This operation is family owned and operated since 2001, and has a pretty good selection of locally grown fruit and veggies, depending on the season. BEST thing is the prices!! The prices here are generally 50% to 75% better than supermarket prices, depending on what you get. I have been shopping here twice a week for a few months now, and have never yet been disappointed in the quality of their produce. Their friendly service just adds more to the experience, especially if you speak Spanish. They have a variety of stone fruit, such as plums, pluots, peaches, apricots, as well as avocados. They have cauliflower, broccoli, celery, corn, watermelons, and the list goes on. If your Spanish is a bit rusty, come by on Sundays, when Martha, one of the owners' nieces is there. She is a nurse during the week, and her English is perfect. ALL of the family members who work there are friendly and helpful. Even though they are open 7 days from about 8 AM til about 5 PM, I have found that the best days are Wed. and Sun. Do not be afraid to ask if they have fresher specimens of what is on display, they will fetch stuff from the large walk-in fridges, or even let you do that, if you have a mind to freeze a bit! Big plus, they also carry fresh made guacomole, chips, honey, Mexican candies and salsa. I submit to you that it doesn't get any better than this...really!

This is by far the biggest farmers market I've been to and was so happy with the variety.

My wedding would not have been perfect if it wasn't for these three ladies and this supremely fabulous venue. I want to write a whole tale about how wonderful, professional and loving Jessica, Danica and Jessie are but the many other reviews already scream their praises. So I am going to simplify it for you: This was the very first venue I toured. Danica was the very first person I spoke to. Jessie was the very first coordinator I spoke to. I never had a single doubt that I was making the right choice for me and my wedding day. So if you are thinking about this venue for your special day then I suggest going there and meeting them. You will quickly learn that your special day is nothing short of perfection for them. Jessica told me on my wedding day that it is her responsibility to make sure I am having the happiest day of my life and that is EXACTLY what I had. Not to mention that Peacock Farms is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been--- and I got to get married there--- you cannot beat that!

Pattea, the owner, went out of her way to be sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed every minute of our stay.

My friend Pattea Torrence once again created a space of such opulent beauty, yet grounded countryside in this Farm Stay. This is a place for weary souls to come to recover and find nirvana. Every tiny thought has gone into making it a temporary home. A well-stocked pantry, multiple coffee and tea options, many spaces to rest, and voluminous books to read. The inside boasted a cook's kitchen and an art museum quality to the furnishings. The feather bed- neigh every pillow, stuffed with soft down to encourage you to sit, read, recharge. Large country tables invited you to share nourishment and merriment with friends. The outside grounds are a combination of manicured plant perfection, while sprinkled with whimsy. And then a real farm. I made myself lunch from the leftover garden of summer. Plucked straight from the ground. I ate the apple off the tree as I had done as a child. I hugged a calf, took the ducks for a walk, and petted a purring rodent control system. This property was meant for strolling, I wandered by the seed barn, the playhouse, and the door that frames the distant mountains. I found a likeness in the garden. In the berry orchard, flanked by an ancient table with empty wine bottles. The setting was welcoming and capricious. Like everything here, such heart went into making each turn a surprise, yet sumptuous. A hawk screeched and circled above me as I tipped my hat to the woman who gives the world splendor and creativeness every day without regret. Her virtuosity and the magnificence she shares are pure magic. Book your visit NOW to The Bees Knees Fruit Farm, Country House and Special Occasions. #WritingRetreat #BeesKnees #Airbnb #farmstay
