A 'Wet' Vacaville During a 'Dry' USA / Rico, John [924] [RICO-1979-924]
"STUFF" THAT CAME TO PASS - In the early days of the fruit industry in Vacaville, ranchers took advantage of the virgin soil and planted some of their acreages to vineyards.

The orchards in the Vacaville Township were abuzz with activity and making the farmers plenty of money most seasons. Would-be fruit ranchers were anxious to try their hand at this successful business. For $15,000, one of the best fruit ranches could be had.

High Winds, Fire, Dry Grass: Black Thursday / Rico, John [914] [RICO-1979-914]
A DAY TO REMEMBER - The sun was shining brightly over Vacaville on that September 16th back in 1965, but it was barely visible. It was being blotted out by dense clouds of smoke. The Black Thursday fire was on a rampage, and men and machines were helpless to stop the fiery tongue as it worked its way south toward Vacaville.

Peaches occupy a sweet slice of history / Goerke-Shrode, Sabine [659] [WAYITWAS-2006-659]
Summer is slowly drawing to an end. I measure the season's progress by the fruit varieties. The last couple of weeks, my family enjoyed Suisun Valley Fay Elberta peaches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; fresh, baked, poached and any other way possible.
