Modesto is a diverse metropolitan area yet maintains its rural, small town atmosphere, old fashioned hospitality and charm. This is considered by some to be the real ‘cultural hub’ of the Central Valley.

This area, as well as the entire San Joaquin itself, is known to have some of the richest soil of anywhere on earth. Everything thing from dairy products to almonds, various fruits, nuts, melons, wine grapes, and poultry products are produced in the area,  with the City of Modesto involved somehow, or in some way.  To visit this giant valley and drive through the miles and miles of orchards and smell the fragrance of the blossoms is unbelievable to say the least. Roadside stands, selling fresh picked products and offering ice cold drinks are a delight and are a major tourist draw themselves.  The San Joaquin Valley has beautiful year-around warm weather making this an ideal area for growing any produce, fruits, nuts, melons, vegetables or plants of any kind, and also makes it an ideal place to live, to raise a family or to retire in.
