OMG! These are still the best strawberries in North County SD. I've been buying them for over 30…read moreyears and they never disappoint. Price is right! You can sit in your car while eating right out of you just purchased basket and watch the employees pick more. It' was funny watching the 3 pick berries on opening day. The gentleman would pick a few then eat the perfect one he'd just pick. again and again. I think he loves his job. The stand employees are the best. Always happy to see you and greet everyone with a smile and thank you for supporting us. It's a small field so get them early. I must add I do buy at Carlsbad when this place is not open. Second best even though a little higher priced.

Strawberries are in season. Bright red berries full of sweet flavor. These strawberries are sun ripened and picked from the field right behind the stand. They don't get fresher. I alternate between getting a 3 pack of #1's which are the big ones and the small ones. The small ones are a little bit sweeter. I noticed Williamson Produce was selling strawberries at Costco but like other supermarket strawberries they didn't have much flavor as I suspect they are picked before they are ripe. There is a strawberry flag and an open sign so you know when the stand is open. I usually call before coming by. Open 8-4pm most days till strawberry season is over in June. They built a fancy new stand this year. While the old stand looked like a farmer built it the new stand looks like a housing contractor did it as the roof looks like one you would see on a house. Attic fan keeping the stand cool is a nice touch. The new stand is also closer to the strawberry field.

I love Just Peachy! They have so much that you can't find very many places! They carry fresh…read morepassion fruit in season and that's my weakness! They also carry a large jar of passion fruit when it's out of season so I'm still looking for that! The produce is always fresh and beautiful and they carry many other fun and unique foods. I'm hoping they may have loquats in the Spring. They are super friendly and knowledgeable and I love that! We come from far away to go here, I always look forward to it! Also a very clean place fully stocked!

I was looking for local markets and luckily I found Just Peachy…read more There were a few parking spots just in front of the Market, but street parking is available as well. Just Peachy carries organic produce, vegetables, frozen food, cage free eggs, organic dairy products, honey, herbal teas, organic juices, Ice cream, snacks, frozen sections and more. They have produce and flower stands outside. The market place is very clean and organized. The staff were very friendly. The vegetables and the fruits were really fresh. It is a great market to stop by and find organic produce and more.

Very nice people, great organic fruits and veggies. They also have delicious ice cream :)read more

CASH ONLY or VENMO…read more Good but could of been Great. Visited Chino Farms for the first time last month. It's conveniently located near my Doctors office. I love driving down the windy roads, it really feels like you are elsewhere. I walked up to the stand and there were ony a few other customers. On the stand they had a lot squash, herbs, tomatoes, figs, cucumbers, lettuce, oranges, among other goodies. I purchased their oranges, cucumbers, cherry tomatoes and some figs (which didnt make into my bag- see more below). I spent about $19 Things to know: - Cash only or Venmo Pros: - You know the pros, delicous produce - Best cucumber I've ever tasted, like ever!!!! Cons: - Prices are not listed on the produce - No receipts are given at purchase unless you ask for them - Because no receipt/price listed, I don't actually know that I paid for the figs but they didn't make it into my bag. When I tried reaching out to them, I didn't get a response. Of course it's not about the figs but rather transperancy. I like knowing how much things are. I also like to know how much I've been charged for those things. All in all Chino Stand is good, and well it's great if you dont mind some uncertainty- not about their products but about their prices.

Located in an…read moreelementary school, you'll see a bunch of tents lined along, selling everything from flowers, fruits, jerky, meat, cheese, and more! Pros: -I love the variety of food vendors that they have here. There were also vegan options available. -there is a shaded seating area that has picnic benches but people also brought out blankets to enjoy the day -some live music was available when I stopped by Cons: -parking can be a bit difficult and since this is in a residential neighborhood, you need to be careful of where you park.

My highlight of this place was the green juice from morning star ranch!! Everyone had a bottle and rightfully so, super nutritious and delicous - this farmers market is at a elementary school which is great -parking can be tough but we had parked in downtown Encinitas and just walked over (about 20 minutes)

Our friends told us about this farm and we were honestly blown away. We were visiting North County…read moreand kept saying the whole time how much we wish we had a place exactly like this closer to us! The farm stand is absolutely adorable. I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!

I cannot say enough good things about coastal roots farm! Four years it has been a favorite spot of…read moremine to pick up fresh organic fruits and vegetables. The farm has on Thursdays and Sundays a pay what you can farm stand. This has been a tremendous help to the community, especially when Covid hit. When purchasing items it is private so other people cannot see if you need to use the opportunity to purchase items at a discounted price or at full price. There are also many educational opportunities on the farm. Camps for kids, after school programs and other events are available throughout the year. The farm recently opened a coffee cart as well. Swing by and get fresh coffee along with your fruits and vegetables. There are also chickens on the farm and fresh eggs are sold every Sunday. If you like to eat the rainbow, or try new vegetables, this might be the spot for you as well, depending on when you arrive at the farm, you can see the vegetables coming in just after they have been picked to be sold.

We were bored this Saturday and decided that we should try the Cardiff Crack sandwich. Got there…read morearound 6pm and the parking lot was packed. We were still able to find parking quickly. There is only outdoor seating so dress for the weather. Coastal weather in May makes it cool as it approaches evening. I ordered the classic crack sandwich and my wife got their Philly sandwich. Both had lots of meat! Mine had some meat sitting in the container . We also got fries and their artichoke dill pasta salad. It was all tasty. Be prepared to wait in line but also check outside for their canopy serving sandwiches there also. Plenty of outdoor seating. People started clearing out as it got closer to 7pm. While it is out of the way for us we plan to return.

There are numerous produce vendors, food vendors, crafts vendors and prepared food vendors. There is usually some live music for entertainment you can listen to while partaking of some of the food vendor offerings. For me it's usually either something from Chez Cristophe or the East African Food vendor who sells saffron chicken and sombusas. Parking - it's usually not too hard to find parking on the street... if nothing is available right nearby there usually is some parking up Rosa street. Bathrooms - if needed - are in the main office building. Just go through the main entrance glass doors and the hallway to the right leads right to them. Vibe is laid back and I haven't seen it too crowded all the times I've gone over the years.
