MODESTO – The almond blossom, often called valley snow, is beginning to show signs of its return across the region.
The almond blossom season often begins mid February, offering a pleasant display of pink and white blooms. The bloom doesn’t last too long, with the petals typically falling by early to mid March. When the petals fall, they cover the ground in a blanket of “valley snow.”
While the orchard blooms are a pleasant experience, the farms are still private property. Below are a list of approved locations provided by Visit Modesto to see the blossoms in person:
Rodin Farms Fruit Stand, Robert’s Ferry Gourmet in Waterford, and Zinc House Farms in Escalon.
