Changes to Office Hours
Our UCCE Office is now open to the public: M-F, 8am to 5pm.
PLEASE NOTE: although our doors are open, we are still following recommendations from the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources Division and San Joaquin County Public Health. This means our Farm Advisors are still working remotely to meet your needs so, please contact them directly before coming to our office or dropping off any samples.
At this time, we are not accepting non-commercial samples. For all questions regarding home gardens, backyard fruit trees, household pests, etc. please call our Master Gardener Office at (209) 953-6112 or e-mail them at anrmgsanjoaquin@ucanr.edu.
For all other inquiries, call us at 209-953-6100.
We appreciate your understanding of the situation and we look forward to being able to return to normal operations as soon and safely as possible. Thank you.

UC Davis Professor Jason Bond: Why Taxonomists Are Sorely Needed
