To say that I was confused in looking at this business listing is an understatement…read more In reading further, I learned that there are different facets to this business so my review only pertains to the orchard or farming part of this. I've been buying their apples for many years at the Ferry Farmers' Market in San Francisco on Tuesdays and Saturdays; due to the business climate in SF, they are only here at the Saturday market. They mainly sell flowers and apples with the latter being my main shopping item here. The most impressive thing about their apples is the variety that they sell throughout the season, offering anywhere from six to eight different ones at a time. I was buying their Hawaiian apples (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=NIBPXP0nifIFVt2_VyJ2Aw&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) for a few weeks but the season is over for that type and the Fuji apples have just started. Don't hesitate to ask Stan or his staff about the aspects of each apple type to find the one(s) that best fit your palate. I am mentioning those two because they are my favorite as well as my goddaughter (pug). Come to this stand if you're looking for a wide variety of apples and don't hesitate to ask for suggestions in picking the one that fits your flavor profile. You won't be disappointed. I'm not a big flower guy but they also offer an assortment for your table arrangements too.

We had our wedding at our home and many of our family and friends helped with special details to…read moremake it our own unique event. This included doing all of our own flowers and I was so excited when a friend recommend Devoto Gardens right up the road from us. They invited us to look at all of the flowers that come in from their own farm and gardens and we picked out lots of bunches of colorful, fresh cut flowers (can't even remember all the names of what we picked). I also have to give a special thanks to Jolie who does wedding arrangements and bouquets for Devoto. She was very, very busy and yet took the time to make me an incredible bouquet for my wedding. I gave her very little direction (I knew it was going to be great) and she created a bridal bouquet more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed of! It was an incredible act of kindness! I highly recommend using Devoto Gardens anytime you need flowers and especially for your wedding!

This was my first visit to the nursery since it changed ownership. I've been going to this nursery…read morefor 30 years. I have to say the last owner wasn't particularly nice - the new owners are quite welcoming. There's a huge selection of variety of Rhododendrum's, Japanese maples, Dahlia's and Clivia's with huge redwoods surrounding. The grounds are gorgeous as ever with lovely shaded paths throughout. A new addition is the small shop with soaps and lotions made from herbs. Additionally, we were told by one of the new owners that they know offer event space for weddings. There is no charge to park or to enter the nursery. It seemed like the prices were a bit higher, but for a specialty plant it would be worth it.

This is the review I was debating on posting. The kind that is negative and you don't want to hurt…read morethe owners feelings because anyone running a nursery gets a positive check in my book. I was very excited to go for a visit and a couple weeks ago I had the chance to get over there. It was the end of August and I was hoping to go home with some plants to perk up a part of my garden and maybe make this part of my regular "going to the nursery to buy plants" rotation. Unfortunately, after perusing all the plants in the section adjacent to the parking lot (the first plants you see when walking in the nursery) and the tables heading down the path, I found them to all be in absolutely terrible shape (some barely alive) and when I finally saw how much they were trying to charge for them, I was really dumbfounded. The place looked disheveled and not well kept up. If they were healthy plants, I think I would have continued exploring the other sections and I could try to justify the price. Note: the prices I saw for 1 gallon "basic" plants are higher than any other nursery I have been to in Petaluma or Sebastopol. My guess is that the owner is overwhelmed and really needs help. It's a large space with sections that I never even had a chance to get to. Not really sure where to go. Nothing is well marked. I only saw one woman working there (owner? seemed like it) near the check out area. She was chatting with a friend the entire time while I stood there waiting to ask some questions about how things were laid out and prices (to see if I was wrong about things). I had been hovering for some time and when her friend finally left, she then walked away. Odd. And that's when I just left because she didn't seem interested in selling plants. First impressions count and this left me deflated. There is a lovely place to go for a walk so if that's what you're looking for, you'll love it.

This farm was amazing. I loved the U-Pick experience…read more As I picked blackberries that just fell into my hands I learned so much about how to pick fruit in a conscious way. We picked two kinds of apples to make an apple pie and they just melted in our mouths with the most beautiful texture when we ate them. The staff offered tables and chairs in the shade and cups of water to my parents which was kind. My fingers were stained with blackberry juice and they had two sinks with liquid soap outside which was so thoughtful, much better than the hand sanitizer for guests at most farms. The Asian Pears we purchased on the way out were potent with honey notes and I loved how there were three varieties to choose from -- we got all three -- each so different from one another. I'd love to return during permission and guava season! I could feel the intentions here, and it made the "U-Pick" experience far more than that. I suggest arriving ready to make your hour intentional as you meet the land. Thank you, EARTHseed Farm.

