county's commercial vegetable industry. Ag consultants, the Monterey County Farm Bureau, the County Agricultural Commissioner, and a network of agribusiness service providers based in Monterey coordinate commercial operations that run throughout the Salinas Valley.
Monterey County is California's largest vegetable-producing county by value — the Salinas Valley corridor from Castroville through King City supplies a significant share of the nation's broccoli, lettuce, and spinach. Orsetti's regional dealer network covers the full county, and the San Juan Bautista research facility evaluates varieties under the same coastal disease pressure and fog cycles that define Salinas Valley production.
