Sales people show up for work. They are on the phones immediately, taking orders from supermarkets throughout the San Francisco Bay area. They are selling salad mixes, green leafy vegetables, squash, and herbs.
Pickers arrive for work.
Out in the fields, in groups of a dozen or more, they fill the orders, picking lettuce for the salad mix first. Wagons loaded with lettuce start returning from the field. Intense cold air pulls the heat out from within the lettuce plants to keep them fresh. Salad crews take over the newly harvested crops. Leaves are cleaned, dried, and a dozen varieties of lettuce and greens are blended into the salad mix.
