    Is that the 101 on the Gaviota coast outside of Goleta? Just made me wish for some nice cool moisture in the air and easy clean breathing....I’m down in Fontana again, or as it’s known “Fontucky”.

    I have to agree the food produced now is much different than what I grew up with but then again we were on a farm and grew /made everything for the most part. The beef now days has no flavor. Organic Bison meat is the closest in taste to what I grew up with. I still make homemade biscuits etc. WHEN I am in the mood.

    My Grandmother had a few acres down in Watsonville. She was signed up with a community vegetable exchange where she would give a couple of boxes/flats of home grown and then get a mixed box back. That was also how that community took care of the shut ins and other folks in need. A couple of times each year every bodies garden was over producing and she would bring us up a couple of flats.

    I grew up in the Santa Clara Valley where we could grow most anything that didn't need a freeze to set. Knew where the old orchard trees were in the neighborhood and would pick a lunch sack for me and a lunch sack for the property owners. Growing up there, we had the benefits of the bounty that was the Central and San Juaquin Valleys just across a 1k foot ridge. Most of the areas now are over run with the Silicon Valley/ Dot Commies and big ag corporate welfare farmers that displaced the folks that knew how to work their land and grow a good product.

    One of the scary examples of big ag is the strawberry growers in Watsonville. A bunch of those Berry farms down there are all plants started from snips from a master plant (or snips from the master plant). No genetic diversity in the fields. Yes you get big berries but they have no flavor. I much prefer the berries grown by the organic crowd that gets sold at all the farmers markets.
