Castroville Shorts

Description: Castroville, California

Description: The annual Artichoke Festival began in 1959 as a harvest festival to celebrate California’s official state vegetable, the iconic artichoke. Castroville, California, which bills itself as the "Artichoke Center of the World," sees artichoke fans and foodies from around the world make their way to Monterey County each year, and the festival has grown so large that it has been moved out of the town, into a nearby convention center.

Description: VINTAGE

Description: A vintage-inspired tribute to Castroville, California, where artichokes became more than a crop—they became a local identity. This 1959-style agricultural emblem combines a bold globe artichoke illustration, classic California farm-poster typography, and old-school harvest festival character for a piece that feels like a forgotten souvenir from the golden age of American roadside agriculture.
