Out here on the West Coast we can't get any good East Coast produce. No such thing as a fresh Florida orange, for instance; and when I was in upstate New York one fall I was astonished at all the varieties of apples available at farm stands that I'd never seen in Oregon or California. Produce from the Central Valley area of California, however, especially fruit, is wonderful when in season and fresh. Curt's right that what makes all the difference is whether it's picked fresh or picked unripe and thrown on a train car or into a semi for a weeklong trip across the country.
