Lompoc Artichokes are Back!


Lompoc Valley produces some of the most nutritious and flavorful artichokes in the country.  Baroda Farms is the industry leader in bringing new varieties of the artichoke to your dinner table.  These new varieties have meatier leaves, bigger hearts, and better flavor, which means one thing: better eating!
Artichokes can be enjoyed in many ways.  Try them steamed, cooked in a pressure cooker, grilled or even BBQ'd.  Sprinkle on some Spencer's Santa Maria Style Tri-Tip Seasoning and enjoy with a small side of mayonnaise or melted butter.  If you want to be on the more adventurous side, try these other dipping options:

- Mayonnaise and mustard mixture
- Mayonnaise and lemon or lime juice
- Butter mixed with fresh garlic
- Mayonnaise with curry powder
- Mayonnaise with pesto
- Lemon or garlic aioli

These artichokes are on sale now for $0.79 a piece, while supplies last.
