I used to live in Tracy. I don't miss much from my days in CA, but the Farmer's market on Saturday morning had the best fresh fruits and vegetables I've ever eaten. I specifically remember the asparagus. Obviously the largest grower in the Sac area doesn't do Farmer's markets, but I can imagine the growing conditions were ideal.
Are you sick of asparagus? I had a friend in college whose dad was a lobsterman. She hated lobster, mostly because there would be days on end with nothing but lobster in the fridge.
