Lompoc Agricultural Legacy

Lompoc's Old Town Market today was a salute to the agricultural heritage of the valley. The historical society's table featured a butter churn and also a seed planter that had belonged to the man who brought sweet-pea flowers to the valley. I published and distributed a little zine with Gentle Heart Farm's homemade butter recipe in it. The River Bottom Boys (nickname for the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Assn., Inc.) were exhibiting tractor and giving hayrides at the event. My zine mentioned their amazing BBQs. I got to sample their wares at the historical society's own BBQ last June. I can attest to their reputation being well deserved.
