"No, Underwood Family Farm technically isn’t an apple orchard, but it is a fantastic year-round farm and one of the best overall fall activities you can do in LA. Located just a 45-minute drive away in Moorpark, Underwood’s farm includes U-pick vegetables (check their website for what’s in season), a pumpkin patch, wagon rides, and a daily farmers’ market as well. Tickets are required during their fall harvest festival." - brant cox

"A family-run pepper farm that grew the red jalapeño peppers used by the Sriracha maker, it spent years preparing future crops and ultimately sued and countersued over the partnership’s collapse. A jury found the manufacturer breached a verbal contract and owed the ranch for two years of lost income, awarding a total judgment that, after deductions, amounted to $23.3 million. The trial highlighted the personal side of the dispute: decades-long ties between the ranch family and the sauce company’s leadership—described as being “like family” and including attendance at family weddings—gave way to litigation over crop preparations, contracts, and unpaid costs." - Jenny G.

"A large pepper grower that at one point produced roughly 100 million pounds of peppers a year and derived about 75% of its 2014 revenue from a supply arrangement, the ranch cultivated ripe red jalapeños exclusively to meet the processor’s needs. The parties’ practice involved the grower estimating production costs, the buyer paying in installments, and year-end reconciliations, but the relationship collapsed into competing lawsuits: the grower says it is owed roughly $20 million for costs incurred preparing the 2017 crop and accuses the buyer of breaching the agreement and forcing layoffs, and has even launched its own sriracha product while taunting that without its peppers the sauce is “just another condiment.”" - Jaya Saxena
