While I was paying for the items, my son took a photo of a cool antique looking produce scale they had hanging in the store. The gruffy looking clerk berated my son, demanding to know why he was taking pictures. My son told him he thought the scale looked cool. Dissatisfied with his answer, the clerk angrily declared, "I'm not stupid!" and asked if he was a spy from the market down the road. My son thought the clerk must be joking, so he just laughed. The clerk then got more angry and snapped at my son saying, "If you're not gonna buy anything then git out!" I then informed the clerk that he was my son and with me. The clerk just started at me, his slack jaw hanging open. I explained that my son just thinks the store looks cool and that's why he was taking pictures. The clerk continued to stare at me suspiciously. i paid for my items and left. I guess he thought we were a super secret spy family from "the market down the road" gathering intel on their top secret produce scale, because he didn't apologize for being such a rude a-hole. Suffice to say we will never be coming back here, and next time will go to the "market down the road" wherever that is. Oh yeah, all their shit was overpriced too, and the place smelled like dog piss.

    This is exactly the kind of roadside fruit stand you hope to stumble across on a scenic drive…read more Everything feels fresh, authentic, and welcoming. The produce is beautiful, the fresh apple cider is outstanding, and the homemade pies are almost impossible to walk away from without buying one... or two. What really makes the experience special is the atmosphere. Surrounded by gorgeous scenery, it's the perfect place to slow down for a bit. Grab a cider, browse the fresh produce, let the kids enjoy the playground, and simply take in the peaceful surroundings. You can tell there's real pride behind everything here, from the quality of the produce to the friendly service. It's a refreshing reminder that some of the best stops aren't the big tourist attractions--they're the family-owned places that have been doing things right all along. If you're driving through Anderson Valley, don't just drive by. Pull over, stretch your legs, and treat yourself. You'll be glad you did.

    TBH it's expensive and the drive from Sacramento sucks but so delicious cider, the best apple cider…read moreI've ever had--ice cold, crisp, no after taste, and cider jelly! We love to support local farms when we can, definitely worth a biennial visit. We picked up some persimmon also while here. The folks are friendly; you can certainly strike up some conversation. This stand is set up inside a barn. You can't miss it!

It was dog friendly if you sit outside, and the view was fantastic. Bonnie helped us and she was so lovely to work with. She was really well-versed on the wine and the cheese and helped also when we had any questions. I would definitely recommend this to anyone passing through the area that just wants to have a chill time. Everything was delicious and it was relaxing to be there.

In hindsight, we should have known waking up early after a long and fun wedding night was too ambitious! Luckily the staff at Pennyroyal Farm took care of us regardless of our tired and delayed souls! Shoutout to Bonnie and Steph!!! - PARKING - Dedicated lot with plenty of spots - no need to worry about scarce parking here. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - They have several merch items and cheeses/foods for sale in their main room. You can see tastings being done inside, but our group was stationed outside in a nice shaded area under some umbrellas. There are actually several seating arrangements outside, all covered! We started with the farm tour, seeing how the grapes are grown and then exploring the animals' living areas. The tour really put into perspective how much goes into the cultivation of their cheeses and wines, which makes you appreciate the tastings even more! The boards were beautifully presented, and the wines/juices were amazing paired with them! There wasn't one wine/juice/cheese that I didn't enjoy! - OVERALL - An amazing spot for a wine/cheese tour! The staff here are so welcoming and I had an amazing time, despite the lack of sleep we got. Truly grateful for them being so accommodating, and will highly recommend this place for anyone that plans to visit the area!

    This is THE Northern California fest to go to. And I've been to quite a few but have only returned…read moreto this one again and again. We're talking double digit attendance, and we camp at the fairgrounds every time. In fact, we are at a point where the festival is just one small aspect of a jam packed fun 3 night affair! We were especially stoked it finally reprised it self post pandemic. Bummer they didn't invite as many breweries, but it was still fun! Hopefully it draws the #'s it used to, but props to the new owners of avbc for putting it on- in these crazy times we needed this to return for some shenanigans and normalcy! If you're camping, there's a group of 3 sites near the grand stand rodeo area that you need to find! These amazing people have banded together for maybe 5 years of epicness hosting slap the bag, a 90's rock band, a slip n slide, culminating with a smudge pot fire after party (bring your onesies)! Don't drink and drive- stay the night and Join the camper festivities! I will say for $25 a night they need to provide a few more amenities and clean up the cow pies before campers arrive (or lower the price) because actual campgrounds cost significantly less. Higher prices seem like the fairgrounds is encouraging folks to drink and drive. A per vehicle charge would be better, but at least the portopottys are cleaned regularly w/the increase.

    I've died and gone to beer heaven. I regret not coming to this earlier in years past when my friend…read moretold me about it!!! Advance tickets online were $40 (plus a $1.50 handling fee) and they mail you your ticket plus the info flyer with the list of MORE THAN 70 breweries, maybe even more than 80!!! That's an impressive line-up of breweries! You get a tasting glass (it's actually made of plastic, but that's probably wise since there is a correlation between unlimited drinking and people dropping their cups lol) and get to drink as much as you want between 1 and 5PM. I actually thought it was hard to drink a lot though because the lines were pretty long (my friend commented that she thinks a lot more people showed up this year since it was the first time in a few years that it was not on mothers day weekend). But it was probably good pacing to wait in line between beers. It was also a very very hot day, so sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and water bottle were also essential items. Also, a necklace made of pretzels is very important, so you can snack between beer tastings! Some of the breweries we were able to hit up before the taps were dry: Ninkasi, Ballast Point, Bear Republic, Black Diamond, Iron Springs, Andersen Valley Brewing Co, Uncommon Brewers, Grand Teton, Firestone, Knee Deep, OMG, and Magnolia. It was very fun getting to try the different beers, but because if the sheer quantity, I can't remember everything I tried - though there was a White IPA and a rye beer that I liked. Because it's such a happy event, people are in good spirits and everyone is pretty friendly. Most people opt to camp at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds the night before and the night of the Beer Fest - very smart if you plan to drink a lot and don't feel like driving back home to SF Area on windy 128! Camping cost $15/day per person. Come on Friday if you want to stake a good spot - I arrived at noon on Saturday, an hour before taps opened and it was PACKED. There was literally no space left. Luckily my friends had come up the night before and gotten a good spot and set up the tent and everything. There are bathrooms with flushable toilets and running water - the one that I knew of was close to the building with the giant apple character, near the entrance of where you drive in for the campgrounds. I noticed a lot of campsites that brought their own firepits and grills. There were RVs and there was even a teepee! Music plays very loudly into the wee hours of the night. It's a fun experience!
