Highlights of Monterey Tours
DOLE Salad Plant—DOLE Salads are kept fresh through carefully controlled refrigeration at every stage of produc-
tion. In addition, DOLE Salads are washed, cut, packaged and shipped in refrigerated containers within hours of
harvesting. To further ensure freshness from farm to table, the salads are packaged in specially designed
"breathable" bags, which allow the vegetables to maintain freshness for an extended period without the use of pre-
servatives.
.
Ocean Mist Farms—Artichokes are meticulously planted, cultivated and then harvested strictly by hand. The fla-
vorful and famous Green Globe variety descended from rootstock planted by Italian immigrants at the end of the
19th Century in the Central Coast of California. The group will go out to an artichoke field to see how they are
grown and harvested. Fields could be muddy, so dress accordingly.
.
Monterey County Ag & Rural Life Museum—MCARLM’s interpretive period is the last quarter of the 19th century
through World War II. The collections are principally agricultural related implements, house museum furnishings,
and historical objects related to specific local history.
.
Soledad Mission (self-guided walking tour) - Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad, La Misión de María
Santísima, Nuestra Señora Dolorosísima de la Soledad, was founded October 9, 1791 by Fermín Francisco de
Lasuén, the 13th of 21 missions in the California mission chain. In 1954, when the Mission Soledad restoration was
begun, only piles of adobe dirt and a few wall sections from the cuadrángulo (quadrangle) remained. The chapel
was reconstructed and dedicated under the auspices of the Native Daughters of the Golden West on October 9,
1955. The ruins of the quadrangle, cemetery, and some of the outer rooms, while not restored can still be seen.
Governor Arrillaga's grave was identified and given a new marker. The Mission Nuestra Señora de la Soledad is
now a functioning Catholic chapel and public museum.
.
King City Nursery—KC nursery is grows vegetable transplants facility. The tour will encompass the process of
prepping transplants for early planting.
.
Gills Onions—Gills Onions convert 100% of the daily onion waste (up to 150 tons) into ultra-clean energy and
cattle feed, Gills Onions has always had a passion for exploring new technologies and ideas to maximize conserva-
tion and efficiency in all areas of operations. Through innovation & technology they now operate one of the largest,
most innovative and sustainable fresh-cut onion processing plants in the world. You will learn how they convert their
waste materials to fuel for their SoCal facilities.
.
Yesterday's Barn—The north county tour lunch stop is called Yesterday's Barn. Norm Braga started his collection
of tractors and antiques many years ago. He built one barn to house his things and quickly realized he needed an-
other barn for more of his tractor collection. The ceiling of patriotic signs over the bar are from 9/11. Norm provided
school children with sheets of plywood and paint for them to express their feelings. Originally posted along the free-
way, Norm kept them and used them in his barn. You will have the opportunity to browse the barn after your lunch.
[Please note that the contents of the bar is off limits.]
