Old McDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O is the tune so familiar to our little toddlers, but living in the suburban area of Torrance, CA, rarely do you really see a farm. Probably the closest we get is the local farmer’s market where the fresh fruits and vegetable travel a few hours in a truck to arrive at the market. So, in an effort to show Emanuel where our produce really come from, we went to a farm.
Nestled in Moorpark, CA, there is a large farm called “Underwood Family Farm.” Only 1 hour and 20 minutes from Torrance, CA, the drive was an easy drive from the 405N to the 118W. The farm is straight off the freeway and very easy to find. Upon arrival, you will pay a $3 per person entrance fee weekdays and $6 for weekends. You pay for what you pick and the prices of all the items are listed on the map and on a sign near each patch. Then you’ll be directed to where you can pick up a little red wagon, plastic bags and containers to fill with the veggies and fruits of your choice.
