South Coast Research and Extension Center (South Coast REC) was established by the University of California in 1956 as a representative site for agricultural and horticultural research in California's south coastal plain-temperate climatic zone. Located on 200 acres of deep, moderately sloped, alluvial fan soil, the Center and its mild winter climate are conducive to farming a wide range of crops including subtropicals as well as ornamentals for the urban landscape.

Hoping to stock up on avocados? Interested in trying some classic, hard-to-find-in-the-stores varieties? We've got you covered with the South Coast REC Summer Avocado Sale!
 
Join us on Saturday, August 14th between 8-12pm to pickup your mixed ~10lb bags of Hass, Carmen, and Nabal avocados for only $20. These bags are only available by presale at:http://ucanr.edu/survey/survey.cfm?surveynumber=35248
 
But wait, there's more! During the pickup, we will also be popping up an avocado market where you can find very limited quantities of hard to find varieties like Jan Boyce, Ellen, Anaheim, Kona Sharwil, and more! These avocados will be sold individually, cash only.
 
All proceeds from this avocado sale go back to supporting public education programs here at South Coast Research and Extension Center
