Plums, fresh fruit, raisins, wine. Before Napa and all this popularity with wines, our valley furnished the nation with wine and champagne. In the summer, you could smell the fruit ripening while driving your car down the country roads. With the windows down, you could feel the coolness from the ditch water irrigating the land and smell raisins drying in the sun and tomatoes ripening,” shares Lucinda. “Family farms, not factory farms, are the backbone of this country.” Getting back to the basics is what Lucinda is all about. Growing up on the farm, Lucinda is also an animal lover and owner of California Cowgirls Unlimited. Lucinda got into songwriting with Gale, who was married to the late actor David Carradine.
