This summer, Chef Mike Michael Baldwin had the privilege of visiting Stanislaus Food Products and Stanislaus & Corto Life in Modesto, California for an unforgettable harvest experience π
β¨
From witnessing the tomato harvest alongside Ratto Bros., Inc. Chris and Dave Ratto, to walking the groves of Corto Olive and learning the full journey from olive to oil, even blending his own signature variety named after his sons Hudson and Michael π«
Shared alongside fellow pizzaioli and pizza lovers Wilhelm Rodriguez and LOL Caesarsπ, this experience is a reminder of why quality ingredients matter and the incredible people behind them.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible: the farms, the friends, the family, and the community that continues to inspire πβ₯οΈ
