Original Note:
Gomez implies that the farm in the video, Glass House Farms, grows strawberries. It doesn't. It grows cannabis and is one of California’s largest cannabis farms. Houweling, the producer of tomatoes and cucumbers on that site, officially ended its operations in 2024. https://www.cannabisbusinesstimes.com/us-states/california/news/15693416/glass-house-brands-completes-55-million-square-foot-southern-california-greenhouse-facility-acquisition https://www.vcreporter.com/news/going-from-red-to-green-glass-house-converts-a-tomato-farm-to-a-high-tech/article_6e82ad14-b1a6-5bd2-b698-39a5a4602bdc.html https://apnews.com/article/california-farm-immigration-raid-d58bb572cd1638c2c4b8d3ef26c2b430 https://www.sfgate.com/centralcoast/article/ice-raid-at-california-cannabis-farm-20765403.php https://www.pacbiztimes.com/2024/10/02/houwelings-takes-final-step-out-of-ventura-county/
