"Paris or Fresno, which to choose?" In the early 1900s, immigrants were falsely promised an Eden in the Central Valley, California. But after years of hard labor and experimentation, they made this dream a reality: bit.ly/2Hye4wo @arax_mark

It's an important conversation to have - thank you for sharing my latest article @PacificStand.
California farmers are breeding grapes to taste like cotton candy, as part of a longstanding tradition of altering nature to suit human interests. But where do we draw the line on agricultural experimentation? @arax_mark bit.ly/2Hye4wo

Just last week I was on the phone with a farmer, contemplating the origin of this mysteriously popular grape. Little did I know "The Dreamt Land" would provide a full explanation! Thank you @Ryanj899 and @arax_mark for today's excerpt. psmag.com/environment/the-sc…

Then a friendly and sophisticated woman stops to encourage me to try these #grapes. In the name of science (and farm revenue), I bought a shockingly costly bag. Sweet taste, but nothing ever as good as a tiny yellow Thompson fresh off the vine. #ThinkingOfDad
