I'm not ranting about the people who grow the produce - .....
I'm frustrated with the QUALITY of the produce !! Tough corn ! Cantelope that tasts like absolutely nothing. Grapes that are bitter and not sweet! ETC.
I'd like to think that California grown produce has some quality control, some laws about the kind of pesticide,
I know my local organic farmers sell excellent produce in the summer & fall.
All that produce shipped from "wherever" is probably picked green, and maybe that's why it is tasteless. My local produce (including from CA) just has that fresh, sweet taste that only vine-ripe fruit has.
