Suburb of LA? Orange County, California, USA is more than an appendage of our large neighbour to the north! (splashing cold water on my face to quench the steam escaping from my nostrils)
There are still strawberry fields in Orange County, as a matter of fact there's one less than 2 miles from my house. Of course, it's a little disconcerting in this part of the world to walk three blocks from a 20-story building (which, in parentheses, hosts the local Oracle sales office) and see a large agricultural field.
