Explore the Rich History of Stone Fruit Farming

Welcome to a true gem nestled in the heart of California's agricultural history - a historic stone fruit orchard known as Novakovich Orchards. Located in Saratoga, CA, this family-owned orchard has a rich legacy dating back to 1911 when Matt and Mary Novakovich first ventured into stone fruit farming after immigrating to Sonora from Yugoslavia.

For over a century, this picturesque orchard has been meticulously tended to by three generations of the Novakovich family, who have dedicated themselves to cultivating a wide array of high-quality stone fruits. From juicy peaches and nectarines to sweet cherries and plums, Novakovich Orchards offers a bountiful harvest of apricots, prunes, pomegranates, persimmons, and pluots, all grown with a commitment to sustainable and efficient farming practices. Beyond their dedication to producing top-notch stone fruits, Novakovich Orchards also provides a unique glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of the region. The orchard stands as a living testament to the hard work and passion that have been passed down through the generations, shaping not only the land but also the community that surrounds it.

In addition to offering fresh fruits to local customers, Novakovich Orchards has expanded its offerings to include dried fruits that can be shipped to Bay Area locals and former Silicon Valley residents looking to enjoy a taste of the orchard's fruits from afar. During the holiday season, the orchard delights customers with special gift boxes featuring decadent treats like dried apricots dipped in chocolate and tantalizing turtles made with dried apricots, caramel, pecans, and chocolate - a true delight for the senses.

With its timeless charm, commitment to quality, and a legacy that spans generations, Novakovich Orchards stands out as a true treasure in California's agricultural landscape. Whether you're looking to savor the flavors of fresh stone fruits or share a taste of tradition with loved ones, Novakovich Orchards invites you to experience the beauty and bounty of their historic orchard.
