 Smit Farms

 

About Us

Located in Linden, California, Smit Farms supplies many of this state’s Certified Farmers’ Markets with tree fruit that has been sustainably grown since 1969.

What is the secret to our great tasting produce? A rich history of cultivating in the heart of California farmland is behind it all. Over four decades of experience and a commitment to top quality ensures that you receive the best fruit an orchard can produce.

Smit Farms was established in 1969 by the Smit family and is located about 30 minutes east of Stockton, CA. After emigrating from the Netherlands to Northern California, meeting his bride, and establishing a dairy ranch, John Smit soon got wind of a new apple that would be conducive to grow in the region: the Fuji apple. They proceeded to transform the property from pasture lands to rows and rows of fruit trees. The Smit Family continued to add a wide variety of apples, table grapes, cherries, stone fruit, blueberries, pomegranates, and kiwifruits to their orchards.

Smit Farms has been successful by focusing on growing high quality organic fruit. Going for quality over quantity has helped create a reliable brand of fruit that is always in demand. Smit Farms is still run by family and plans on continuing to do so. The Smits are committed to sustainable farming practices that will allow the soils and those tilling them to coexist in the most natural environment possible. Most of our orchards have been certified organic by the CCOF and registered with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) as organic. Smit Farms can be found at many farmers’ markets in various areas of California.

Stop by this Sunday to pick up some amazing fresh fruit!

Helen Woodward Animal Center Pet Of The Week

Flash is Waiting for You!

Flash first came to the Center when he was a tiny puppy with lots of playful puppy energy and no knowledge of what to do with it. Now, Flash is the perfect dog. He’s an unbelievably intelligent 6-month-old Labrador-Retriever blend; he knows EXACTLY where his kennel is, where the play yards are, and even his favorite walking routes! He does phenomenally on leash, and would make for a wonderful hiking companion. He’s also SO much fun in the field. Flash LOVES toys, and will be entertained for hours with a plushie!

If a fun, well-behaved furry friend is what you’re looking for, come meet Flash today! Stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center to meet him, at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. Kennels are open seven days a week; Monday through Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. For more information call 858-756-4117, extension #1, or visit animalcenter.org.

 Purely Sauce

 

At Purely Sauce, we believe food should nourish both body and planet. That’s why we craft small-batch, plant-based sauces using only real, wholesome ingredients—no preservatives, no seed oils, no artificial anything.

Founded by Ally Patterson, Purely Sauce was born from a mission to inspire more mindful eating and sustainable choices. Every jar is an invitation to choose quality over quantity and to savor food that’s good for you and the environment.

Because every meal is a chance to create a healthier future—one delicious bite at a time.

 

Our Story

My passion for nutrition began when I moved from Brazil to the U.S., where I quickly noticed the differences between American and Brazilian diets. While I enjoyed the variety of flavors here, I became concerned by the amount of flavor enhancers, artificial colorings, preservatives, sugars, salt, and fats added to so many products. I also observed the large portion sizes served at restaurants, a stark contrast to the smaller, balanced servings I was used to in Brazil.

After becoming a parent, my commitment to healthy, wholesome eating grew even stronger. I wanted to provide my children with nutritious foods, avoiding unhealthy ingredients whenever possible. My focus has always been on quality over quantity, striving to nourish my family with only the best. Seeing it grow into something I can now share with more communities means everything to me!

-Ally Patterson, Founder of Purely Sauces

Don’t miss us this weekend!
