It is certainly the case in the Central Valley in California. I got great wine grapes for $1/pound as well and wonderful organic persimmons for that same price. However, that area has a bunch of actual farmers.

Shiva is a great guy. I strongly encourage readers to watch or listen to him actually speak, rather than get that third-hand. I'm glad that he won against Gawker and am cheering for him to defeat Elizabeth Warren for Senate. He is the
