Amazing Local Avocados
Ahhhhh, avocados, we love you so! From omelettes to quesadillas, soups to salads, sandwiches to sushi, avocados add the perfect combination of familiar and exotic. While eagerly waiting for our trees to produce, we have discovered a reliable go-to source for the best avocados in the county - possibly in the world - at Pacific Ranch Market in Orange. These fabulous Fuertes are purchased from a local grower, and Pacific Ranch sells them for $.99 each. Absolutely worth the drive from wherever you are in Orange County; but they are usually not ripe so be sure to plan ahead.
