FIND CALIFORNIA AVOCADOS

Helpful tips to make finding California Avocados easier.

Look for our “California” label

We’ve made considerable strides in more clearly identifying country of origin for California grown avocados. Although not all avocados are identified with our “California” branding, all avocados should be labeled with where they are from on a sticker or label. Look for “California” on the label to know you are getting fresh, locally (California) grown avocados.

Don’t forget organic

Many times, due to supply or other supply-related issues, retailers will have a different country of origin for their organically grown avocados. If you can’t find conventionally grown California Avocados, don’t forget to check the organic section.

Check with the produce manager

First of all, if you can’t find California Avocados in your produce aisle, you should check with the produce manager at your grocery store as they may have an update on when to expect them. Communicating with them and letting them know about your preference will also be helpful in getting your California Avocados sooner. The produce department personnel are there to help and if they know of shopper preference for California grown avocados they will try to accommodate as best as they can.
