Ten crops of the Yakima Valley 

In my novel Nearly Canaan, Joshua and Jaya settle into a place unlike anything they would have imagined. It’s desert, for one thing, where nearly everything has to be irrigated, for another. Quite simply, it’s a lot like Yakima, in the middle of Washington state and an agricultural mecca.

Besides the well-known crops of apples, hops, and grapes, let’s consider:

1. Barley
2. Peaches
3. Nectarines
4. Pears
5. Apricots
6. Cherries
7. Mint
8. Asparagus
9. Eggplant
10. Hay

Not necessarily in that order.
