TRI-COUNTY PRODUCE

Local partnerships are at the heart of what we do, and we're proud to partner with the Santa Barbara Cheese Company ().

Family-owned and operated on the Central Coast by Sara and Dennis Marin, Santa Barbara Cheese Company crafts cheeses that celebrate the flavors and places that make our region special. Sara's roots run deep on the family farm, and today she and Dennis continue that tradition by crafting cheeses using milk from their own cows. Their commitment to quality starts at the source. They use all-natural ingredients and never add hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, or artificial colors to their cheeses.

Their lineup includes Santa Ynez Cheddar, Montecito Gouda, Anacapa Alpine Style, and Cuyama Chipotle Jack. Each cheese is thoughtfully crafted with care, quality ingredients, and a commitment to great flavor.

We're proud to share products from partners who reflect the values we believe in: quality, care, and a true connection to the Central Coast. Find Santa Barbara Cheese Company cheeses at Tri-County Produce and taste the difference local makes.

Mito's Pick: Artichokes

Artichokes are one of spring’s most interesting vegetables. Technically, they’re actually a flower. If left unpicked, the artichoke blooms into a bright purple thistle.

They’re also packed with fiber, antioxidants, and nutrients like folate, magnesium, and vitamin C, making them as nutritious as they are delicious.

Steam them whole, grill them with olive oil and lemon, or pull apart the leaves and dip them into melted butter or aioli. However you prepare them, artichokes are one of those seasonal foods worth slowing down for.

Fresh artichokes are in season now at Tri-County Produce. Stop by and bring home a taste of spring.
