It's a really great farm stand with more produce behind the store front. Just walk in further to explore! I am not sure why Yelp noted that this offers validated parking. You just park in the dirt so it's free to park! We were passing by and wanted to pick up some fresh strawberries. They were the best strawberries that I've had this summer season! I also saw that they had cherries but they were ripe and ready and I didn't know if we would eat them in time. We also enjoyed a bag of kettle corn for the road. read more

Hayashi Vegetable Stand - Kettle corn - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Oceano, California

Saw this place on Friday as my husband just kept on going when I said that looks fun.... Made my way over there by me self on way to beach the next day. So glad I did! Grabbed a bunch of veggies to cook for dinner and makings for salad. Made sure to get fresh strawberries and cherries to eat while enjoying my day at the beach. Couldn't resist picking up some of their house made dressings and hot sauces. This is a place I could stock up on condiments and use for myself and fun gifts. I will be making this a regular stop when I come to the area. Service was friendly... They managed to upsell me from one basket of berries and cherries to three baskets of each; I'm the only one that will eat so I'm indulging. Glad they didn't see me checking out the other blackberries or I'd probably walked out with even more stuff. Seriously though, DON'T pass this place up! Nice little gem in the middle of the farmland. read more

The tangerines I bought there were dried out and on the verge of being sour. I'm not the green grocery so I would expect them not to sell rotten fruit. read more

This place is really cute with parking out front and directly on highway one (1) near several farms. They are open daily from 10am to 5:30pm and have all your produce needs. My roommate wanted to get some phresh berries and avocados and couldn't wait for Thursdays farmer's market in SLO so we came here on a warm Sunday afternoon. The space is small, yet clean and well stocked. They are known for their strawberries and flowers, but carry everything from dressings and vinaigrettes to jellies, preserves, organic nuts, several kinds of honey and phresh vegetables. . Prices here are much better than your local grocer. You get more bang for your buck with fruit baskets starting at $4 and avocados under $2. Being in a heavy Latino community, most fruit stand owners/workers here speak mostly Spanish and thus did not make a serious effort to converse with us so it's best to practice simple Spanish phrases to interact and build rapport with the employees. . If you're on the road in the central coast and want healthy snacks that don't cost an arm and a leg, stop here. They also vend at San Luis Obispo's farmer's market on Thursday evenings from 6pm-9pm! read more

I love Hayashi's stand on PCH I also like to visit them at the farmers market on Wednesday morning located in the smart n final shopping center on grand ave. I wasn't prepared for what I wanted to buy today when I visited the stand I usually bring my own reusable canvas bag or a another box. It was a spontaneous stop for goods. I love that I'm so fortunate to live so close to such wonderful farmers. Last week I left a tip and I was surprised with a song and dance!!! Not sure why it never occurred to me to tip before, but this day my hands were full so I simply said you keep the change and wow! So happy to make their day! Wish I could do that all the time. I do what I can. Thank you to all that work at Hayashi's and make it possible! I appreciate you! read more

My family has been going to the fruit stand for years when on vacation in Pismo Beach AMAZING

Great people, great food. Such a nice family. Great part of the community that makes Arroyo Grande feel like home

Absolutely beautiful fruit. We stopped by twice in our one week in the Pismo area and both times got big, juicy berries and perfectly ripe apricots. I got blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, apricots, and blackberries. I don't even like blackberries but these were good! They were having trouble with the credit card service but were working on it while I was there the second time. The woman at the counter gave me the information to pay using Venmo which made my life much easier. All the people working there were friendly and helpful. If I lived closer I would be in there at least twice a week. read more

It is a good thing that I have continued to stop by here periodically, on different months, over the past few years, since they do indeed carry local produce, when it is in season. It also helps to ask what is local since it may or may not be labeled. Today, in the fall, they had an abundance of all kinds of local fruits and veges. Some prices are quite reasonable, such as for Pumpkins or corn. Therefore, I am now a fan of this little stand. While they had nice berries, no matter where you shop now, the only cost effective local berries are Strawberries. They are now a seasonal stand and grow quite a bunch of produce in the fields in the back. Since most things are ripe and at the end of the season, you can find good deals on produce in lots of places. This place also does carry the very hard to find fresh Garlic whole cloves from Gilroy. While not cheap, they are far superior to the Garlic that may be from China in some supermarkets. Hayashi's also has a line of canned goods and some other items. While I hit many of the local stands [e.g. Rutiz] and better local Farmer's Markets in some of the surrounding towns [i.e. Arroyo Grande on Sat. noon; Madonna Plaza in SLO @ 8AM; Los Osos/Baywood Mon. from 2-4PM; etc.], you never know what & where you might find more unusual items such as raisins drying on the stem, Passion fruit, Asian Pears, Concord Grapes, Shitake Mushrooms, and more, unless you look around. Hayashi's has a wide range of products and is generally far better than what can be found at Whole Paycheck market for example. It also is a part of a nice drive in either the farmlands or more rural areas. It is also on the way to the fascinating town of Guadalupe & beyond via Hwy #1. read more

Hayashi Vegetable Stand - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Oceano, California

