Delicious fresh vegetables that need to be cleaned- how lucky re we? I really appreciate the recipes too.

We had no idea this market existed but found it on YELP. What a sweet produce market with fair prices. I made some wonderful green salad from the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, snd broccoli. We also got some sweet corn that was really great. The workers provided helpful service. The atmosphere is sort of fairyland with all the green growing stuff. We love that it's open three days a week and has free parking! read more

Finding this space was happenstance as I received a gift certificate to shop here. Wanting fresh berries to top our chia pudding, my cronies and I ventured out to the fruitful farm stand on an early Friday afternoon before I had a train to catch outta town. . We walked the strawberry field and picked our own baskets, then we shopped all the fruit inside. They even offer larger wicker baskets for holding your items. They were busy, but still attentive and efficient. . For all four of us, all of our totals were $30 or less. This will definitely be a regular produce spot now that I've found them! If you're tired of being gouged by grocery store prices, check out these local farmstands you will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent organic produce and lots to choose from. There is even a time of you pick for certain items. Thankful to have such high quality near us read more

Great selection of organic and non organic veggies and fruit. They sell flowers and have independent vendors who offer honey, olive oil and micro greens. They also have fresh bread and pastries on Friday and Saturday. Did I mention you can pick your own berries during the summer ? They even accept Venmo for payment! Highly recommend if you love fresh grown produce. read more

Local Farmer's Market worth the stop, even if you're only visiting the area like we were. Tons of fresh produce, eggs, and bread. Well worth seeking it out. We got some of the sweetest strawberries and blueberries at this little spot. read more

I can't believe I have lived here most of my life and never heard of Halcyon Farms. I was specifically looking for local honey to help my toddler with seasonal allergies when I came across this farm. They sell pesticide free fruits and veggies as well as bread, dates, flowers and eggs. I arrived at 12, when they open, and there was already about 30 people present at this small farm. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Some of the best produce and farm that is representative of locally grown fruit and vegetables. The $20 grab bag they do frequently is really a great deal and I also recommend grabbing a baguette or a sour dough loaf, delivered by Red Bird bakery close by. Fresh eggs, pastries, local sweets are often sold by locals here as well which makes for a nice addition to your basket. All food here is organic and non GMO, pesticide free so rest assured of what you are buying! read more

Nice variety and friendly, helpful staff/family. They stocked their own farm, grown veggies and some local items like yummy bread and honey.

Love the selections. Even found kohlrabi. And the staff is super friendly & efficient too. Kacey Cakes (vegan treats) is there on Fridays. Lots of pumpkins right now for you're looking for them. read more

Shameless 'Foodie' that I am, I get my kicks by going to farmers markets and local farms. This is an organic produce farm stand. I actually feel my endorphins REV-UP when I experience fresh organic fruits and vegetables! Their daily picked organic herbs are pristine! PRISTINE I TELL YOU! Ever taste a "Red Stripe Apple?". Me neither. . . until we visited here. TRY ONE! What FLAVOR! Short season too! I also went berserk here, snatching up perfect, red, FLAVOR BOMB, tomatoes! We ate tomatoes for days! DAYS! If you ever visit the Central Coast, check this out! Tell them, Shameless Foodie sent you! :) read more

Rutiz Family Farms is a great truly LOCAL semi-secret place which is a bit hard to find off Halycion. The turn-off on the Pike is just short of the tiny Post Office. The stand is hidden among a grove of huge original trees. The have hours on only Fridays & Saturdays. For some odd reason the best local stuff is only on Fridays, but they will hold a box for you on Sat, if you let them know. Sometimes they have "pick your own". Their best product is their fresh Apple Juice, which is like Ambrosia. They are better & cheaper than Whole Paycheck & truly LOCAL. They are a good back-up if you miss a local big Farmer's Market.

This is the certified organic farm that has a great variety of vegetables, herbs and berries. We always pick the berries when in season and the flavor is wonderful. None of the monstrous hollow strawberries that have zero taste. The farm stand also sells the artisanal bread and fruit from the local farmers. Our place to go every week. read more

I visited Rutiz and Hayashi in the same day and I'm glad I did. I had a bit of a problem finding the place (my directions sent to to a neighborhood). The stand is on The Pike & Garfield Place. There is a dirt parking lot behind the eucalyptus trees. Unlike Hayashi, patrons are allowed to bag their own groceries, but masks were required and social distancing was suggested. There were lots of yummy fruits and vegetables to choose from. There were also a couple vendors selling miscellaneous things. When compared to Hayashi, the prices were slightly more expensive, but in some regard, it was absolutely worth it. They certainly did not have as big of a selection as Hayashi, but I was OK with that because they had almost everything that I needed. The only thing I was a little bummed about was that nobody was very friendly there. The staff members were talking amongst themselves, but not to me. I was just there. Other than that, the produce that I have consumed so far has been amazing! I will definitely go back. read more

A lucky find. Staying in a hotel but wanted some fresh fruit and veggies. Thrilled with the selection, the quality, and the kindness.

