This review is for a company that sells at both, the Hesperia Farmers Market on Saturdays and the…read moreApple Valley market on Sundays. The company I love buying from is Micro Farms. A company run by a super sweet young tho old soul's couple who have not only mastered the art of growing sprouts. They are beyond knowledgeable on the many varieties. Don't know about you, but I am afraid to shop my local stores for produce, especially knowing people have died from dirty lettuce. If not eColi or another nasty bug, I don't trust what is in the air, where it is from, or what they are being sprayed with. Not to mention the high cost of shrinkflation only to have the produce go bad. That being the true cost of buying outside our state or country. We owe it to ourselves to use the FARMacy over the pharmacy, and the only thing better than growing it ourselves is buying local. I grow my own sprouts, but have yet to get them as full as MicroFarms. They grow quite a selection that go well with my small weekly batch. If you are serious about how you look and feel going into the new year, consider giving MicroFarms a try. Their sprouts pack a nutritional punch. They are so versatile and can be used in so many ways. From replacing lettuce in sandwiches and wraps to being added to salads or atop fixin's of a charcuterie spread. The ideas are endless. They also do giveaways. I was blessed to receive a flat of my choice. Seriously best of all is the energy they exude into their beautiful and tasty sprouts. Not seeing a website, but here's their info - https://www.instagram.com/farmsmicro/

My family and I attended the farmers market this Saturday and we loved it. There is so much heart…read moreand authenticity at each booth and food truck, affordable prices, and quality goods. There was fresh produce, baked goods, cuisines of all kinds, home goods, gardeners, and much more. We had such a good time that we have decided to make it a weekly tradition to attend the farmers market on Saturdays

This moved to the Rancho Cucamonga Sports Center, it is no longer at Terra Vista!…read more I think there were more food/merch vendors than there were produce stands so that was a bit disappointing for a farmer's market. All of the fruit and produce stands sold roughly the same items so there wasn't that much variety. A few egg vendors. Regarding food, we tried an acai bowl ($13 large) from the sugar cane spot, fried fish taco ($6) from Ensanada, and a beef tamale ($5). Overall decent food for a farmer's market. The performer was THE HIGHLIGHT. I would come back just to see her sing again. I don't know if she is here weekly but her voice was so soothing and brought good vibes. Great song choices. She goes by @thebohemianbusker.

Visited the new location today and asked, "Is it hotter at this location or Terra Vista?" It's…read morehotter here. I will say, the layout is bigger and more spacious and parking wasn't bad since we got here early, but we've stopped by after 11 am and had to circle the parking lot for a while and ended up leaving. We tried the sourdough vendor Amo Pan and got the cinnamon roll, pretzel, lemon blueberry sourdough loaf and a stack of chocolate chip cookies, all sourdough products. The cookie was fine, I've never had a sourdough cookie before but the difference wasn't super obvious to me. I loved the pretzel and the lemon blueberry loaf. The cinnamon roll was great. I liked the texture and taste a lot and would get that again. We also tried the Bagel Sandwich from the Bakers Crate and that was very good! I got the double egg and sausage bagel and it hit the spot, however the cinnamon roll was just ok to me. Lots of other great vendors are at this Farmer's Market and with the new layout it feels like there's more vendors. Get there early to find close parking, bring a hat or umbrella to block out the sun and enjoy all the samples the vendors offer.

I've been coming to Charlie Brown Farms since I was a kid, and it's honestly nice to see that it…read morehas stuck around for so long. I really like that the store has such a wide variety of merchandise, treats, and food. They carry everything from local honey and candy to turkey burgers and more unusual meats like alligator, venison, elk, and frog legs if you're brave enough to try them. They also have a lot of nostalgic items that you may recognize from childhood, which makes it a bittersweet but fun place to walk through. It's definitely a great spot if you want to take a little trip down memory lane. I usually like to stop by to buy candy or order some garlic fries. There's so much to look at that you could easily spend over an hour browsing while waiting for your food. Charlie Brown Farms remains one of those unique places that is part store, part restaurant, and part roadside attraction. It's quirky, nostalgic, and fun to visit.

Our absolute favorite stop on road trips along Pearblossom Highway -- Charlie Brown Farms is one of…read morethose places you don't expect and end up loving every single time. First of all... it's truly in the middle of nowhere, which somehow makes it even better. You pull up not knowing what to expect, and then suddenly it's everything. They have all the road trip essentials and then some -- homemade fudge, jams, salsa, fresh honey, and an impressive selection of jerky (alligator, elk, ostrich... you name it). There's also endless candy, nostalgic sodas, funnel cake, and Dole soft serve in just about every flavor you could want. But what really stands out is the selection of nostalgic toys, collector's items, and rare finds -- it's honestly mind-blowing. You can spend a lot of time just browsing and still not see everything. I always leave with more than I planned (in the best way), and it's become a must-stop every time we're passing through. And the date shake? Easily one of the best I've ever had. Inside, there's a café if you're in the mood for BBQ, plus a whole section of vintage toys and random collector finds that you didn't know you needed until you see them. It's the kind of place where you always leave with more than you planned -- in the best way. The staff is consistently friendly and helpful, which just adds to the charm. This place never disappoints -- it's become a must-stop every time we're passing through.

