Gearing Up To Harvest
As the air cools and November rolls on, you can feel the hum of harvest season picking up here in the Imperial Valley. Folks are hard at work, getting ready for December when the valley hits its peak, bringing in the crops that have been growing all year. This is what it’s all about — months of planting, tending, and praying for just the right weather, all leading up to this moment.
Our fields are a patchwork of green with crops like alfalfa, lettuce, broccoli, and carrots nearly ready to pull from the ground. It’s a sight to see! Local feed stores are bustling as farmers and ranchers stock up on everything they need, and tractors and trucks are getting tuned up and ready to roll. This time of year, it feels like everyone’s pitching in, doing their part to make sure we’re ready when harvest hits full stride.
Harvest season is more than just a busy time; it’s a point of pride for the Imperial Valley. With each truckload of fresh produce heading out, we’re reminded of the hard work that goes into feeding folks far and wide. December’s harvest is truly a community effort, and it’s a good reminder of what makes the valley special—the people, the land, and the commitment to keep it all going strong.
