About Castroville

Castroville is a Monterey County community famous for artichokes. The annual Castroville Artichoke Festival and the surrounding crop fields give the town one of the clearest agricultural identities on California's Central Coast. Its deeper history reaches back to an 1844 Mexican land grant connected to Maria Antonia Pico de Castro and the Castro family. Today Castroville sits near the Pajaro River and Monterey Bay, with farm labor, packing, highway traffic, and coastal weather all part of its everyday feel.
