It’s peak season for cherries right now in the CA Central Valley where farm workers get $6.50 for every 23 lb bucket they fill. CA grows 80,000 tons of cherries per year with the help of an immigrant labor force - because cherries don’t pick themselves!

Did you know that California grows 80% of the nation’s citrus and is second only to the state of Washington in sweet cherry production? Your vitamin C comes courtesy of an immigrant labor force who does the backbreaking work of harvest.

What’s up? Coffee, that’s what’s up. Got Wordle in 2, (thanks #coffee) Tariffs kick in today, so I may need a second cup - while I can still afford it.
