Apple industry in Pajaro Valley at a crossroads
In Watsonville California growers face a shifting climate and rising land prices as berries dominate the Pajaro Valley. Apple orchards have dwindled since the early 1900s while Martinelli’s buys most region apples. Some see drought pressures pushing land back to apples, others fear ongoing warming may end varieties. Community growers stay hopeful about taste and local pickup.
