Summer on the Central Coast is a season worth savoring. Long, sunny days, cool coastal evenings, and gardens bursting with color make this one of our favorite times of year at Cambria Nursery.
While many visitors come for the plants, flowers, and gift shops, there’s another hidden gem waiting to be discovered: our Farmstand. Filled with fresh produce and pasture-raised eggs from our sister property, 46 Ranch, the Farmstand offers a direct connection to the land and the flavors of the season.
Whether you’re planning a backyard barbecue, stocking your kitchen with fresh ingredients, or simply looking for a taste of the Central Coast, here’s a look at what’s growing this summer and making its way from 46 Ranch to the Farmstand at Cambria Nursery.
From 46 Ranch to Your Table
Located just a short drive from Cambria, 46 Ranch is where the fresh produce and pasture-raised eggs you’ll find at the Farmstand begin their journey.
Throughout the year, the ranch produces a variety of seasonal fruits, vegetables, eggs, honey, and more that reflect the rhythms of the Central Coast growing season. By harvesting close to home and bringing products directly to the nursery, we’re able to offer food that’s fresh, flavorful, and connected to the place we call home.
When you shop at the Farmstand, you’re not just buying produce, you’re supporting a local farm and experiencing the best of what our region has to offer.
What’s Growing This Summer?
Summer is one of the most abundant times of year at 46 Ranch. Depending on the season and harvest schedule, you may find:
- Vine-ripened tomatoes bursting with flavor
- Zucchini and summer squash
- Avocados
- Citrus
- Onions
- Seasonal berries such as strawberries and blueberries
- Juicy melons
- Stone fruits, including apricots, apples, and plums
Availability changes throughout the season, which is part of what makes each visit to the Farmstand special. The produce you find reflects what’s thriving in the fields right now, harvested at its peak and brought directly to Cambria Nursery.
Fresh Pasture-Raised Eggs from 46 Ranch
One of the Farmstand’s most sought-after offerings is our hand-gathered, pasture-raised eggs from 46 Ranch.
The hens spend their days outdoors with access to fresh pasture, allowing them to forage naturally and enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle. The result is eggs with rich golden yolks, excellent flavor, and the quality that comes from careful stewardship of both animals and land.
Whether you’re preparing a weekend breakfast, baking a favorite recipe, or creating a simple summer meal with fresh vegetables from the Farmstand, these eggs are a local favorite for good reason.
A True Farm-to-Garden Experience
The connection between Cambria Nursery and 46 Ranch is part of what makes a visit here unique.
You can stroll through the nursery’s gardens, find new plants for your landscape, browse the gift shops, and then pick up fresh produce and eggs grown by the same family operation. It’s a complete Central Coast experience that celebrates gardening, farming, sustainability, and community.
