One day we were at Sam’s Club in Phoenix in the produce section. I decided to do an unscientific survey by reading the boxes of produce and finding their sources.

Peaches - Dinuba, California.
Apricots - Reedley, California.
Strawberries - Watsonville, California.
Grapes - Bakersfield, California.
Nectarines - Sanger, California (where I live).
Garlic - Gilroy, California (actually grown in Hanford).
Oranges - Fresno, California
Avocados - Watsonville, California
Tomatoes - Modesto, California
Cherries - Sacramento, California

I want to go over to this rise near the foothills this week and take a picture of the fields of beautiful orchards all in blossom - white and pink everywhere! I’ll post it here next week.

Google “Blossom Trail” Fresno and you’ll see the enormous agricultural treasure we have here. All ready to be destroyed for the Delta smelt!

The libs in the bay area and LA hate us because we are conservative, and they want to drive us all out of the Central Valley.

I would say it was more scientific than the Goober-mint surveys I’ve seen over the last few years...
