Growing and breeding CandyCots is a partnership between two family farms, Driver Family Farms and Britton Konynenburg Family farms.
Driver Family Farms, Waterford, California
Perched on the banks of Dry Creek in eastern Stanislaus County, California, this 10-acre block was the first CandyCot orchard. Planted on a western facing knoll, this orchard is surrounded by mature oaks.
Britton Konynenburg Family Farms, Modesto, California
On a bluff overlooking the Stanislaus River, Chris Britton and Paul Van Konynenburg planted a 14 acre block of CandyCots in 2009. They are looking forward to their first harvest in 2012.
In 2010 they planted an additional 36 acres that will be ready to harvest by 2013.
