You couldn’t call yourself a cowboy in the Old West if your diet didn’t consist of beef, beans and potatoes. Yes, there is protein and vegetables there, but where are the options? This was the time before Tanimura & Antle graced us with their fresh varieties of lettuce, broccoli, onions and more, so those old westerners can be forgiven – the company’s founding families have farmed in the Salinas Valley for more than 90 years, just missing out on that bygone era. In fact, these families helped make the modern farming era. Tanimura & Antle grows its produce on ranches throughout Monterey County, and across the Imperial Valley and into Arizona. Chances are that lettuce you had in your sandwich for lunch today was grown locally.
