I travel to the Bay Area for dance competitions several times a year and usually take the 152 from the I-5 to the 101 North. Most of the time I am driving pretty late at night and the only the only Farmers Market / Fruit Stand open is Casa De Fruta. This time, for a change, I was driving from West to East in the late morning / early afternoon and was amazed by all the roadside produce stands that were open on both sides of the road. This stand was the first one I came upon and since it was on the South side I figured it would be one of the easiest ones to check out and get right back on the road (no left turns).
Besides, I was seduced by the signs advertising corn on the cob 8 for $1.00 (limit $2 per car) and cherries at $1.00 per basket. While they did have cheap cherries, I got the prettier (more expensive) ones in a larger basket for $7.00. The workers there were very friendly and the cherries tasted as good as they looked - maybe even better. They were large and juicy and at the peak of ripeness.
This is a nice little fruit stand and if you're headed East it is has very convenient access. read more
