The Event
About
The Organic Stone Fruit Jubilee features fruit tasting and buying of fresh produce from local small farms that specialize in growing delicious varieties of nectarines, peaches, plums, pluots, and other specialty stone fruits. There is a bus tour of nearby farms prior to the event including a pick-your-own experience. There are kid-friendly activities as well as food and beverage booths. Educational talks on Essential Oil Safety and Pollinators as well as Farmer Talks in the Tent Area ensure there is something for everybody. This event not only treats the taste buds, but the spirit as well. Music by Good Medicine, a Japanese tea ceremony and purifying therapy sessions are also on the schedule. And if that isn't enough, there are artisan and other vendors available for your shopping pleasure. You don't want to miss this unique experience.
The Venue
This will be the eleventh year the Organic Stone Fruit Jubilee has been held at the Mokichi Okada Association (MOA) Oasis Garden near Clovis, CA. MOA is a 10 acre working farm with beautiful gardens, so it is important not to pick the fruit or flowers. Event participants can take a guided farm tour with Bruno, the site manager. Bruno is passionate about natural farming and believes that art, natural farming, and healthy living can create a better world.
The Farmers
There are 8 local organic farmers participating in the event this year. Each will have a fruit tasting booth set up with plates of freshly-cut ripe fruit for you to enjoy. In addition, the food vendors will each offer menu items that contain fruit from the participating farms.
