Probably because it's hot and sunny there 9-10 months of the year, which means fresh spinach 9-10 months of the year, for the entire US. And they don't depend on rain for the crops, unlike the East Coast (which has periodic crop failures due to drought). In California, they use irrigation almost exclusively. However, one of the ways that E. coli gets into the water supply out there is from the water runoff from dairy farms, and possibly cattle ranches. A rather artificial way to grow crops.LRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13503848.post-1158901636479199972006-09-22T01:07:00.000-04:002006-09-22T01:07:00.000-04:00You're back.
