Welcome to the Orange County Chapter
California Rare Fruit Growers

The 2026 OC Fair

Come visit us at the OC Fair. Once again, the OC Chapter of CRFG will have an outreach booth at the OC fair. The booth will display fruits donated by Melissa's World Variety Produce as well as fruit trees grown by our members. Come meet our volunteers and talk to them about all the amazing varieties of fruit we can grow in SoCal. 

The fair runs from July 17 to August 16 and is open Wednesday through Sunday. Our booth is located in the Centennial Farm and opens at 11 am each day. For more information about the fair click here. To explore what Melissa's has to offer click here.
