Good stopping point in Gilroy area for garlic ice cream and local produce. This time of the year - corn was very reasonably priced, other times of year it's likely other produce. Rest of the produce is slightly higher priced than grocery stores - but it's very fresh and super tasty probably because it never had to hit a cold storage. Restrooms are very clean and owners are very pleasant to speak with. read more

Cute little shop with a large selection of local goods including pie, salsa, honey, and garlic ice cream! The owner was super nice and made us feel welcome as we browsed. It was cool inside on a warm day and had a clean bathroom so it's definitely worth a stop on your travels. read more

Pacheco Pass Farmer's Market is a great stop in Gilroy! We loved looking at all the fun things around the market and had a hoot trying the vanilla and chocolate garlic ice cream. Of course it's not my #1 choice in flavored ice cream, but well worth the try at least once! Don was superb, having us guess songs for a free honey sucker stick, which made the time there even more fun. Overall, this was a great experience that I recommend to everyone and anyone to enjoy! read more

Stopped here after the Renaissance Faire to try the garlic ice cream. It's a cute little shop with a lot of local products. It's pretty affordable like most farm stands. The employee was extremely helpful and friendly. Prices were nice and affordable compared to the fair. Drinks are very affordable and lots of frozen treats to cool down after being in the sun all day. I would say it's a nice pit stop if you're just traveling along the highway here too, and there's a restroom. read more

What a great stop!! We were greeted by the sweetest Man who let us use his restroom and we bought some home made quality products from honey to jams. We are so glad we drove by this stand read more

Friendly staff, they have a clean restroom for patrons. They also sell Marianne's ice cream. Lots of jarred items and seasonings. We stopped by for the pink pineapples sadly I think we stopped when it's no longer in season. read more

New Owners! Karli was exceptionally helpful with her knowledge of locally grown produce. This stand is clean, inviting and stocked with yummy produce. I found CA Olive oil, avocados, figs, local honey, peaches, you name it, and my favorite elephant garlic heads! Two thumbs way up!!! read more

This place is amazing!! The gentleman who helped us for super friendly. Even told us how people in the east coast eat pies.... With cheese to each its own. They had a whole bunch of fruit, drinks, snacks ice cream and even the awesome "sh!t" spices. We was sold with the pink pineapple signs and especially the GIZDICH PIE sign. Please don't sell them out now... actually please do. Love this place and how their customer service is. Very home feeling. So glad we stopped by! read more

Lots of locally grown fruits and vegetables. They have pink pineapple!!!! Always wanted to try. $20, if you order one online it's $40 Everything is fresh and delicious, ready to eat read more

After seeing so many signs on the 152, I finally made a pit stop at possibly one of the last areas to pick up fresh produce. I liked how it wasn't a tiny stand and had a real parking lot. Grabbed oranges (5 lbs for a $1!), asparagus bunches for a $1 and hot sauce on sale. The oranges were pretty good, not as juicy as I would've liked. The asparagus was sooo good and wish I got more! Though my drives this way are rare, I will definitely stop by again if I drive past in the future! read more

I had to make many trips from Salinas to Napa several years ago. And it was always fun to pull in here for a rest stop and some fun shopping. This way I always arrived with some fresh fruit and vegetables. My dad always appreciated the fresh groceries. It was always fun to figure out what kind of gourmet meal we could come up with next. This place always carries the freshest produce in town I miss not being able to shop here anymore since moving to Palm Springs. read more

This is a very good fruit stand. It has a very organized operation for visitors. This includes portal potties and hand cleaning stations. Several murals for pictures with the family. To top it off, the fruits here are tasty and exotic. We really enjoyed our visit here and took home with us some very nice Bing cherries. I highly recommend this farmer's stand to families who plan to travel through this area. read more

You'll find many produce stands on hwy 152 but Pacheco's is the only one (IMO) with the freshest, well organized, and, best selection of seasonal and non-typical produce (as of this review 9/21 they had dinosaur plums, donut peaches, kiwi cherries & more). They sell a little bit of everything here: seasonings, pickled veggie sorts, pasta sauces, jams, salsas, nuts, jerky, popcorn, chips, dried fruit, etc. This stand is my go to when traveling back to LA from the Bay area. There's ample parking, Porta Potties, a wash sink, & cut out picture ops available. Its a good pit stop to stretch your legs, buy some snacks n' Sh*t & take some pics. Don't find yourself buying too much, remember it's fresh produce. So if you don't store it right on your drive home, or eat ASAP, it'll go bad. read more

Good parking and has a port a potty for free. However most of the fruit we got were rotten. Their bagged fruits are not local too and not the freshest. read more

