For years I've been buying strawberries, blackberries and blueberries from Elizabeth who runs the…read moreberry stand every Wednesday at the farmers market outside the VA medical center on 42nd Ave & Clement Street. It's amazing how lucious her strawberries are and how long they last - and even longer when I wrap them in a paper towel and keep them in the refrigerator. Rebecca also taught me to freeze them by placing them on a baking pan near each other but not touching. A few hours later after they're frozen I just put them in a plastic bag and keep them in the freezer.  My wife and I have made strawberry jam, preserves, smoothies, and strawberry sauce for pancakes and waffles, and a neighbor I shared somer with made a cake - see below. Only thing that exceeds the quality of Madina Farms berries is how kind and sweet Rebecca herself is! I don't think she even owns the berry farm but is probably an employee. Yet she treats the produce and her customers as if she has no greater pleasure in life but to watch us enjoy and dine on her precious and delicious produce. If you work at the VA or if you're privileged to get your medical care there like me, a Vietnam Vet, or are just in the neighborhood, stop by on any Wednesday before she packs up her van at 1 PM and treat yourself!

Thankfully they were open because it was a bit of a drive to get here! The farm owner was friendly and helpful. The strawberries were also very delicious and large compared to the ones I picked from Brentwood. I'd definitely return in the future.

How about 'em apples? They are in season right now!…read more We were driving down the road, and seen such an abundance of apple trees along both sides, covered in ripe fruit, in all shades of the color palette between green and red, tons and tons of apples on, and under the trees, we just had to stop. So here we are, at the Bella Farms stand, where things seem pretty simple. You could pick up your apples from the already collected pile inside the box, or you could climb the ladder up the nearest tree and get yourself some fresh ones. Several nearby trees had ladders installed on them actually. Self serve $4 per bag this year. Pretty good if you ask me! Thank you, Chuck & John Bella from Bella Farms, for keeping your apple orchards and taking care of them! We appreciate your work and access to fresh crispy fruit.

I was picking up some avocados at the Farmer's Market when off to my left I hear, "Are you looking…read morefor something when you stare into my eyes?" The guy stood there frozen, his only response was a weak,"Huh?" "Are you looking for something when you stare into my eyes?" repeated the heavily tattooed avocado girl. I think the dude had misinterpreted her come-on as an accusation because he could only stammer out,"I didn't realize I was staring." I watched this scene unfold as I absent mindedly plopped avocados in my bag. I could do this with confidence because Will is obsessed with avocados. Each one is perfect. He handles each one like it's a baby chick. Don't even think about placing a bag on his avocados either and to be perfectly honest, he kinda LOOKS like an avocado. He was wearing a green polo today. Perfect. That's dedication. Anyway, before I know it the tattooed avogodess and the stunned customer are trading phone numbers. So if you're ever at the Farmer's Market on Saturday at the Ferry Building go grab one of Will's avocados and you might even pick up a sweet ass come-on line.

The very best avocados at the Farmers Market, and some of the best clementines in all of California.read more

They have a cool scavenger hunt, Harry Potter themed. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves there. Great photo op spot.

This was such an amazing Fall experience that I highly recommend!…read more Purchase your tickets tickets on their website via Event Brite for an hour slot on the weekend . Tickets are $7/adult which pays for the first lb, and after that it's only $2/lb for organic apples!! The GPS takes you to 1875 Hames Rd which is their house, so keep driving down Hames, you'll pass some horses on the right, and then you'll see the entrance to the apple orchard. Drive through the path to reach the parking lot. You check in at the barn. There are porty potties with hand-washing. It is 17 acres of apple orchards to explore! We came pretty late in the season, but there were still plenty of beautiful, crisp, juicy, perfectly sweet apples (we picked 11 lbs!!) In September they had Gala apples, and in October thy had Fuji apples this year. I had gone berry picking with my kids in the past and wasn't sure if they'd be able to reach apples, but actually all the trees are super short, the apples grow so low to the ground my 2 and 4 year olds had no problems picking all the apples they wanted! The only thing was that the weeds grow pretty high in the aisles, which makes it a little bit of an adventure to trek through- I would recommend long pants. Karell the owner is super friendly, talked to us about the farmland and apples, and was very kind to our kiddos. You can also walk over to their stables to see their horses and feed them apples. Sign up NOW if you want to make the last pickings of 2021! Otherwise we'll see you there in 2022 for sure!
