Ocean Mist Farms is a fourth-generation, family-owned grower of premium artichokes and fresh vegetables. Founded in 1924 and headquartered in Castroville, California — the Artichoke Capital of the World — we grow year-round across carefully selected regions to ensure consistent quality, including Castroville, Oxnard, and the Coachella Valley.
Ocean Mist Farms is the largest grower of fresh artichokes in North America. From fresh produce to convenient, ready-to-cook options, we're bringing quality from field to table.
Our vocation is already in our name:
Beachcomber, one who walks along the beach to discover the treasures the sea has left on the shore.
As a Mauritian company, and pioneer of the hospitality industry in Mauritius, we are aware of the gift nature has given us: to live in one of the most beautiful islands of the Indian Ocean.
We have chosen to share this gift with the world by creating a family of resorts, giving our guests the opportunity to live exceptional moments.
We believe that the beauty of our resorts is enhanced by the quality of our service and the kindness of our teams.
It is our belief: the beauty of a place inspires the beauty of the heart.
It is also our promise: to cultivate the art of beauty in all its dimensions.
Our responsibility for the gift that nature has given us is to pass it on to future generations, whilst taking care of each member of our teams.
Each person is, and will remain, a true artisan of Beachcomber's very personal idea of hospitality
Beachcomber, the Art of Beautiful
Bianchi is the most historic and prestigious brand of bicycles. Our heritage, over 140 years strong, started in Milan in 1885 with Edoardo Bianchi, cannot be equalled in the cycling world. Our positioning embodies the best of what Italy can offer to the world: a commitment to build products as artisans - “a regola d’arte”, distinguishing design, style and taste.
Our wide-range of products fans out gradually to meet the needs of the professional and the casual rider, one who loves nature or one who simply wants to move quickly through urban traffic. We provide the ideal bicycle for every type of cyclist.
Edoardo Bianchi said that the best way to test a product was to race it. That’s how the Reparto Corse or Racing Department was born. You can always learn something from man’s extreme fatigue racing a bike. Bianchi has always been able to take full advantage from those sensations and feedback to improve and test every bike thoroughly. Just like in motor racing, we have always had a dedicated division following the riders to improve in competitions. Innovation, science and technology come together with man’s sensations. It is not a mystery that for over 100 years this dedication has allowed our champions to win and enabled Bianchi to deliver excellence.
