I went on another farm tour in early September in the Capay valley. There are a lot of organic farms in this valley, as well as a large casino (so, so out of place).
On the way, I saw the remnants of a field of corn stalks
And a giant research/food processing facility in woodland
Can you see the chickens in this view?
There it is
I ran across this sign in the fields and was a little tempted to knock out internet and phone service between the east and west coasts, but decided against it
A field of gourds. Mostly winter squashes
Such as this beautiful goose-neck squash
Purple peppers, white peppers, so many free peppers for the picking
They were so good, everyone joined in
This canal runs water through the valley for all the farms
a crossing to get to more fields
Broccoli starting out for the fall
An empty field of former cucumber. Look closely and you might find some old, yellow cucs
Asparagus bushes. Apparently the second year you get the spears
Brussel sprouts
Ripe pistachios, that is why some countries dye the shells red
A little citrus
These candy-stripe figs were out of this world; so sweet and juicy, you could eat a dozen in one sitting. I made an amazing pork roast with them
Butterflies and bees on lavender
They even had a petting zoo and hay rides
I came across this brand new field of endive or lettuce
So cute
