On August 23, you can join John Schoustra in a tasting of six varieties that are in season at Apricot Lane Farms in Moorpark, Ventura County: Pinkerton, Hass, Nabal, Reed, Lamb, and Gelado.
Schoustra is the orchard manager at Apricot Lane.
In addition, he cultivates another 30 acres in Somis, where he farms avocados in unorthodox yet highly effective ways. (I’ve visited his trees a number of times and seen the evidence.) He uses zero pesticides or fertilizers. He plants trees on berms of soil and then covers the berms and alleys with tons of wood-chip mulch. Read much more about John Schoustra’s methods in this interview I did with him last year.
John will lead the tasting and discuss avocado growing (so bring questions). You will also take one avocado of each variety home. What an opportunity!
