Napa Valley Tomatoes, St. Helena, Ca.

Napa Valley has been an agricultural area since it's settlement in the early 1860's. The soil and weather conditions are conducive to the growth of many crops, from almonds and olives to tomatoes and grapes.

The weekly farmer's markets in St. Helena and Calistoga present these wonders of nature for sale to local residents and farmers as well as restaurant buyers from Seattle to Los Angeles.
