The Grower-Shipper Association of Central California (GSA) is a regional trade association with a mission to advance families, food and farming in our region. Founded in 1930, today the organization represents 300 members which consist primarily of farmers, shippers and processors of fruits and vegetables produced in Monterey, Santa Cruz, San Benito and Santa Clara Counties. As part of our mission, GSA is dedicated to providing solutions-based programs and services covering diverse areas, such as protecting farm workers from the spread of COVID-19 through innovative housing, testing, education programs and mass vaccination clinics; efforts to address the challenges of water supply and improving water quality, food safety and security; and pest and disease management and prevention.
