Oh man. You would go crazy over the corn from LJB Farms in Gilroy this year.
So sweet and crunchy.
Additionally, it’s very difficult to sell crap here as we live next to strawberries, corn, peppers, lettuce, artichokes, brocol6, cauliflower.
I stop at roadside places all the time and grab stuff. They are picture perfect til the end of season and then you get what you get, til growers from other regions ship their stuff In.
But, your desert is drier than our desert.
Only thing I like about Bakersfield is Harris Ranch.
But, you guys also grow potatoes and almonds like crazy there.
And a friend who has one of the largest farms owns water and mineral rights, so they are still watering and growing.
The stuff you can buy from the Mexicans along the road is nice stuff. It’s the farmers markets that have the crap. We have a friend that owns a restaurant out in Lamont which is 98% Mexican. Every time we go out there I stop at one of the roadside trucks and load up.
