SACRAMENTO – The California State Fair is accepting applications for membership to the prestigious California Agricultural Heritage Club, or CAHC.

The CAHC recognizes businesses in agriculture that have been in operations for 100 years or longer. Ag businesses who are celebrating benchmark anniversaries for 125 years, 150 years and 175 years in California’s largest industry are also eligible to be recognized.

Since its inception in the 1940s, the CAHC has established a legacy of honoring centenarian businesses in California that have consistently maintained agriculture production.
