Other vegetables are also available at this small farmstand. One basket of strawberries costs five dollars. Three baskets goes for fourteen dollars.

As other posts have made note of, this is for the BBQ and not the actual market…read more Got a tri tip sandwich and pork rib plate. The tri tip tasted like it was cooked in the microwave - absolutely zero char and the meat was a pale gray color. If I didn't order tri-tip, I would have thought it was diced pork loin cooked in a strange tomato sauce, thrown onto a dry roll. The sandwich was slightly under room temp to the touch The plate was unfortunately not better. The pork ribs as described before me also had 0 char and were covered in a dry (?) rub with the consistency of damp bread crumbs. The taste was okay, but the execution just so not hitting the mark. Beans tasted like they were simmered in tomato paste, and the Mac n cheese had split and it was mostly grease on top of a strange cheese/macaroni conglomerate. The cornbread tasted like corn tortillas that had sat in a moist prep container for hours on end -bland, slightly musty, and also mushy. Andy's is an awesome market but boy oh boy is this BBQ stand not it. Maybe it was super good at one time but what I experienced is not something I would have eaten for free, yet alone the $40ish I spent to toss into the trash shorty after. The guy working the stand was nice and friendly at least. But please do better or don't at all, it's not fair to charge this much for food this low of quality.

While Dear Hubby and I were in Sonoma County for a quick trip, we had free time on Sunday to get out into the backroads and check out a few apple farms. Hale's is close to Santa Rosa, which made it convenient. They were decked out for Halloween, with various areas sporting giant spider figures, scarecrows, skeletons, and much more. Autumn décor, including pumpkins and apples were definitely part of the scene. Adjacent to their barn they had a station set up with very helpful staff offering samples of various varieties of apples. I loved that they had a number of the favorites I've experienced in SoCal's apple haven of Oak Glen (near Yucaipa). Yes, to Mutsu! Cameo! They also had others that I hadn't heard of, and already can't recall their names. Oh good, I found a chart online - Northern Spy is one I tried and bought. Sundance, maybe? Yikes! Hale's claims to grow 30 different varieties, and good for them. Good for you! An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as the old saying goes. No doctors for me for now - I'm enjoying usually one apple for breakfast and one for lunch. Hale's has kept me going for two weeks now. We especially enjoyed taking in their ambiance with my brother and sister-in-law, who live nearby, but hadn't been before. A great place to visit with family! If you're in the area, stop on by and enjoy the fresh air, the friendly folks helping you taste and purchase the goodness of Sonoma County fruit.

I love getting local produce and eggs from my neighbors chickens. Their veggie starts do amazingly at my place. But the real reason you should shop there is because yesterday when the person who was supposed to drop my groceries had an emergency and couldn't bring them. I was recovering from abdominal cancer surgery so I couldn't go myself. Anthony, one of the owners I believe, offered to drop them off. He came right after work. Never event brought up a service or delivery fee. It's a 5-7 min drive for him but the gesture, for me, is reason enough to shop there as often as I can.

We didn't even know where to start or how to find the right caterer. So of course we went to the internet to see what we could find. After interviewing a couple of resteraunts and independant companies we ran across Collision Cuisine website and liked what we saw so I gave them a call. We knew within the first few minutes we was talking to someone with a REAL passion for food and real expertice on catering. At that point we met up with Julia and Gage and they walked us through every step. We were convinced they would be perfect, but when it came to the actual event they exceeded all of our expectations. The food was so amazing that is all you can hear our guests talking about and everyone just loved them. I'm not kidding when I say I kept seeing our guest going over and hugging them! The quality, passion, staff, personalized touch and valuable suggestions they provided made our day extra special. We seriously can't say enough good things about them as people and them as incretable chefs.

Surrounded by hundreds of pots of assorted peppers Kevin McEnnis speaks fondly about his produce,…read moreand he displays an unmistakable passion in describing his New Mexican chiles and his Poblano chile peppers. He should. For these, his mixed sweet peppers and his Early Girl tomatoes are the crops that his Quetzal Farm are best known for. Kevin and his business partner, Keith Abeles, operate the 10 acre farm in Santa Rosa, and they recently took time out from their busy weekend schedules to offer our Berkeley-based group a tour of their farm. Kevin started the farm in 1999 and his farm has been certified organic since 2002. Kevin tells us he named the farm after the national bird of Guatemala for it was there where he planted his first farm. He is the core farmer at this site while Keith promotes sales and administrative duties. The location of the farm is key to the produce harvested here. Here they have the intense Santa Rosa heat coupled with a prominent marine layer to successfully produce warm weather crops such as tomatoes side by side with cold weather crops such as lettuce. Kevin tells us the unique weather helps his produce to mature slowly creating a more vibrant flavor. We took a walking tour into one of their greenhouses, and as soon as we entered the enclosure we noticed it was like walking into a sauna. Inside the greenhouse our group marveled at the specialty herbs, brightly colored radishes and a field full of green garlic with many of us stopping to take a photo or two. Two dozen in my case! Back outside Kevin described in detail some of their sustainable farming techniques and showed us why they use raised soil beds to take advantage of the unique climate and better drainage. Like many organic farms they create their own compost here and the farm grows cover crops to protect their soil as good soil is a vital part to any successful farm. While the farm is well known for only specific types of produce Keith told us that their recent trials with lemon cucumbers and English cucumbers have done exceptionally well. In addition the farm dries their own chiles and sells these and freshly made salsas at local farmers markets. Following our tour Kevin and Keith led us into the barn, broke out some tortilla chips and allowed our group to sample some of their tasty salsas. I loved both their Chipotle Salsa and Hot Salsa so much I purchased a pint of each along with some super fresh produce that was picked for our group that morning. Produce from Quetzal Farm can be found locally at the Thursday Berkeley Farmer's Market, the Saturday Berkeley Farmer's Market and the Sunday Marin Farmer's Market. In addition, their dried chiles are sold at Bi-Rite Market in San Francisco, Rockridge Market Hall in Oakland, the Santa Rosa Community Market and selected Whole Foods markets in the North Bay.

To say that I was confused in looking at this business listing is an understatement…read more In reading further, I learned that there are different facets to this business so my review only pertains to the orchard or farming part of this. I've been buying their apples for many years at the Ferry Farmers' Market in San Francisco on Tuesdays and Saturdays; due to the business climate in SF, they are only here at the Saturday market. They mainly sell flowers and apples with the latter being my main shopping item here. The most impressive thing about their apples is the variety that they sell throughout the season, offering anywhere from six to eight different ones at a time. I was buying their Hawaiian apples (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NIBPXP0nifIFVt2_VyJ2Aw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) for a few weeks but the season is over for that type and the Fuji apples have just started. Don't hesitate to ask Stan or his staff about the aspects of each apple type to find the one(s) that best fit your palate. I am mentioning those two because they are my favorite as well as my goddaughter (pug). Come to this stand if you're looking for a wide variety of apples and don't hesitate to ask for suggestions in picking the one that fits your flavor profile. You won't be disappointed. I'm not a big flower guy but they also offer an assortment for your table arrangements too.

I also have to give a special thanks to Jolie who does wedding arrangements and bouquets for Devoto. She was very, very busy and yet took the time to make me an incredible bouquet for my wedding. I gave her very little direction (I knew it was going to be great) and she created a bridal bouquet more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of! It was an incredible act of kindness! I highly recommend using Devoto Gardens anytime you need flowers and especially for your wedding!
