Harvesting:
Del Mar Farms commodities are harvested using state of the art equipment and the latest technology. Harvest season is unique to each commodity with apricots beginning in May, Roma tomatoes beginning late July and almonds peaking in September.
Cleaning, Processing, Packing:
Fresh market apricots, fresh market tomatoes and almonds grown by Del Mar Farms are processed at Del Mar Farms facilities in Westley. When the freshly picked apricot arrive they are cleaned, graded, and packed into boxes according to variety and size. Fresh market tomatoes are harvested at peak maturity. The tomatoes are sent to Westley to be cleaned, processed, and packed. Both fresh market tomatoes and apricots are cleaned using Ozone (non-chemical) solution. Almonds are harvested and shipped to the Del Mar Farms facilities to be sized, sorted and packaged after being hulled. Grown cantaloupes and honeydews are shipped to Del Mar Farms to be cooled to keep freshness and quality.
