Yuma's claim to fame is being the Vegetable Capital of the country. This is true. It's not unusual to see a field of broccoli or lettuce growing in the middle of town and along nearly every highway leading into the city. It's always awe-inspiring to be greeted by vegetable fields as we arrive for the winter. Throughout our stay, we watch as the fields are cultivated, planted and harvested and then the whole procedure starts over again. Fresh broccoli, lettuce, onions, cabbage, etc. are available all winter at very reasonable prices. Frequently, a kind worker even delivers boxes of veggies to our RV park free of charge. Those free ones REALLY taste good!
