You get a basket and wander through the fields picking your own fruits and veggies -- strawberries, tomatoes, blackberries, cucumbers... You name it, they have it. Everything is so fresh and beautiful. On a sunny day, definitely bring a hat, because it's so lovely out there you just don't want to leave. We came home with the freshest produce, and everything tasted amazing. Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough -- it's pure happiness in the form of a farm!

Awesome locally picked delicious cherries and stone fruit! Whenever we stop in Gilroy on our road…read moretrips we load up on garlic. This time we knew it was cherry season and we decided to make a stop here. It was such a bummer when my husband and I ran out of our fruit from Ralph's Cherry Hut and had to subject ourselves to the imported and tasteless grocery store produce. This is worth the stop if you want delicious locally grown fruit, friendly service and a convenient location!

Came here a couple weeks back to pick some bing cherries. When we arrived, there were staffs at the…read moreparking lot area guiding cars where to park. At the front (area between the house/beautiful lawn and the horse stable) was a table with instruction and another staff teaching us how to pick the cherries/instructions/what to look for/giving us bags. Not sure how tall cherry trees usually are, but the trees here were perfect for my height. I'm short, and I didn't have to reach far at all to pick the cherries. Kids probably wont have problem picking their own cherries here either. Be careful walking around though. Don't forget to look down, because I almost stepped on a garden snake. He was harmless and he froze for a while because I spooked him out. A bit expensive...but it's reasonable market price. Definitely worth checking out if you want to pick some bing cherries next season. They have sinks (outside the restrooms) for you to wash your cherries and picnic on the lawn area.

August Family Farms is truly a wonderful place to purchase your highland cow. The family behind…read morethe farm is incredibly sweet, genuine, and clearly devoted to each and every animal in their care. They know the full lineage of every calf and take the time to help match you with the perfect addition to your fold based on your needs and goals. We recently purchased four cows to jump-start our own little fold, and each of our ladies is absolutely beautiful, gentle, and full of personality. As brand-new cattle owners, we had what felt like a million questions, and the family's patience and responsiveness meant the world to us. They never made us feel rushed or bothersome-they were always kind, helpful, and quick to respond. While adorable fuzzy Highland cows may draw you in, what truly sets August Family Farm apart is the character and integrity of the people behind the animals. They are honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring - something that cannot be overstated, especially after we were previously scammed by another establishment. Finding a family who is the complete opposite - ethical, transparent, and deeply committed to their animals - was incredibly refreshing and reassuring. We are so grateful for our experience and couldn't recommend August Family Farm more highly. They made our dream of owning Highlands not only possible, but also joyful from start to finish.

This is such a great place. we just picked up 3 new chicks to add to our flock . They are beauties…read more The owners of the farm are very kind and knowledgeable , they even held on to the chickens for us until we returned from a family vacation. It looks like they have many more fun things coming; upick pomegranates, a store with fresh sourdough and eggs. We will be back!

We were starving and badly needed a pit stop along 152 heading west. We stopped at Merry Cherry's…read moreFruit Stands after reading a few reviews. We bought the sweetest ever organic strawberries. They had a fruit washing station / sink! How cool is that, in the middle of nowhere? We gobbled up the washed strawberries in a couple of minutes, LOL. I usually don't use port-a-potties, but I really needed to go. I was surprised that it didn't smell, they had toilet seat liner, hand soap, and paper towels! Overall a surprisingly pleasant experience. I recommend stopping here for fresh fruits at reasonable prices, and, if you badly need to do number 1, try their port-a-potty... there are limited options on 152 between highway 5 and gilroy.

Shady Shoppe. I…read moreordered a bunch of items which were supposed to ship soon. A couple of weeks after the projected arrival date, I called to check on my order. I was told the shipping department was not there but I would get a call back. They never called back. I emailed and never heard from them. About a month after I placed my order I submitted a dispute with my bank. They issued a temporary credit. Then, I received part of my order a few days later, NOT the whole thing. I just got a note from my bank saying the merchant said they did send me the order, so I am now being charged for the full amount. Years ago, this place used to be great. Not anymore.

This was I finally decided to pull over and check out this garlic stop on my way home. As a huge…read morefan of garlic, I was ready to be impressed, but honestly, I wasn't excited by the selection. I was surprised that there wasn't a wider variety of unique garlic products. The Shopping Experience I originally had my eye on the garlic butter, but it was a bit too pricey. I was also really hoping to try some garlic ice cream, but they didn't seem to sell it here. I ended up grabbing some chocolate-covered nuts and a trail mix instead. The service in the store was disappointing. I wasn't acknowledged at all while browsing, and no one offered to help. To make matters worse, it seemed like there wasn't a restroom available for customers, which isn't ideal when you're stopping during a long drive. The BBQ Vendor I decided to grab some food from the vendor outside. The lady working the stand was incredibly kind and friendly--easily the best part of the stop! However, the food was a bit hit-or-miss: Garlic Bread: This was very good. Beans: These were just okay. BBQ: I didn't like it much. I might be spoiled by Southern BBQ, but this just didn't hit the mark for me. Pro Tip: Be careful getting back onto the freeway; the turn-off and merge can be a little tricky! Overall, between the lack of service, missing facilities, and high prices, I likely won't be making this a regular stop. my first time
