His major crop in basil but he has organic tomatoes and others,all grown in hydroponics.Water conservation is the upmost importance in CA.and this guy is doing it. He takes in Veterans from all the wars but most are from Iraq war. One of the Veterans said he was homeless when he got back homeand Colin took him in. This is great!
If you want fresh basil and live in the San Diego area it called Valley Center Farms.
