In California, the Pawpaw season begins in the spring with a magnificent show of maroon red magnolia like blossoms. 

Throughout the summer the fruits develop in small clusters, and once the harvest begins in early Fall, Lagier Ranches, an organic farm in Escalon, goes into full Pawpaw production. They are the sole marketer of this tasty fruit in the San Francisco Bay area, and sell them fresh out of hand at area Farmers Markets, as well as process them in their organic kitchen for pies and custards. They also sell frozen Pawpaw puree in the off-season.
