Research the early beginnings of the California Asparagus industry. Who were the first people to started to grow Asparagus?|||The earliest recorded information on California states it was first grown in California was in the northern delta in 1852. The market was strictly local until August 1900. On that date, the first trainload of asparagus was sent east. Shipped from the Hickmott Cannery on Bouldin Island, the twenty carloads began a marketing revolution. With the easy and regular availability of canned asparagus, Americans across the country fell under the spell of nature's most perfect vegetable.
You can do more research on this online...quite interesting reading if I say so myself.
