When you think of California, the first thoughts aren’t of lush farmland. At least, not when I think of California. Much of the area surrounding Monterey is produce. Much of the land in the middle of lower California is orchards (like my territorial designations?). And a lot of the land we drove through on the wayContinue reading “California Farmland”
