Week One: Paul Starrs and Peter Goin, Field Guide to California Agriculture
Growing up in California, I never quite realized the benefit of living in a place with such diverse agriculture. This time of year, for example, the clementines popular on the East Coast are from Morocco or Spain. In California, however, they come from Placer County, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In the picture: garlic in bins from the San Joaquin Valley, in Gilroy, CA.
