VISIT MODESTO, CALIFORNIA Located halfway between San Francisco and Yosemite National Park sits Modesto — a vibrant, year-round city with every reason to stop. No matter which direction you are traveling through Northern California, the fields of crops and orchards call out, tempting you with the lure of farm-fresh goodness. Packed into your trunk or plated on the table, the harvest of each season brings tasty delights. Spring and summer yield juicy stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, and apricots, along with berry picking experiences at local farms. Farm stands and farmers markets offer locally grown produce, nuts, jams, honeys, and even fresh almond butter to add to your picnic basket, long into the autumn months. Winter means gift shopping and fresh Christmas trees, too. The region truly shines in February and March when the almond orchards blossom, ushering in another year of harvests. Our fruits and veggies bring a diverse restaurant culture that incorporates justpicked ingredients, from BBQ joints, breweries, and global cuisine to over 40 food trucks serving ‘local fresh,’ too! But the lure of Modesto goes far beyond the fields as you learn inside. So fill your trunk up with our homegrown goods — but also stop for an affordable foodie getaway, basecamp for outdoor excursions to the Sierras, familyfriendly road trip, or top-notch concert weekend. Modesto can’t wait to show you everything we’ve got to offer!
