Coastal Virginia is an area dotted with quaint historic towns, miles of bountiful green fields,
the picturesque Chesapeake bay, vibrant cities, and the majestic Atlantic ocean. Its natural beauty forged by the water, has been a
crucial part of the area's commerce and sustenance since modern man inhabited the area.
Its mild climate also offers a bounty of fruits
and vegetables year round. Some, such as the peanut and sweet potato are long time staples, as others, such as kiwi are newer additions.
