Agriculture
Ranches--Limoneira
A lemon orchard with trees in perfect rows stretches off into the distance where it backs up into mountains. A dirt road in the far left cuts the orchard in two and is dotted with electric poles. A pair of brown houses sit in front of the left portion of the orchard. The front of the right-hand house is so covered in white flowers that only the steps leading up to the porch can be seen. On the dirt road beyond the fence of the two houses is a cart filled with crates of lemons, being pulled by two donkeys/mules. The right side of the orchard has several houses lines up in front, of various colors and heights, each with a perfectly squared-off grassy front lawn out front.
