CDFA secretary Karen Ross (front, 5th from left) is with CA Grownthis week in in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties to meet with food and lifestyle bloggers and show them some of the best of California.
One stop was at Houwelings Tomatoes in Camarillo. Houweling’s grows hothouse tomatoes using one-sixth of the water of traditional in-ground methods, with a much greater yield.
Another stop was at Good Land Organics in Goleta, grower of the first California-grown coffee.
