California is the largest producer of many foods–milk, cheese, almonds, table grapes, wine...the list goes on and on. It is no wonder that something so vital to the state’s economy and global health should be recognized and honored. It has been for years with the Heidrick Ag Center in Woodland, California.

Now there’s another museum launched in September 2011 to honor California’s great agricultural heritage. Santa Paula is home to Museum of Ventura County Agriculture Museum, one of several unique museums in a city well worth a Central Coast visit.
