Although this article is nearly three years old, it’s probably even more true today. We used to buy asparagus directly from a packing shed outside Tracy (Crown King or King Crown, or something like that) where they sold it at full retail prices but more of the $$ ended up in the grower’s pockets since they didn’t have to transport it to market. I used to hunt in asparagus fields on Lower Jones Tract, but those fields are now corn, squashes, and tomatoes. It’s just not grown nearly as much as it used to be.
