The broccoli and cauliflower gang had a connection with Asia. A good share of the local harvests were picked the way Asia preferred it and it went straight to the port for a sea voyage and premium $$$. Some of the elevated portions of the valley are lost sand dunes from the beach. A real PIA to construct anything on but the strawberries love it. The grape vineyards have passed their 30 year life cycle and most have been pushed up in piles and burned. Who knows what crop will take their place while the soil rebuilds.
