Farmers are growing coffee in California

Description Angle down icon An icon in the shape of an angle pointing down.

Though coffee is traditionally grown in the equatorial region of the world, farmers have found a way to grow the beans in America. Coffee is now being grown on a five acre plot of land near Santa Barbara, California. Despite the local drought, the farmers have developed a specialized irrigation system to help the beans grow to peak perfection. The beans are in such high demand, they've been sold for $60 per pound.
