Although people think of beaches, suntans and bathing suits,
Virginia Beach is still very much an agricultural community with
farming as one of the top businesses. Now is the time local farmers
are plowing their fields, getting ready for summer crops of corn and
other grains to feed livestock and, of course, for those human
favorites, tomatoes, potatoes, peas, beans and other veggies that
residents like to buy fresh-picked from area fruit and vegetable
stands.
