"Orchard of Gold" by Eddie Zamora

An "orchard of gold" from the Central Valley of California. The photo was taken between the towns of Sanger and Reedley which are located in Fresno County. Agriculture is the main industry of the Central Valley and stands in stark contrast to the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 2014, Fresno County surpassed $7 Billion mark in gross value of all agricultural based commodities. Almonds, grapes, poultry and milk lead the agricultural values. In total Fresno County is home to 1.88 million acres of fertile farmland. Not only are the orchards beautiful during the fall, but are in full bloom during the spring.