So many signs off the 152 for produce. The 10 limes for $1 definitely had my sister stopped by this place. Located right off the 152, plenty of parking in front of the store. The store has lots of different produce, (apples, oranges, vegetables, etc) all very reasonable price! We purchase a braid of garlic! Garlic is definitely tasty! read more

It's hard not to love this place, they have an amazing selection of fresh produce and locally sourced snacks for cheaper than many others in the area. This is one place that I always try to stop at when I am passing through, as they carry my favorite spicy pistachios, garlic ice cream and some of the most tender jerky options around. When I first stopped here it was to obtain some of the highly coveted cotton candy grapes, but sadly they had sold out for the day, but no matter because I was able to get my hands on a Pink Glow pineapple, which is more flavorful and tangy than other varieties. read more

The yellow watermelon was so good I had to pick one up and give some to friends and family you should try them out and one of the workers so nice to show me the best yellow watermelon!!!!!!! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got so much fruit for less than $15 make sure you go to the bargain table you'll get great deals. I got a box of guava, apricots, and strawberries for ONLY $2!!!! I also got a box of peaches, nectarines, and 5 mangoes for ONLY $3! I got a golden melon for $1.79 and papaya for $1.50. I also got beef jersey for $2. It's a trek to get there but absolutely worth it. read more

After years of driving past this place, we finally decide to stop. This place is adorable and well stocked! I especially like the wall of hot sauces. There is also a shelf showcasing the town's local favorites! If I remember correctly, make sure you carry cash. Items range from very cheap to a little pricy. The most expensive goods are things like a large tub of honey comb drenched in honey. I bought a bag of avocados for less than 3 bucks, I can't be mad at that. I will say though, the best and worst thing I bought here was thier garlic ice cream. I had been wanting to try this for years. You can buy a small cup of this for roughly 3.99 in vanilla or chocolate. I bought vanilla. So, this has a REALLY good ice cream base. Sweet with that heavy cream taste I personally crave. But then, it's like you've bitten into raw garlic, the flavor gets very intense. We had to roll the windows down, the garlic smell was so strong. My friends tried it and were horrified. One of them was getting flashbacks of when his roommate spilled garlic sauce all over this freezer. Making everything taste of garlic from then on. The others simply made faces. NO ONE had gum and everything smelled of garlic. We had to choose between rolling the windows down and being cold, or living in garlic. I kept eating it because I've been raised on garlic and paid roughly 3.99 for the cup. I'm no quiter. Overall, I like this place. It supplied my friend's and I with a hilarious experience i will look back on fondly. Next time, I may buy the chocolate flavor... and a pack of gum. read more

Incredible choices! Fantastic prices, delicious fruits and veggies! Service was great! We will definitely be stopping by again!

Our go to for very fresh produce when headed out that way , including elephant garlic! We also stock up on all the SH#t branded BBQ rubs and sauces ( they are soooo good). Unfortunately the last 2 times it has not been open when we tried to go there. I hope it is not closed as this has been a family go to for years and years. read more

Love the Fruit Stand very friendly people just my concern right now are they closing because it's been closed or they going to reopen it no information on their website read more

There's a lot of good sh*t in here. Seriously, I'm talkin' about good sh*t, special sh*t, awesome sh*t, hot sh*t, aw sh*t, bbq sh*t and that ain't no bull sh*t...which they have, too. Don't believe me? Check the pics. I don't know how many times we've passed by this place on our way down to SoCal and back, and I've always wanted to stop by. Don't know why it took so long, but it was worth it. On our last trip to down to San Diego, Wifey saw the sign that read: "Oranges: 7 lbs. for $1" along the road. That was on a Thursday afternoon on March 12th. I've been on an orange craze as of late so we defintely planned on stopping here on the way back home. On Sunday, March 15th, we left San Diego early in the morning as we had made some planned stops along the way, and this was one of them. We pulled in late in the afternoon just before dusk and the place was still busy. Wifey and my Mother-in-law immediately tag-teamed and started filling up bags of oranges while I checked out the rest of the place. That's when I stumbled upon their good sh*t selection. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacheco-pass-farmers-market-gilroy?select=2WL0oXgQExSUdKxE6z0y7g#Byt8_47rrX1qdSdee9NEmA That totally made my day and these would make great gifts. They even have the infamous Garlic Ice Cream, but did not buy this time around since I didn't want to spoil my appetite from all the fresh and organic produce that we were buying. By the time we were finished and loaded our loot in the back of the SUV, we probably had a supply of oranges that lasted us a couple weeks and a tray of strawberries that were gone the next day. I got two growing teenage boys so they decimated the strawberries. I won't mind taking another trip here if we're in the area for the prices alone are worth it. Besides, their sh*t is good. read more

