Pittman & Davis – September 2026 Grove Update

Grove Update: Morro Bay Avocados™ – California’s Finest

A Partnership Worth Celebrating

Some partnerships find you when you least expect them. When we discovered a family farm in Morro Bay, California applying sustainable farming practices for over 25 years, we knew immediately this was someone who shared our values. A quarter century of dedication to quality, sustainability, and doing things right the way nature intended – exactly the kind of partnership Pittman & Davis was built to celebrate.

The Magic of Central California’s Microclimate

Morro Bay sits along California’s Central Coast where something remarkable happens every summer. Cool ocean air rolls in from the Pacific, creating a foggy microclimate that dramatically slows the avocado ripening process. While conventional avocado operations rush their fruit to market, Morro Bay’s cool summers give these premium avocados significantly more time to mature on the tree.

This extended ripening period is everything. More time on the tree means more time developing the healthy, flavorful oils that define an exceptional avocado. The result is fruit with dramatically higher oil content than anything available in conventional grocery stores, translating directly into that incredibly creamy, buttery texture and bright, slightly nutty flavor that melts in your mouth.

What Makes These Avocados Different

Walk through the Morro Bay groves during summer and you immediately understand the difference. Trees heavy with fruit in no particular hurry to ripen, farmers who read their avocados by feel and experience rather than shipping schedules, and soil that has been carefully tended through 25 years of sustainable practices.

This sustainable approach produces avocados that are exceptional sources of healthy fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The same practices that create extraordinary flavor also create extraordinary nutrition. At Pittman & Davis, we believe these two things should never be separated.

Rare by Nature, Worth Every Bite

Morro Bay Avocados are only available for a few short months each year, and that scarcity is part of what makes them special. When the season arrives, our farm partners handpick each avocado at peak oil content and rush them directly to your door within days of picking, complete with a ripening guide to ensure you enjoy them at their absolute best.

These aren’t year-round commodity avocados. They’re a seasonal treasure from a specific place, grown by specific people who have spent decades learning exactly what their land and their trees need to produce something truly extraordinary.

 

Order Morro Bay Avocados™ while the season lasts. Experience what Central California’s unique microclimate and 25 years of sustainable farming dedication creates in every single bite.
