You've heard of America's breadbasket. Well, today we're in America's lettuce bowl - California's Central Coast and Central Valley.
First, we're picking up lettuce in Lompoc, CA, which is on the coast just north of Santa Barbara and west of Santa Ynez, CA. You may know the area as the location of President Reagan's ranch and the Danish town of Solvang.
Driving through the area we've seen fields of lettuce, peppers, and artichokes. The fields sit on a large flat plain between the ocean and the coastal hills.
After we pick up the lettuce, we're going to Arvin (just south of Bakersfield) to pick up fresh carrots. From there, it's onto Detroit by early Monday morning.
