It's a presentation you'll be sure to gobble up! The Vaccaro's will recount how what began as a family-owned-and-operated asparagus farm during World War I (back when property was selling for $25 an acre in Torrance on the "flat land" and $10 an acre on "the hill"), grew to become a full-time turkey ranch after World War II. Located on Victor Street in West Torrance, the Mira Loma Turkey Ranch provided fresh turkeys to the South Bay for 38 consecutive years before closing their doors in 1986. The Mira Loma Turkey Ranch was long lasting, but . . . over time, property was sold off, and soon houses and schools (West High School and Victor Elementary) replaced turkeys, asparagus, strawberry, and flower farms. http://www.torranceca.gov/events/webevent.plx?cmd=showevent;eventID=45120;token=guest.fb84b11ed905a78c7ffca964cb57b8b0 Tammy Khan Date: Tue, Feb 15, 2011 Description: Every Tuesday in Torrance, is for the Torrance Unified School District's "Save Our Schools" fundraising effort.
