From the New York Times, I'm michael barbaro.
This is the daily for years, a mysterious company has been buying farmland on the outskirts of Silicon Valley, eventually putting together a plot twice the size of San Francisco.
But at every step, those behind the company kept their plans for the land shrouded in secrecy until my colleague Conor Doherty figured out who they were and what they were up to.
Monday, March 11 so, Conor, this story begins as a real estate mystery that you took it upon yourself to try to crack wide open.
So tell us about where this mystery unfolds.
Okay, so if you imagine you're in San Francisco and you drive north, further up into the Bay Area, into an area called Solano county, and then you go way east and you end up in this very rural corner of the bay Area that not a lot of people know about.
And it's over here in this rural corner of Solano county where our story takes place.
And it's these open, sort of rolling landscape of yellow hills with almost nothing on it.
The largest structures there are wind turbines.
And a lot of the families out there are farmers.
They farm sheep, feed crops and cows.
And many of the people out there have been there since, like, the 1860s.
This is a place where families stay in the same place for generations and pass the farms down several times.
