Cosentino Family Farm, a third-generation urban orchard in San Jose's Kooser neighborhood, has stood since 1945 and offers 100 different fruit varieties. Known for its stone fruit like apricots and peaches, it's not just a farm but a community hub where locals shop for high-quality produce. As the urban landscape changes, the farm continues to attract longtime customers and new visitors, thanks to its rich legacy and dedication to fresh, local foods. The family operates a beloved farm stand, enhancing the local shopping experience.
Phil Cosentino, the second-generation owner, expressed, "It's gratifying that I have something no one else has, and I enjoy sharing it with people."
Kari, one of Phil's daughters, highlighted, "We're tucked away in a neighborhood to this day, no one stumbles upon us by accident."
The orchard has stayed a community pillar since 1945, embodying the spirit of local farming against the backdrop of urban expansion.
Kim Wahl noted, "I used to live in the neighborhood," reflecting the farm's enduring appeal to longtime customers.
