The Olson family cherry stand in Sunnyvale is shutting down. They used to have big cherry orchards right along El Camino. One of the last orchards in the area just got torn out in Los Gatos.
You remember the old dairy herds and their lots off of 237? or the sausage plants off of 1st street? They smelt real good sometimes.
Having grown up on a Minniesoda dairy farm with all kinds of ‘smells’ around.. it made me feeel right at home when I drove by them and worked nearby. whew. :)
interesting. i did not realize they were still in business!
i remember when SV was mostly all orchards .. then they started planting tract houses in the middle of the orchards, but at first they tended to leave the front of the orchards alone... so they had to put up big bi.lboards with huge arrows pointing into the trees to advertise the presence of the new ticky tacky tracts..... (”New Homes! Only $950 down, NOTHING DOWN TO VETS!”) with a big big arrow pointing into the trees)
