B & R Farms

B & R Farms is a fourth-generation family-operated business owned by Jim Rossi and his wife Mari, rooted in Hollister, California since 1929. The operation began when Jim's grandparents, Frank and Mary, purchased land and planted an orchard that eventually grew into over 40 acres of Blenheim apricots. B & R Farms grows and produces dried Blenheim apricots in multiple cuts, apricot preserves and toppings made from family recipes, and chocolate-covered apricots. The preserves line includes Apricot Spread, Apricot Chili Spread, Apricot Red Pepper Topping, and Apricot Topping. The farm also offers gift packages and welcomes visitors to its Hollister facility. Orchard management, grading, sorting, packaging, and cool storage are all performed by the family and their staff on-site. Learn more on their About Page.
