just on the west side of phoenix, there were massive orange groves, most of which were taken out in the name of sprawl decades ago, but still. more recently I drove by a big onion farm on my daily commute, which was cool until the end of the season when whatever was left sat and rotted, due to reasons. I don't know why they don't talk about hot rancid onion air in the travel brochures

the grocery stores in the last few years also got very excited about marketing local produce, e.g. peppers, corn, lettuce

in the not-exactly-a-farm category are vineyards and horse ranches, maybe that's where the "farm" establishing shot came from

I didn't know you could grow oranges with so little rain! That's really interesting. Not as interesting as a hot onion smell, but pretty good