Rutiz Farm, which is now Halcyon Farms is located on the pike in Oceana. They only use organic and pesticide free farming practices so you know the fruits and vegetables you're getting are clean! The strawberries and blackberries are delicious and the best we've tasted in the area. Multiple times a year they will have u-pick for strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. They also have organic eggs and everything else you can think of. Always fresh and pesticide free! The best U-pick and farm stand in the area by far! read more

I have recently started going here and I Love this farm stand! The veggies and fruit are as fresh as you can get! They do not use any pesticides so I highly recommend that you wash all veggies and fruit thoroughly! Especially the lettuce or anything leafy. The prices are pretty good too. With the exception of a couple items i have been able to get all my weekly veggies and fruit from here, read more

I love this little farm. Went for the 1st time on a field trip and absolutely loved it. They sell fresh local produce and also have local vendors sell. They keep scraps so you can feed the chickens. The flowers they sell are gorgeous and when I got some they lasted for weeks. They have pumpkins already which made me very happy. They are larger, small pumpkins and only $1! They only take cash or local checks so make sure you have 1 or the other. The staff is super friendly. I highly recommend this place! read more

The best Organic Farm Stand, located in Arroyo Grande, South of San Luis Obispo. It is incredible! Their weekly $20.00 pre-packed bag is always overflowing with fresh Organic produce - avoid the check out line and drop your $20. in a mailbox set up and be on your way. There are Covid safety rules in place and everyone is so nice! They also have an area where you can pick other items and check out. You can see what's coming up on their Facebook Page :) Our new weekly outing on The Pike in Arroyo Grande! read more

We have bought all of our produce at Rutiz Farms for the past 2 years. Now we are addicted! We can no longer buy anything at the supermarket after being spoiled by the fresh produce at Rutiz. To say that everything tastes fresh is an understatement. There is no comparison. Most store-bought produce now tastes like cardboard to us. If you are looking to improve the taste of your meal, you must shop here. And the added bonus is the friendly and very helpful staff. My pro tip: While everything is priced reasonably, I suggest buying their harvest bag which contains their choice of assorted produce at a cost of 20 bucks. It's a great value and you can try some new things this way. See you at the farm! read more

Amazing local produce!! My favorite local farm to pick up from :) amazing tomato's , strawberries, blueberries and much more produce and it's at a super reasonable Price read more

A very clean and organized stand. There is a limited selection of seasonal fruits and vegetables, a few varieties of freshly baked artisan loaves, some fresh flowers, and berry picking. They also offer eggs but run out quickly so stop by early on for those. CASH ONLY! read more

My son and I visited for the first time the other day and my first impression was good! You could smell the fresh herbs. Everything was displayed nicely and the prices were fairly reasonable. The hours are a little strange so there were a lot of people there and it's a pretty small stand! There was a younger girl with glasses working there who was not friendly at all. My son was standing next to me and apparently she wanted to get under the table where we were standing and she just sighed and stood there until we moved. Um sorry. She didn't smile or look at us...she just looked miserable. It always makes me feel awkward when people working where you are shopping look annoyed and like you are a bother to them. The older woman who checked us out was more friendly. Cash only. There's an ATM down the street at the 7-11 store! read more

Bought flowers for a client. I love how I can pay via Venmo and they have great prices on flowers.

Great farm stand. Produce grown on site. Fresh awesome wood fired oven bread on tuesday and friday from little red hen.

We heard this was a pick your own place and it is, but not all year. We were told that later in the harvest around May through June when tons on berries start coming in, they allow the public to pick their own berries. They have a lot to offer in a small area, including plants to put in your yard. Pretty cool place. Prices comparable to other berry places, but I still didn't buy any berries with them. They also pick the strawberry without the stem attached which means they go bad faster than I can eat them or freeze them. Will go back when they allow people to pick their own! :) read more

My favorite place to pick up fresh pesticides-free fruits and veggies! Rutiz is fun and convenient. Always something tasty and new! Great atmosphere. Everyone is nice and helpful. I haven't went out to pick my own fruits yet but it looks so fun! I usually have Sandals on and in a hurry. Always lots of families having a good time picking berries and what ever is in season. Now, there is an Option to sign up for a "weekly basket" that you can drop by and pick up. Of course, I always get more than just my basket :) Love this place. So happy it's minutes away from my home! read more
