A morning light filters through orchard rows as the tractor trailer pulls away from the farm gate, the air sharp with citrus and ripening stone fruit. Guests climb aboard, baskets ready; the guide points out which trees are at peak and which creekside ferns have pushed up since last season. The day's pace is deliberate—stop, pick, taste, and move—each pause a small, sensory map of the valley.