Every time we head up to the Bay Area from SoCal, we've wanted to pass by Gilroy to pick up a garlic ice cream. We finally did that this time, and stopped at the Pacheco Pass Farmers Market. There is a creamy delicious garlicky ice cream (a tiny cup size) for $2.99. I think the price went up! There are 2 flavors, either vanilla or chocolate and we got the vanilla to share. Outside of just ice cream, they sell a slew of organic (?) fruits and vegetables. We bought some fruits, cherries / oranges / and onions, etc. Very affordable prices, too! If you're driving by Gilroy and feeling in the mood for some ice cream, be sure to check out this place for some good eats! read more

Wow there are so many goodies to be found here! My husband I stopped here on our way to Disneyland. We spent around $40 here. We ended up getting grapes, taffy, almonds, peanuts, some trail mix, and other snacks for our road trip. There are many food stands along this area in Gilroy. We stopped at this one in particular because there was lots of easy access parking outside as well as some shady picnic tables where we could stop to eat at. You can get a lot of goodies for not a lot of money. We saw lots of fruits and veggies for really low prices. I wish we could have stocked up more, but we didn't want any of the produce to go bad while we were on our road trip. A must stop for any CA road trip! read more

Stopped by because they had "blueberries $1" and I got some! And raspberries and black berries $1!! Omg awesome! Plus they had garlic honey and garlic ICECREAM!!! Big bananas only 25€! They also had different spots to put your face into to take pictures!! So cool!! great little stop!! read more

Good seasonal selection, not the freshest fruit but a great selection of snacks & dried fruits. Try garlic ice cream--chocolate OR vanilla! Take family fun pictures in the goofy cutouts out front. A roadside gem! read more

Stopped by this little gem on my way back to SoCal. There is a wide variety of fruits and veggies to choose from at some pretty great prices and the cashier was super sweet and helpful. Also there's a bathroom here which was different from other farmers markets that I've stopped at along the way. Will definitely buy goodies from here again if I pass by. Trucker friendly! There's plenty of parking!!! read more

7 avocados for $1? what could go wrong? No but seriously. Some fantastic deals here, and before you start saying that these avocados are much smaller than the mutant ones you get from Safeway, consider that they are locally grown and they are much tastier than most of the larger hass avocados I've had. Groceries and fresh fruit are dirt cheap here, if it wasn't so far away I'd love to shop here more frequently! read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I got almost $200 worth of fruit and veggies for $50! EIGHT AVOCADOS FOR A DOLLAR. You read that right. EIGHT AVOCADOS FOR A DOLLAR. Can you believe that? They have a ton of unique things here as well. I got some great raw, organic honey and a plethora of other goodies. They have fun places for kids to take pics, as well. Super awesome customer service. Make the stop! read more

7lbs of super sweet naval oranges for $1! 7 baby avocados for $1! 1lb of large grapes for 99 cents ..and lots of other great deals going on. We got about 6 bags of delicious fresh fruits for less than $15. What a steal! I would definitely recommend stopping here when you see all the sale signs because unlike some places, they honor what's up there and they've got a huge selection of fruits. My parents go crazy at this place. We've been here for 45 minutes and they've already gone back 3 times to grab more fruit.. read more

"Hey, it looks different in here". We've stopped by several times over the years to pick up gift items for the folks back home. Hot sauces, salad dressings, munchies. Asked the gal working the register and she said that there's new owners and they just took over at the beginning of this month. Took a pass on buying gift items because they no longer have what I was looking for in particular. These flavored salts were somewhat amusing and I almost picked one up. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pacheco-pass-farmers-market-gilroy?select=fQ6D-HCkFyjrLAZ1TsIjMQ#fQ6D-HCkFyjrLAZ1TsIjMQ The munchies was pretty pricey. If we had been on the way home, I would have picked up some produce. The fruits looked really good and the prices were right. read more

Garlic ice cream! Doesn't taste the as good as the one you get at the Garlic Festival though. Good selection of snacks for the road. All the prices are a bit inflated, but nothing too absurd for travelers/tourists. Single picnic table outside. read more

We stopped only to try the vanilla garlic ice-cream. I like it! I really really like it. Granted, my favorite flavor is vanilla and I love garlic in everything... Restroom seems to be open to the public. The staff here seems nice. I don't know...we only stopped for the garlic ice-cream ‍ lol read more
