Post Street Farms is an absolute gem, and Matt is the heart and soul behind its magic. Every visit…read morefeels personal and special because Matt always takes the time to say hi, chat with my kids, and show them something new--whether it's how to gently feed the rabbits, point out a hidden spooky detail in the decorations, or explain how the pumpkins grow. His warmth and enthusiasm make every trip memorable. And let's talk about the Halloween setup--hands down the best pumpkin patch around. Matt's attention to detail is incredible. The displays are creative, immersive, and perfectly balanced: spooky enough to thrill the older kids, but never too scary for the little ones. From fog-drenched graveyards to glowing jack-o'-lantern paths and clever animatronics, it feels like stepping into a storybook haunted harvest. The variety of pumpkins, gourds, and photo ops is unmatched. If you want a pumpkin patch that's more than just rows of orange spheres--if you want magic, community, and a place where your kids light up with wonder--Post Street Farms is it. Matt doesn't just run a farm; he creates memories. We'll be back every year. Oh and I told me he also does a Christmas tree farm- excited to see it!

Was so excited to cut my own tree down this past Christmas! I researched a bunch of different tree…read morefarms in the Santa Cruz Mountains and it seemed that they all had a similar price range within $5-$10 of each other. I opted for Summit since I knew exactly where it was and that they'd have a pretty large selection. It was a set price of $80 per tree (2025), no matter if you got a 4 ft tree or 12 ft tree. They had a ton of trees to choose from, we parked shortly after the road turned and when we were leaving we realized just how how expansive the property was and how much more there was to explore. Just in the area we were in you could find trees of all sizes, small, tall, plump, and on the thinner side (this was the hardest to find). There's a small snack shack here but you can also bring your own food and tailgate before or after the hunt. We spent about 20 minutes saying this is the tree while then finding another one a few minutes later. They provided a saw and we brought our own measuring tape to make sure it would fit in our designated space. Once you get your tree you drive back to the front to pay, we ended up putting the tree inside my car, so I'm not sure if they'll help you secure it to the roof before you go, but you are responsible for doing it yourself as you make your journey back to the front. They sold stands at the front, I believe they were $20. When I got a real tree growing up, it was always from a lot so they would secure the stand and put the tree through a shaker for you. That wasn't the case here, so we did find a lot of small spiders after getting it home, and we also had our tree fall over after decorating it because we didn't get the straightest cut on the bottom and the trunk was a little oddly shaped for the stand.

I work for a contractor, I'm in a Home Depot every day, soquel, Watsonville, Salinas, and seaside…read more Of all the Home Depot I regularly visit, soquel is the worst. Their pro desk has the laziest staff I've ever seen. Every other location, when there's only one or two pro cashiers and there's and there's customers waiting, the pro manager will jump in and help or come over and help is they're somewhere else. Not soquel, the lazy ass manager is ALWAYS sitting in his chair at the pro desk but never offers to help not even if there's one cashier and 10 customers waiting (I've seen it happen). The rest of the pro desk isn't much better, when there's a line or holdup it's usually because 2 cashier's are chit chatting, one cashier is chitchatting with the lazy manager, or the cashier is chitchatting with a client well after they've finished that clients transaction. Multiple times I've looked for items that shows stock on their app but can't find on the shelf. When I ask anyone at that location,, they check their device and it almost always shows the same stock as the app but their answer is always "the app is probably wrong". I then ask, "can you check if you have some up on the top rack". They always refuse, always say how they know there's nothing up top, or the classic, "there was a customer here earlier looking for the same thing and we looked up too and didn't find any so there's none in stock. Knowing how lazy they are I always end up searching the top rack looking for the sku and always end up finding the stock, honestly has happened too many times. Corporate need to have this place looked at, check the surveillance video and you'll see how the pro desk is just so bad compared to other locations
