Wyrick introduces Food Art Specialty Produce brand
Wyrick Family Farms, a fifth-generation California farming operation with hydroponic growing operations in Watsonville, has announced the launch of its Food Art Specialty Produce brand. The new line expands the company’s long-standing commitment to dependable, high-quality specialty items for the trade.
With growing operations based in Watsonville, CA, the region’s coastal climate plays a central role in supporting steady, year-round production. Mild temperatures, consistent marine influence and balanced light exposure allow for reliable output throughout the seasons — a natural advantage that complements the farm’s controlled hydroponic systems.
For the Wyrick family, the new brand represents a continuation of tradition rather than a departure from it. “Our family has farmed in California for five generations,” said Stephen Wyrick, owner and CEO of Wyrick Family Farms. “We’ve always believed in steady growth, strong relationships and doing things the right way. Food Art Specialty Produce builds on that foundation by providing consistent, year-round specialty greens grown in one of the best climates in the country.”
The Watsonville operation produces a range of hydroponic mâche, red sorrel and specialty greens tailored to chefs, retailers and wholesale buyers who require dependable availability and consistent quality. By maintaining oversight from seed through harvest and distribution, Wyrick Family Farms ensures uniform standards and traceability across its program.
Distribution throughout North America is supported by the region’s established produce network, reinforcing the company’s direct-from-farm model. In addition, product is available for overnight shipment anywhere in the mainland United States and Canada, extending the farm’s reach while preserving freshness and shelf life.
The emphasis, Wyrick said, remains on reliability. “Customers need consistency week after week,” he said. “Our climate, our growing approach and our family’s experience allow us to supply specialty greens throughout the year with confidence.”
With five generations rooted in California agriculture and more than 33 years of experience growing and packing greens and specialty produce — including edible flowers, culinary herbs and microgreens — Wyrick Family Farms continues to expand thoughtfully, focusing on long-term partnerships, steady supply and pride in California farming heritage.
