However, they have a small gift shop, and I couldn't help but notice that everything there is pricier compared to buying on Amazon or visiting stores like Spirit or Target. It's a nice place for pumpkins, but be prepared for slightly higher prices in the gift shop.

I didn't expect this farm to be smaller than a Walmart parking lot when I came here to check out…read morewhat pumpkins they had two years ago. It's more aimed towards kids. You must pay for admission tickets to enter and play on these attractions, including the bouncy castles and slides. The best parts were the giant pumpkin named Big Ben and a haystack farm, where you can pose for family or couples portraits for fun. I got the option to pick pumpkins from the ground and pay at the kiosk. I came home with an emotional support swan gourd for $10 and a few mini pumpkins under $5 each. Regular pumpkins ranged from $15- $30. Great for families and dog-friendly.

I absolutely loved it here, but the reason for the low rating was purely the prices. Any other…read morepumpkin patch in the Bay Area only charges for children, but this location charges for adults as well. Kids 1 year and older are $22, and adults 18 and older are $12. We're only a family of four, and that added up quickly. We've never been to this side of Alameda, so it was a treat to see the views -- that was honestly the best part. We arrived around 6 p.m., which was perfect for watching the sunset. After we paid and got our bracelets, the kids went straight to the jumpers and slides. Their favorite was definitely the hamster ball (not sure what it's actually called). They had so much fun in it, and I was dying laughing watching them inside. It's pretty empty compared to other patches around the Bay, but it kept them busy for about an hour. We would've stayed longer if we didn't have to get them dinner. Unlike other locations, they don't have a time limit, which was nice. I'd recommend this pumpkin patch purely for the views, but keep the price in mind -- you'll still have to pay extra for snacks and pumpkin shooting.

They also seem to have more turnover than the Marketplace, so it's fresher. Their organic Granny Smiths are some of the best I have had - crisp, slightly sour and super juicy. They also carry a variety of microgreens. Interesting small producers in the pantry section. The service is always friendly and efficient. Request: carry maitakes!

Monterey Market is one of my go-to spots for produce, especially if you like variety. Their…read moreselection is huge, and the mushroom section is on another level, way beyond what you see at a normal grocery store. Fun fact: this place is famous for carrying hard-to-find and foraged produce and has been a quiet favorite of Bay Area chefs for decades, which explains why half the fruits look like they belong in a cooking show challenge. That said, the quality isn't flawless. This past summer the corn on the cob was disappointing, with a few ears already rotten at one end once you peel back the husk, so definitely inspect before buying. Also, the clientele is usually fine, but this visit featured an unnecessary checkout cameo from a full-volume Karen who felt the need to explain how standing in line works. The cashier chose silence, which felt like a statement. Still a great market overall, just keep an eye on the corn and maybe bring a little extra patience to the register.

Other options are the shawarma salad or rice plate, Filipino food (chicken adobo, pancit, lumpia, and Turon.) Once noon hits, the lines are pretty long! Afterwards, purchase some fresh sweet strawberries, peaches, veggies, pastries or whatever tickles your fancy. There is also a shrimp and fish taco tent, Indian food, bolanis and dips, sometimes nuts. I love going here on Wednesdays!

They were very responsive when I was ordering things. :( They say they pick produce at its ripest but I don't think this means as it is about to turn. The delivery set up is different each week.
