Dittmar's apples are as fresh as they get and absolutely delicious…read more This little stand is located under a massive Valley Oak with easy parking alongside and the apple groves behind. The apple varieties offered change over the season as they become ripe. When out of season, the stand is closed. When the stand is open, an apple flag flies along Alamo Pintadato so you can see it as you drive along. Mr. Dittmar was not there last Friday, but thankfully the apples were. We picked up two large bags each of Pink Ladies and Granny Smiths. The large bags are $10, small bags $5. The barrel of seconds was empty. When Mr. Dittmar is not there, you pay by the honor system, dropping cash into a can. Many of the old farm stands and pick your own crops in the SYV are long gone. We are so grateful that Dittmar's hangs in there. The apples are so crisp and tasty, we usually eat one on the way home and so fresh that they last weeks in our refrigerator.

So with the horrible traffic on the 101 we got there around 11:30, figuring there won't be much left half hour before closing. The location is a private Ranch - looks like it could be used as a wedding or party venue? Anyway the baked goods were indeed mostly gone with the owner Tracy telking us she had sold over 80 scones that morning. But bc there were only 2 scones left and we wanted more , Tracy was kind enough to put some more in the oven for us. We left were a couple bags of goodies - the homemade pop tarts with fresh made jam, Scottish cream scones, lemon poundcake and shortbread cookies. All were delish! The pop tarts though.... omg ... soooo good. I could eat these every day. $5 per item and worth every calorie ....yummmm!

I was greeted and told to sign the clipboard and grab a box. Super Easy. When I arrived home I found mostly local, beautiful produce. Everything was in great shape! I had to have one of these huge strawberries and they were great! Intense Strawberry Flavor! Super juicy and super delicious. I had some of the broccoli and it also was great. Great fresh, snap, and deep broccoli taste. I saw online the box cost $52 and if you go to a store, you'll see that's a deal. Wonderful for families and even single people who don't have time. Great Product! *On a personal note, I wish they had it totally customizable. I personally don't want any GMO produce, none* *The Grover Beach Strawberries (in a package), Leeks, Snap Peas, Lettuce and Broccoli had no NonGmo and no organic Labeling*

So For my health and my…read moresons health we have started eating much more healthy inherited high cholesterol is a bitch!!! So changing up my entire diet was something i had no choice over i'm 100% positive the keto diet I was on nearly killed me. Actually keto made my cholesterol rise by over 100 points!! It helped my stomach issues but screwed my health and my cholesterol up to a dangerously high level. So bad that i felt sick all the time I was on Keto for over 9 months. So i turned my diet around to be based on fresh veggies, fruits lean protein and whole grains with healthy fats and lower carb. This delivery program they have has helped make the change painless because of the exceptional quality and variety. Local grocers here where i live mostly sell crap! It looks good but tastes bad and expensive for the small quantities you get. And truthfully has been sitting in storage for quite some time. I came across Talley farms by accident i was looking for a better provider besides Imperfect foods. Their quality and prices are insane now and not worth what they are charging and a lot of their produce is imported from mexico and other countries a lot of the time which is a no no we live in the Ag hub of the country! So when i found Talley i loved that they only have local produce, Fresh picked, organic and in season! And i must say my god the difference in taste of farm fresh produce cannot be compared to store bought!! Even with something as simple as grapes right off the vine GASM!! Gorgeous fruits and veggies from this awesome group of farms!! They are the sweetest people!! They respond quickly to your emails and every delivery is correct! They send recipes and ideas for what your box will contain every week which i Love!! You can also replace things you don't want with other items or extra of something. You can also add additional in season fruits, veggies herbs etc from the available list in your email. I needed extra lettuces for my guinea pigs one week and she graciously replaced my cauliflower with tons of beautiful red little gem lettuces!!! I know most people don't get excited about produce but i'm telling you when i open my boxes from them i'm excited as hell Lol!! I am gushing about them because i truly believe they've got something great here and i'm so thankful i found out about them! We all need to clean our diets up to feel better and live longer and they help make it easier. I still have my luscious cheat meals occasionally but honestly the changes i've made has helped me feel so much better health wise and i know i'll be here longer for my sons ;) Talley farms Rocks!!!

The ladies at the register were super nice and gave us clear directions on where to go. Since it's probably the end of blueberry season, we really had to search for the big, good ones. Honestly, it was a humbling experience--we were both tired after just 30 minutes! We ended up with about a pound and a half, which felt like an accomplishment, and we were more than ready to get back to the AC. I also grabbed some blackberries and strawberries for the road, and the total came out super affordable. Overall, a fun and memorable outing!

The employees are always so nice! There is a sink to wash before your eat your berries, already picked ones if you would prefer that, drinks and ice cream and other yummies are available.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon. The olive oil tasting farm is located in a nice neighborhood area in downtown Los Olivos. There is parking accessible in the back parking lot and limited parking next to the olive oil tasting area and boutique shop. As soon as we parked and headed to the olive oil tasting area, we were greeted by a very friendly and hospitable staff member. I appreciated all the information she told us about the property and instructions about the olive oil tasting experience. Their complimentary olive oil tasting was unique and unlike any other olive oil tasting I had ever done before. There were 10 different olive oils to taste from. You are given a freshly made sourdough bread slice to go along with a tray with a menu sheet of all the olive oils. Some of the olive oils that stood out to me were the white truffle, garlic, and Italian honey. We were then encouraged to explore the rest of the property where there was a charcuterie cart, pottery vendor, and complimentary wine tasting on the other side of the premises. This enhanced our olive oil tasting experience even more. The rest of the property was beautiful as there were a lot of tables and chairs for guests to enjoy. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Olive + Lavender Farms. The staff were nice and accommodating. The vibe was relaxing and inviting. The boutique shop were selling a lot of wonderful and distinctive local products in the area. The olive oils price point are in the higher end. Next time we are in the area we would love to come back.
