It lies 19.2 miles southwest of Rosedale, CA (from Rosedale, CA: bearing 230°T), and is situated 5.2 miles north-northeast of Taft.

The air itself carries the scent of dry earth and the faint, sweet perfume of ripening crops, a subtle fragrance that clings to everything.

It began as a scattering of homesteads, drawn by the promise of fertile land and a climate that favored the growth of a bounty of crops.

You can see it in the careful rows of orchards and the expansive fields that stretch towards the horizon, a testament to generations who have worked this ground.
