Orchard Tour - Fortule Farms

On September 20, from 10-12, Ken Tseng will welcome us to his Fortule Farms in Escondido. Here is Ken's description:

"Welcome to Fortule, a certified organic farm where we grow delicious dragon fruit, figs, cherimoya, guava, pomegranates, avocados, lemons, and so much more! But we don’t stop there—we also love experimenting with rare and unique fruits, so we’ve dedicated part of our farm to growing both familiar favorites and exotic finds.

From nearly every pome and stone fruit you’d find at local nurseries to special varieties sourced from passionate collectors, our orchard is full of surprises. Ever heard of yangmei, lucuma, cherilata, or black sapote? These are just a few of the unusual treasures we’re nurturing!

Thanks to our two greenhouses, we’re able to propagate many of our own fruit trees, which means we’re always growing something new and exciting. Whether you’re a fruit enthusiast or just curious about sustainable farming, we’d love to have you visiting our farm!

It will be dragon fruit and fig season, so we may have some fruit tasting."
