They had a fruit washing station / sink! How cool is that, in the middle of nowhere? We gobbled up the washed strawberries in a couple of minutes, LOL. I usually don't use port-a-potties, but I really needed to go. I was surprised that it didn't smell, they had toilet seat liner, hand soap, and paper towels! Overall a surprisingly pleasant experience. I recommend stopping here for fresh fruits at reasonable prices, and, if you badly need to do number 1, try their port-a-potty... there are limited options on 152 between highway 5 and gilroy.

Happy is not adjectivally-accurate enough to describe how I feel. I'm ecstatic! The green miracle…read moreworkers at Happy Boy Farms are tremendously good at what they do, which is to turn out year-round, organic and ultra-fresh vegetables, herbs, and leafy yumminess from their farms in Watsonville and the Gilroy and Soquel areas. Their mesclun and lettuce mixes ($5/lb bag or loose) are really exceptional and typically last all week long. The tomato and melon offerings in the summer are great, and the autumn stuff, like squash, radishes, kale, chard, etc. are also go-to picks for us. The fresh herbs are lovely and cost around $1.25 for a decently-sized bunch. We also get their fennel to slice it razor-thin in our mandolin or toss it in vegetable soups spiked with brown miso paste. Great stuff! The Happy Boy crew also won the San Mateo Halloween costume contest this year, which was a lot of fun. Saturday mornings at the College of San Mateo parking lot is the hottest ticket in town!

From pasta sauce to seasonings, hot sauces, and beyond! The perfect place for all your garlic needs. It was so hard to not buy the entire store. The man behind the counter seemed nice and helpful. It's actually also a winery if you're interested although we didn't end up checking it out. The location is off the highway which can present a bit of a challenge depending on the flow of traffic but other than that I think it was a great stop. We ended up buying a few products and we're excited to try it all out.

I was told the shipping department was not there but I would get a call back. They never called back. I emailed and never heard from them. About a month after I placed my order I submitted a dispute with my bank. They issued a temporary credit. Then, I received part of my order a few days later, NOT the whole thing. I just got a note from my bank saying the merchant said they did send me the order, so I am now being charged for the full amount. Years ago, this place used to be great. Not anymore.

We arrived about an hour before closing and there were only a few other people picking cherries. We walked up and were told what to look for and what cherries to avoid. We were handed bags and told how far on the property we could venture. The price was around $6.99 a pound. It's more expensive than the store for bing cherries, but you can't beat the quality, freshness and supporting a family business. We picked cherries for about 20 minutes and of course took the opportunity to take some pictures. We picked about a pound and a half and were on our way. This was a great quick stop and we had a healthy snack on our road trip. I would recommend stopping if you are in the area.
