Onion Leftovers


The other day I posted a photo of an apple orchard in San Juan Valley. Across from it was this onion field, the crop already harvested. For whatever reasons, these onions didn't make the truck.

Agriculture is the number one industry in San Benito County. According to the 2010 Annual Crop Report of San Benito County, 23,793 tons of bulb onions were produced in 2010, which valued nearly $6.7 million.

  2. Hi oceangirl! Gilroy is 12 miles away. It's in a different county though. Not too many garlic fields there anymore. But, the garlic processing plant is. I like driving by it, especially when I get to the sweet spot where the garlic smells the heavenliest. drooool.
