Mendocino, California
A banana farm where bananas have no business growing.
Yellow Farms grows 3,000 varieties of banana on the fog-cooled Northern California coast. Wander the rows on a free tour, or pick your own.
The unlikely orchard
Tropical fruit, raised in the fog.
Bananas crave heat and humidity. Mendocino offers neither in abundance — it offers salt air, marine fog, and long cool seasons. So we built a farm that bends the rules: tucked greenhouses, microclimate pockets, and decades of patient selection.
The result is one of the most diverse banana collections anywhere — a living archive you can walk through, smell, and taste.
