They have a big garlic festival there every year
It's really crazy how the whole area smells like garlic. That entire region is amazing agriculture. I have a friend in Salinas, and that's literally the nation's garden. My brother-in-law lived in Modesto, where all the tree nuts come from. I remember the first time I saw one of those tree shakers in a pistachio grove. Having grown up around SW VA dairy farms, it was fascinating to see.
