California Grown Holds ‘Agri-Tours’ for Social Media Mavens
Ah, avocado toast. The trendy brunch food is one of my favorite go-tos, although I’ve been told it’s also the reason — at $10 a slice — I can’t afford to buy a home anytime soon, maybe ever. Well, that and I grew up during the Great Recession compounded by life in a city that touts one of the highest living costs in the nation.
Although my love affair with expensive toast and inability to afford a home backs up my millennialness more than my actual age does, I was the most un-millennial person at Four Seasons hotel Thursday morning, munching on salmon avocado toast with some 10 influencers around the table.
It was a media breakfast sponsored by the California Department of Food and Agriculture intended to introduce the California Grown agriculture tour — a tour for influencers to visit local farms and try a variety of their produce in all its photogenic glory.
