fruit farming

Cultivating edible crops

Fruit farming is the agricultural practice of cultivating fruit-bearing trees, shrubs, and plants for commercial harvest.

It encompasses orchards of apples, citrus, or stone fruits, as well as berry operations and vineyards.

The valley's fruit farming industry depends heavily on migrant labor during harvest season.
