san diego is unbeatable. but also (as a midwesterner-cum-east coaster before migrating west) the quality of your average vons/albertsons in socal is criminally underrated. You've not actually had a strawberry until you've been to CA. see also bsky.app/profile/fain...

your regular PSA that California grows most of the produce that humans actually eat, not the Midwest www.cdfa.ca.gov/statistics/

Also, most of the produce comes from Central California – not LA or The Bay. I love being up to just roll up to someone's farm and buy fresh figs in their driveway. Ridiculously better than any store-bought figs I've ever had.

i spent 6 years in riverside, and while it's not the central valley, lol boy do i remember the farmers market--all year long! (the CSA during the pandemic was also tops)
