Capital Press: "Western Innovator: Unique crop adds spice to farm"
KELSEYVILLE, Calif. — When Simon Avery and Melinda Price were considering going into farming, they wanted to find a unique crop, not one that hundreds of other farms across California were already growing.
The pair met in 2016, and their conversation had turned to farming and finding that niche crop.
They ruled out several options. Mushrooms were eliminated because they involved working inside a dark warehouse. Hops need too much water, and vanilla was not suited for the Northern California climate.
