Welcome
"In Yolo County, we've enjoyed organic fruits, vegetables and nuts for more than 30 years at the Davis Farmers Market, been able to buy lug boxes of dead-ripe fruit at local fruit stands and sample some of the best tacos north of the border...Living in Yolo County is a lot like living in Provence, without the three hour lunches... " Georgeanne Brennan and Ann M. Evans, Convivium Co-Leaders, pictured at left with author Michael Pollan.
