The farm is gorgeous, small enough to feel like you won't get lost or bite off more than you can chew, but big enough for plenty of people.

We've come here twice now, once in the summer for strawberry picking and then in the fall for a…read morepumpkin and apple picking festival. When we did strawberry picking, it was very quiet and at one point we were the only party in the field. But the strawberries were amazing and actually the best strawberries we've ever had. I would highly recommend! The pumpkin and apple picking event was a special weekend event, with live music, food for sale, pumpkin painting, and fresh apple cider. It was a really nice family event and we enjoyed ourselves! The Fuji apples were also very good, sweet and juicy. This farm is a bit of a drive but we have found their fruit to be very good quality. It's also not too far from Gizdich so you could make a trip to both :)

Site doesn't offer any bug spray, but maybe should? As far as Covid safety, only thing is a reservation system which limits attendees. About 8-9 rows so plenty of space to spread out, but it's self regulated. Some parents corral their Children and others don't so you're at mercy of others, or have to speak up. We also got chased down rows by an oblivious sneezing and coughing man who prob had allergies and wore a mask... No one from farm is monitoring people once in. No questions or temp checks for admittance, though email prob asks that you mind it. Also: expensive! Expect to pay about $20-25/gallon baggie, which holds about 3-4 pounds. Blueberries are delish. Ticks are not so be prepared.

When Two Small Farms reorganized, I stuck with my usual pickup spot, which went to High Ground Organics. I was a little nervous. I'd been getting Mariquita Mystery Boxes all winter, so I knew that I liked what Mariquita alone produces. But what about High Ground? My worries were for nothing. The produce is as high quality and varied as I could have hoped.

Support your local farms!…read more I love that they always have a variety of in-season fruit, veggies, herbs and also have local bread (Midwife and Baker yum!!) and coffee (Chromatic, also yum!) options available. I pick-up at a nearby location and they're always on-time, mostly early. If there are any issues with your order (only had this happen once with eggs missing), they're super quick to resolve over email, and super friendly too. Sometimes their emails slip through into Spam, so make a note and add them to your contacts to avoid missing your weekly emails including delivery and selections! Five stars!

I don't know if I came too early in the season or if their strawberries were just not good because the strawberries were definitely on the watery/sour end and did not taste that good overall.

Our challenge: Find…read morecreative ways to enjoy and consume *100%* of the bounty that our friends at Greenhearts (and their partner organic farms) harvest from here in the greater Bay Area and deliver to our door-step week after week. No root, leaf, or berry will go uneaten. Especially the berries. We've been enjoying this delicious fresh bounty for over 5 years. Everything is amazing. The veggies are always perfect. Best I've ever had. Sweet, ripe, crispy, deliciousness. I even got my parents to sign up. I want to give a fair assessment: After 5+ years, we've received the occasional fruit that is disappointing - Cara Cara oranges are the best oranges I've ever tasted, but the strawberries picked at full ripeness sometimes only have a day or two left before spoiling, and stone-fruit like peaches, nectarines, or plums are occasionally be less juicy or sweet, probably depending on the weather that year. We still eat it all, even the kale, and the abundance of zucchini that arrives each summer. But our most difficult item has always been the beets. I love them, but my household thinks beets taste like dirt. I've tried dozens of different preparations, even my wife's grandmother's polish chocolate beet cake recipe, but to no avail. I had reverted to giving beets away to friends and neighbors because I couldn't eat them all myself. But no longer! Bring on the beets! (Lettuce Turnip the Beet!) I have a new trick up my sleeve: Beet Kvass - and I can drink it all day. Sooooo easy to make. In short: Raw, unpeeled, chopped beets go in a salt water brine, and get left in a warm dark place for about a week or two until the juice is funky, healthy, and delicious. Second stage fermentation (put the juice in a flip-top bottle) is optional and enables carbonation. Delicious! (Posting because I'm overdue for an update, but everything I said in my previous review still stands.)

They always have beautiful and well-priced vegetables - I love purchasing salad greens, chard and different kales (lacinato, winterboar) from them. At $1.50 for a huge bunch, it's far below what our local grocery (Andronico's) charges. During tomato season they urge you to taste the fruit and make sure you're picking the sweetest and tastiest. They also offer strawberries and flowers on occasion. I hope they return soon.

While there were plenty of tables, most were occupied when we were there. We were disappointed that prices were about the same as local groceries -- but we had been spoiled with some great deals on fresh fruit and veggies at a roadside market near Los Banos a week ago.
