There is a reason that this is one of the highest rated large supermarkets in our area. The…read moreselection and variety is mind blowing. They have exotic brands from around the world along with rare and older brands that the big box grocery stores don't carry. I don't know how they do it, but the quality and freshness of the vegetables and perishables are top notch given such variety. We used to shop at Whole Foods in Monterey, and we like the small specialty shops like Elroy's in Monterey and Jerome's Carmel Valley Market, but Star Market is a combination of both worlds. Whole Foods has gotten corporate with an overemphasis on their own brands. Star Market doesn't really have their brand so they are extremely loyal to local brands which makes the shopping experience feel like a tour of Monterey County highlights. I also like the very practical way they're running their business. Few frills, very clean, and high quality. In fact, it feels very nostalgic to walk in, like a movie set from the 1970's which makes me feel that this is still a family owned and run business. If you're looking for a truly unique experience that is different from the Albertsons/Lucky/Safeway/Nob Hill sameness, then you have to do yourself a favor and visit Star Market. It has a Salinas/Monterey old fashioned charm coupled with unrivaled variety and quality.

These are truly the world's best artichokes, along with amazing snacks, plants, produce, and other delicious treats. Be sure to try the artichoke cupcake with cream cheese frosting. It's similar to zucchini bread, not too sweet, and yes, it actually has artichoke pieces inside. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions you may have. They offer artichokes in several sizes (extra small, small, medium, large, and jumbo), along with cooking directions, recipes, and tips. But honestly, these are by far the best artichokes anywhere. The leaves have so much meat on them, it's incredible. I cannot stress enough how amazing they are. What else would you expect from the artichoke capital of the world, from a family that has been doing this for over 80 years? They also sell cheese, fresh produce, spices, oils, jams, honey, homemade loaves of bread, and so much more. It is definitely worth the stop. We usually leave with a huge haul and start counting down the days until our next visit, because nothing else compares. And don't miss the artichoke food truck on site. We had artichoke tacos and deep-fried artichokes with dill dip. Everything was fresh, delicious, and not greasy at all. Stop by and pay them a visit. There is something for everybody.

Do no Farm Roadside…read morefarm stand located at the heart of one of Castroville's many farms, with this one being in business since 1929. This Farm is one of the original (maybe *the* original??) farms that started growing Castroville's famous Italian Green Globe Artichokes. The Good: *Bigger than the usual farmstand, as this place is pretty epic with tons of great stuff from not just their own Farm, but other neighboring farms and other local producers. *As fresh as it gets, as most of the produce is grown from within feet to a few miles away. *Artichoke cupcake was delicious! Seriously. Try it. :) The Meh: *Parking lot is smallish but it's ample. *Service was, well, it got the job done and not much beyond that. The Ugly: *Prices are a little high, but I still always try and buy a few things to support them. Conclusion: Definitely worth a stop if your traipsing thru the Central Coast.

It all sounded good and that they were going to call me with an offer in 3 to 5 days. But, no call, their phone numbers don't work, nothing. Its been about 2 weeks.
