I don't know if I came too early in the season or if their strawberries were just not good because the strawberries were definitely on the watery/sour end and did not taste that good overall. I don't think I would return especially when there are better and more proven options just down the coastline.

We recently went strawberry picking with our two-year-old and had a fantastic time. The farm has a…read morehuge patch where you can pick as many strawberries as you like, and the price is very reasonable. Beyond the strawberries, they also offer other organic vegetables and snacks. Just be aware that they only have portable restrooms.

We go cherry picking every year as a family tradition, and this year we decided to try a new farm…read moreand we are so glad we did! We had an amazing time gathering ten pounds of cherries. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and resourceful. We had such a great experience that we're already looking forward to coming back next year. Safety Opportunities: While our experience was wonderful, we did notice a few areas for improvement in terms of safety. The pathways leading to the cherry trees could benefit from some maintenance: trimming weeds, filling in potholes, and general upkeep would help prevent potential trip hazards and make the paths safer for families.

We were carrying diaper bag with water and snacks for our baby and she asked if it was cooler and insisted on checking before entry. When we exited we did not pick cherries and decided and not buy a bag this time. She came running and asked if we got green stickers. Upon explaining her we are not buying them, she gave us a long look and wanted to look in our babys diaper bag again. We showed her and went back to car. Not a pleasant experience.

The Great Dickens Christmas Fair has always been on my list to visit sometime. I am so glad that I…read morefinally decided to go last December. This was my very first time at the fair, so I am reviewing this as a first timer. We got the General Admission tickets, which was $50 per person. There is a cheaper ticket option, but you can't enter until 3pm - I believe. This admission price is separate from the parking pass. Because it was our first time, we wanted the full experience and go right at opening. Usually, I like to do some research to find the must-eats or must-dos, however, I couldn't really find much info so we came in blind. Everything was so nicely decorated! When you go in, you definitely feel like you're in the Victorian era for sure. Mostly everybody was in character and dressed up, so totally recommend dressing up! There were vendors, food vendors, shows, and alcohol. When we got in, we were a bit overwhelmed and overstimulated with everything so we got a map and looked at how we wanted to map out our day. We were hungry so we decided to get meat pies - so we went straight towards the back to all of the food. OMG, we regret only ordering one meat pie because it was yummy and by the end of our day - the line for meat pies was sooooo long. We tried little things here and there, but would recommend getting meat pies. We checked out every vendor, lots of cool things but out of our budget. The shows were a lot of fun - I think we recognized one of the performers from the Renaissance Fair. Anyways - if you're into this stuff and wanted something to do for the holidays, I recommend checking out the Great Dickens Christmas Fair. We had so much fun!

I love the Dickens Fair! I go every year and have a fun time listening to music, eating great food,…read moreand shopping at the large variety of vendors. I suggest coming early as it gets really packed in the evenings. Parking is pricey but worth it so you don't have to park many block away in the residential district. There is a small hill you have to walk up to enter the main event. There are golf carts available with drivers for those needing assistance getting from the parking lot to the main event. Dressing up is optional. There are a lot of vendors to buy pieces of an outfit from if you are interested in dressing up while you are there or the next time you go. Many of the shows have long waiting lines so I suggest coming early if you want to see all the shows. The food area has a large selection of yummy food. My favorites are the meat pies and the fish and chips. I also always purchase a few bags of the roasted almonds. I usually end up eating a whole cone full of almonds with my family while we walk around. There is usually a cake shop vendor there too. The shop sells great rum cake. There are lots of bars located around this event. I don't drink and get the spice cider, eggnog, or hot chocolate. This is an event I go to each year. I highly recommend this event to everyone wanting to do something fun during the holiday season.

It was no different yesterday afternoon. Coming from the City we took Skyline Blvd then Hwy 1 South. We decided to take the Sharp Park Rd exit thinking it'll be easier to find a parking spot. Luckily we found a spot in the neighborhood on the east side of Hwy 1 on Brighton St. We then hiked over to Fogfest on Palmetto. I'm guessing we walked 1 1/2 miles. This being our first street fair this year we took our time strolling along. What impressed me were the banners that identified which vendors were Pacifica local. Our intent was to catch a local band at the South stage besides strolling around. We found seating around 2:20pm for the band that was scheduled to perform at 2:45pm. Some folks brought their own folding chairs. The weather was overcast. It started to get chilly around 3:45pm. It was a festive atmosphere and a good size crowd. We chose a great street fair to go to.
