Happily located in the Valley of Hearts Delight since 1945 and nurtured by five generations of the Cosentino family, the farm has been called “The Secret Garden” by the San Jose Mercury News. They have fruit year-round and care for more than thirty types of peaches, including some old-fashioned varieties that are truly fabulous. They also grow a diverse array of plums, prunes, nectarines, apples, apricots, figs, bush berries, persimmons, grapes, and more. Because of the warm days, cool nights, and the most fertile soil in California, the fruit grown here is mouth-watering. They pick their fruit fully ripe, much riper than commercial growers, giving our fruit the flavor it was meant to have. Their farming practices are traditional and environmental, and they are the last working orchard remaining in San Jose. They are proud to have 4th generation farmer and Michelin-star restaurant-trained chef, Jason Cosentino, as the founder of the Cosentino Farm Kitchen. He produces amazing farm-to-kitchen delicacies that you can not find anywhere else. You can visit their roadside farm stand at 4977 Carter Avenue in San Jose.