My wife and I were taking the backroads from Chino Hills back to Los Angeles when we stumbled…read moreacross the Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store. This looked like a big ol' farm store and from the second I saw it, I was pretty darn excited. This large store features ample parking, tables outside, and a petting zoo that didn't actually have any animals, but maybe they were just inside. The shop itself is full of baked goods, clothing, drinks, and literally everything else you can usually find at a farm style store. I was super tempted to pick up a bunch of chocolate when walking around, but since it was pretty hot outside I had to settle for the farms own Orange Juice and a big fat rice crispy treat with chocolate and pretzel on top. The orange juice was OH SO refreshing on this hot day and the rice crispy treat was really good as well. Overall, The Cal Poly Pomona Farm Store is a great place to stop and pick up a few things. I really liked the two things I picked up and I can definitely see stopping back here the next time i'm in Pomona!

So many choices! How are you supposed to pick one?? Overwhelmed by choices, I luckily had to choose…read morequickly as some stalls started closing down for the night. I went with a couple of friends for dinner- we were around the area and thought it was an opportune time to show them a place they weren't familiar with! I've been here since I was a kid, and though some things changed, alot hasn't! This was during a world cup game, so it was very lively at pub areas as they were broadcasting live. Everyone was so invested, from the patrons, chefs, servers, and even line cooks! Went to a stall selling the 'best corned beef sandwich' from Magee's kitchen. The servers and cook were super nice and the corned beef on display made my mouth water! It was very good, and paired with their blood orange soda, wasn't too heavy! It was a big enough sandwich that I took the other half home! I also got a cornbread muffin from Gumbo pot- which was good but a little dry. There's plenty of shade, though the area is mostly outdoors- lots of trees and buildings with covers and awnings. There's a fancy French market in there and plenty of eating options (though open hours vary). Come by this historic stop, walk through the Grove, and enjoy the hustle and bustle!

The Bottom Line 4 stars: Unique, historical shopping and dining complex. Huge selection of…read morehigh-quality food, from meat and vegetables to prepared foods to fine dining. A great experience for locals and tourists alike. Location 4 stars: In the Fairfax District area of Los Angeles, to the West of the Grove. It has busy parking lot which is usually quite full. Although some restaurants will validate part of the parking fees, be prepared to pay somewhere between $10 and $56 depending on how long you stay and which stores you visit. Make sure you check the parking rates sign by the entrance and plan accordingly. You can also park in the Grove's multi-story parking structure, but they will not accept validation from Farmer's Market businesses. The Grove also has Valet parking on premises. Venue 4 stars: Nice rustic but well-kept open air set up that has been around for almost 100 years! It is focused on local and international food. As you stroll through the market you will encounter gourmet food stores (such as Monsieur Marcel Gourmet Store), meat counters (such as Huntington Meats), takeout restaurants (such as Stara Polish Pierogi and Sausage, Banana Leaf Singaporean restaurant and Oh My Dumpling Chinese food), and fine dining restaurants (such as ETTORE OSTERIA Italian and Monsieur Marcel French Bistro). Once you are on premises you can use the Grove trolly to visit the (attached) Grove complex.

I wanted to take advantage of being in big Bear on a Tuesday to come by the local farmers market,…read morebut unfortunately, it decided to rain today. The market was still going on, but much less activity and hardly anyone there. I think the parking lot is usually pretty full and as you can see the picture it is very empty today.

I did buy a loaf of delicious bread and and planning on stopping by again in the future if I'm ever around on a Tuesday.

Everything looks very fresh and delightful. Very friendly vendors that greet you with a big smile and sometimes will give you discount if you ask for one! I'd get there early though on the hot summer days, I got there at 11 and it was baking out. Very enjoyable experience other than the hot pavement for my dog! Highly recommend this farmers market!

The owners are incredibly nice, and their selection of homemade preserves, jams, mustards, and pickled items is incredible. Their apple cider was also delicious and so refreshing. They were even giving out samples, and honestly, you can't leave without taking something home! The quality is amazing, and you can truly feel the love that goes into everything they make. They are open every day. Farming and running a shop like this can be a thankless business, and most people don't realize how much hard work and expense goes into it. It feels great to support a local business like this as much as possible. Highly recommend!

I visited this country store after apple picking since my friends and I were craving apple cider…read moreand my experience here was pretty good. The apple cider was good, but I would've preferred it to be colder and not served in a Styrofoam cup. I'm assuming that's because it was the end of the day and it looked like they were running out of apple cider and other materials. I also got the apple cider popsicle for $2 which was a good deal. It was good, but I didn't like how the juice separated from the water during the freezing so it tasted like regular ice by the time I got to the core of the popsicle. For food, I tried their Strawberry Banana Sweet Bread and that was my favorite thing! It was not too sweet and moist. It was $6.50, but not too bad for a whole loaf. The interior was fun and rustic. There are several things to shop for from different baked goods to nic nacs. The service here was pretty good and the staff seemed nice and personable. There's some parking out front as well as some picnic benches and tables with nice views of the mountains and foliage while you enjoy your treats. Overall, a good stop for some casual shopping and to enjoy a sweet treat if you're ever in the Oak Glen area.
