Ocean Mist Farms Romaine Hearts

Ocean Mist Farms is a historic player in the American agricultural landscape, particularly renowned for being the largest grower of fresh artichokes in North America. Based in Castroville, California, which is often referred to as the 'Artichoke Center of the World,' the brand has been family-owned since its establishment in 1924. While it began with artichokes, the company has successfully expanded its portfolio to include a wide variety of fresh vegetables, including the romaine hearts pictured.

The brand's manufacturing and farming operations are strategically located to ensure year-round availability. While the company is headquartered in California, and much of the production occurs there and in Arizona, the packaging on this specific unit indicates it was produced in Mexico, illustrating the brand's cross-border agricultural footprint. Ownership remains private, held by the same family lineages that founded the enterprise over a century ago, maintaining a legacy of 'Gold Standard' produce quality.
