CASTROVILLE, CA - Ocean Mist is sponsoring the 78th Annual Monterey County Fair this week with fried artichokes, artichoke sourdough bisque, and a special appearance by the company’s own mascot, Arti the Artichoke. He’ll be meeting fans from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the Ag Building and then throughout the fairgrounds.
Meanwhile, Ocean Mist Farms harvest managers, crew supervisors, and the company’s quality assurance team will be demonstrating their expertise at putting together special fair packs for the vegetable commodity judging competition to go up against other locally grown produce, according to a press release.
“We are excited to bring the majority of our local grown vegetables to this year’s Monterey County Fair,” said Hilda Medina, Marketing Event Specialist and Report Analysis. “It’s a great way to demonstrate the quality and commitment we have as a local grower.”
As part of its fair participation, Ocean Mist donates product to the Country Store located in the Ag Building each day of the fair. All Country Store sales proceeds benefit the Monterey County Fair exhibit program and Ag department.
