We stumbled upon this Farmstand when we were killing time before a performance at The Hive up the…read morehill on a Sunday afternoon. While we didn't buy anything because we were headed to a show and didn't want it to wilt in the hot car. We were pleased by the variety of offerings. Theodore favorite is rainbow chard and they had some for sale. The staff was friendly, it pay what you can with suggested prices and for those who can't afford veggies you can check out in a special line with staff assistance. I was delighted to discover this hidden gem and will be back to support them!

Our friends told us about this farm and we were honestly blown away. We were visiting North County…read moreand kept saying the whole time how much we wish we had a place exactly like this closer to us! The farm stand is absolutely adorable. I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!

I was fortunate enough to meet Mia (owner and founder) as her next-door neighbor in San Diego and…read morehave been receiving bi-weekly harvest boxes for over a year. The produce is all 100% locally grown and super fresh, vibrant, and delicious. It puts supermarket produce to shame. Mia puts a ton of effort and care into her harvest boxes. I have tried many new and exciting types of produce since I joined Good Neighbor. I probably would have never thought to try items such as kohlrabi, callaloo, and espazote without being a Good Neighbor subscriber. It's been a fun way to add more variety to my cooking.

It's expensive because it's shipping locally (Or close to it, anyway) rather than internationally,…read morewhich, contrary to what you would think, does tend to cost a lot more. Therefore, I can't *quite* get as much produce as I would like. But, it's good produce, it's reliable, local, for me, is important and I don't drive so farmer's markets are a pain. It's also been great to help me come up with varied meal plans rather than eating the same thing every day since I just let it ship me what it ships me and I don't bother to customize much, except for replacing things like onions and potatoes. I like that the produce is sent with the stems *on,* so when I get carrots or beets, I can use their greens, too.

I just discovered that Farm Fresh to You has been reviewed, and decided to provide my own…read moreexperience and rationale for using this delivery company for the last few years. I agree that this is not the most economical way to get fresh produce, even organic items, however there are some good reasons for subscribing. For us, the most important one is that it encourages us to have a variety of fresh, organic produce on stock. I've tried veggies that were unfamiliar,I know we end up eating better because the produce is here and needs to be used.. While we have a local weekly farmer's market, the variety is unreliable and not as diverse at FFTY's. Also, the time frame is limited, and many of the vendors are NOT organic. Now there have been times when we've received damaged produce, which is disappointing, but we have always received prompt reimbursement. They remind you to customize your box and are very flexible about skipping deliveries for vacations or other reasons. Finally, it makes us feel good to be supporting a business that is concerned about their employees' well-being and the health of the land they farm. It's not cheap, but it feels like we are supporting something good.

While Healing from the Ground Up is a CSA, it's the farm stand in Alpine where the real action is…read more About a month ago, I was looking for a reliable source for fresh organic produce not too far from home, and I found all that and more at the Healing from the Ground Up farm stand. Every Friday and Saturday, Taj opens his farm stand to the public, and it's here that you will find freshest, most delicious organic produce you've ever purchased in your life. My wife and I stop by every Saturday morning to see what Taj has, and we're always amazed at the selection, which changes from week to week depending on what's ready for harvest. Yesterday, for example, we bought broccoli, carrots, celery, lettuce, spring onions, and edible (!!) flowers. Then, Taj told us to wait a minute. He went out to his gardens and harvested some sugar snap peas for us right then and there. Oh. My. God. The sweetest, most delicious snap peas I've ever eaten. We of course bought some of those too. And that's the real beauty of going to the farm stand yourself instead of just doing a CSA box. You get to interact with Taj. He'll tell you what he loves best at the moment, and introduce you to some things you might not have otherwise tried (hello, black radish!). You'll also find fresh eggs (we have our own chickens so I don't need to buy those), lemons, and a variety of other produce. Whatever's fresh. Whatever's delicious. And if you need more of something, Taj is more than happy to go out in the garden and pick it for you. Extra bonus: the prices are very reasonable. The farm stand is currently open only on Friday from 2:30 to 5:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Check the website for updates or give Taj a call.

The actual shop is in this little shed on the side (you can fit maybe four people in the shop comfortably).

Our son Cruz has been going to Sugar Sweet Farm since he was 6 years old. Last summer, as he was…read moreapproaching 12, we thought it would probably be his final camp season. We were wrong. He signed up again this year, and when we picked him up today, he couldn't stop talking about all the fun he had--just like he did when he was 6. Seeing that kind of excitement after all these years truly melted our hearts. Now, Cruz is already looking forward to becoming a counselor one day. Elizabeth, Farmer Bubba, and the entire team are simply the best. You've created a place where kids make memories that last a lifetime. Parents, if you're looking for an incredible summer camp experience, Sugar Sweet Farm is the place to be. Thank you for all the memories.

They have different tiers especially for those who are unable to pay full price, no questions asked, which I think is a great model to promote food security. Aside from produce, they also sell eggs, poultry, and artisan goods that have a table and switch up their offerings weekly. Do note their hours are very limited - they are only open Tuesdays and Saturdays. My last haul here included cherry tomatoes, spinach, bokchoy, passionfruit, and dino kale. I am trying to make it a routine habit to come here throughout the week! So happy I finally found this spot as I cannot believe it took me this long!