Raspberries are quite easy to pick which makes it accessible for people of all ages to participate, which was great. I'd bring a picnic and drinks. There are plenty of tables in the shade and sun. We were having such a lovely time picnicking after picking that we didn't even notice they'd been closed for half an hour! They were welcoming and didn't say a thing. Very thoughtful and family-friendly people. I'd definitely come back. While there are only raspberries at this farm, they're so good that it's worth coming for that one beautiful fruit.

A really fun stop for a family outing!…read more The raspberries are really delicious, and I love that the farm is organic so you feel good feeding your loved ones. The prices are $12 a pound, which seem fair considering you're paying $7-8 for a small 6 oz pack in the grocery store. Plus, you can't beat picking them fresh. There's a pond and picnic area to enjoy your fresh picked raspberries or a packed lunch, if you want to make an afternoon out of it. Not a lot of shade on the property, so if you go on a hot day be prepared with water at hats.

I thought this would be a nice alternative to the giant, crowded, carnival-like pumpkin patches in…read morethe area and I was right. Peterson's Farm is a small working farm in a hilly rural area just outside of Petaluma. Don't expect a huge parking lot, jumpy houses, sprawling corn mazes and haunted houses. Peterson's is small, intimate, quaint, and low-key. The grounds are very pretty with many trees, barns and fields, etc. However, the patch is rather small and I agree with another reviewer who mentioned the pumpkin selection was pretty slim for early October. They probably have a lot of schools going there to pick up pumpkins during the week. On the grounds you'll find adorable cows, bunnies, ponies, chickens, and geese that you can feed. There are many beehives, a couple apple trees, and a small barn where you can purchase honey and other things like tomatoes and soap (if they have any in stock). The farm is perfect for small children or babies. I wish the areas surrounding the patch were a little more maintained. There are a few dilapidated fences and structures that are laying around in piles and instead of being removed, just have caution tape around them. These "props" did not look good in the background of the photos I was trying to shoot of my toddler picking a pumpkin. Overall this place is really cute and perfect for small children. They have wagons that you can take out to the field to haul your pumpkins back. Luckily, Peterson's doesn't get too crowded on the weekends and there was plenty of parking in their small lot. The pumpkins are reasonably priced according to size, rather than weight. Bring cash because they don't take cards.

Went here today for a hunt through the pumpkin patch. This is a small, family owned farm. If you're…read morelooking for a spot to pick up a pumpkin, have your child (or your friend's children, or your dog, or your boyfriend) pose next to a giant cardboard cutout of Elvira or Frankenstein, or Divine... This isn't the place to go. If you're afraid of dirt and mud, chickens, honeybees, cows, ponies, or, well... REAL LIFE, like where your food really comes from... Don't come here. Like I said, Peterson's is a real live working farm. The pumpkin patch size was on the smaller side, we got fantastic pictures of my daughter sitting around a bunch of pumpkins in, OH MY GOD, the dirt!!! I was totally stoked to come here and am thrilled that my money has gone directly to helping a family farm thrive. My husband and I laughed at a family that showed up dressed, well, for a stroll in the city... The mother all but had high heels on. Clearly, they were really looking for a place where their spawn could jump in bouncy houses and have a Disney-fied experience of a harvest tradition. They never took the kids out of the Armada and split as soon as they realized that they'd be walking in dirt to peruse the pumpkin patch. Peterson's offers educational tours for children on honey farming, and they grow other seasonal delights in addition to pumpkins - tomatoes, persimmons, dried flowers... I can't wait until my daughter is a bit older to bring her back here, perhaps in the spring, so get another gander at the chickens and cows and ponies (OH MY!!!).

Started following them on instagram and made it a point to get there around when they opened on a Saturday. Everything looked amazing, there was so much to choose from tomatoes, herbs, veggies, etc. I've gone a couple of times now and the amount and variety of items depend on how early you get there and the day of the week. They are really good at posting on instagram each day they are open with photos of what they have available so you can see ahead of time/plan accordingly. Everything I have gotten there has been so fresh and amazing to make soups, stir fry's or sauces with. The gal that is at the register is so friendly and nice. She always greets you with a smile and connects with you individually vs just as another customer.