This is one of my favorite local farmstands!! Their staff is super friendly and always have great suggestions on the best items!! My go to are the strawberries! I always grab a 3 pack of them and the blackberries as well! They are delish and so fresh!!!! Every once in a while they have amazing cherries and veggies too! Prices are not as bad either, comparable prices to vons but these fruits are much better than the ones at the local grocery stores. As far as parking goes.. it's less busy during the week, and make sure not to go too late in the day. The traffic piles up on Halcyon right by the stand and is only dirt parking, so no one is parking any certain way-- which can be a challenge if someone blocks your view to the road. As far as COVID guidelines.. they are outside but still ask you wear a mask, and the staff picks out the fruit or veggies for you, but you're allowed to walk in and look to see what they have. Which is good.. it limits the amount of hands that touch your food. Their staff wears masks and gloves and are very good to only have one person taking payments. Which they allow for cash and card payments (not all local farm stand stands take Cc). So all in all.. I most definitely recommend stopping here to support local businesses and to fill your belly with fresh, delicious eats!! read more

I happened to stumble upon this family fruit stand on my drive to Monterey. I was blown away but how flavorful all the vegetables and fruit tasted. The strawberries are by far the best strawberries I've had stateside. They aren't sour or hard like the ones you usually get at the market. The strawberries from Hayashi was so similar to the ones I used to eat as a child in Japan. It almost makes me wonder if they brought seeds back from Japan to grow here. If you get anything from here, I highly recommend the strawberries. You wont regret it. read more

Friendly, similar to the other stand but less frequented probably due to location. Strawberries overall weren't as sweet, but ideally they are better early summer. read more

We love stopping by here when we are in town over summer. I love the strawberries and how fresh and juicy they are, and I especially love the snacks from Paso Almonds. I bought the brittle corn last time we were in town, and this time bought the almond brittle and both are so good! read more

Amazing! Sooo much selection and the owner is so sweet! The location is super easy to access. Parking is alongside the farm stand on Highway 1. They are currently packing the produce for you to reduce the risk of COVID, which I thought was awesome. The girl that was bagging my stuff was not friendly, but the owner made up for it. There are so many options...fruit, veggies, flowers, nuts, etc. The prices were super fair and they even will have little specials on certain items. I loved my experience and will be back (though they might take me a while because I bought A LOT)! read more

Great selection of vegetables, hot sauces and salad dressing!! Local favorite go-to for fresh vegetables.

What an amazing flower bouquet selections. These flowers are beautiful and smell very nice. You can not find a better price for such a large bouquet. Thank you Hyashi Fruit Stand, truly awesome. Love them so much, we purchased two. Highly recommended. read more

This is a nice little farm with quite a bit of options available. They grow their own fruits and vegetables. Their strawberries looked so good that I took some home. They were sweeter & Juicier than what you would find at the supermarket. A half crate was $14 which is pretty reasonable. Definitely would stop by here the next time I am in the Pismo area. read more

Their fruits and vegetables are outstanding. We've tried different places to pick up both and I love the strawberries. Prices are reasonable and easy to get to, highly recommend. read more

Wow! Fresh fruit, ripen on the vine/tree/bush coming to you! If you have only had supermarket fruit, don't miss the chance to visit this vegetable/fruit stand! You will help local farmers and will taste fruit ripe just perfectly. We are so blessed to have many fruit stands in the Central Valley and the Central Coast! Blueberries, strawberries, oranges, cherries are available with selections varying. They also have homemade jams, jellies and salad dressings. There is also a selection of nuts for snacking. They do accept credit cards! What did I get?: strawberries, cherries, asparagus, green beans and a small jar of strawberry preserves! Have fun this summer: check out farmers markets, fruit stands, pick your own fruit! You will be glad that you did! read more

Absolutely wonderful family. The fruit and veggies are fresh and delectable. Prices are great for the freshness of the products.

Nice family run local farm stand. Always has fresh fruit and nice flower bouquets. The fresh local berries are my favorites!

This quick stopover drive-thru vegetable stand offers a wide variety of farm fresh fruits and vegetables, local snacks like Paso almond brittle, a wide range of fruit jams and savory sauces. Missed out on getting Hayashi strawberries at the Thursday SLO farmer's market? No worries, you can always come to the the Hayashi vegetable stand which is open 7 days a week and is located at Oceano; about 30 min. drive from San Luis Obispo. yippy! read more

I've been to Hayashi numerous times, it's on my usual route. More often than not I get home wishing I'd gone somewhere else like the grocery store, or driven further to another produce stand. I find my interaction with the staff generally not pleasant. They're not usually helpful about what's being sold, going as far as giving poor advice because they don't know an answer. I've been charged different prices than what's marked. They have a tendency to hide berry baskets with bad fruit. They hover over you and don't let you check what you're buying, as they say, because of Covid. I'd prefer not having to check if past experience didn't prompt me to do so. Go to Okui's 5 mins down the road for fruit. Their vegetables are decent, however, not better quality or price than you'd find local elsewhere. This last visit, I really had it. Being charged more than what's marked and being duped by the berry baskets again. I don't do small frequent trips but rather 1-2 bigger trips a month. For what I paid at Hayashi, I found I should just subscribe to a produce box, even with the shipping. I just signed up for Talley Farms Box. I hear great things about what Hayashi used to be. That hasn't been my experience. read more

WoW! Check out their fresh flowers! The Lily bouquets (July 2014) are stunning!! I mean knock anyone's socks off beautiful!!!!! The produce is very good. I'd say more 4 star than 5 but still quite good. Also, they will tell you themselves, they are not an organic produce stand. read more

Nice little stand right on the main road on our way to Pismo Beach. Too bad we missed out on the summer fruit season because I would have loved to pick up some peaches or nectarines to munch on while on our road trip. This basket of gourds caught my eye and even though I have no idea what to do with these other than use them as decoration, I picked up a basket because it was only $2. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hayashi-vegetable-stand-oceano?select=dPtt2VO5ME3Nb7FQzopHcg#WCgvT-hYrjUJSQl0QCkQOw Found some interesting house brand goodies (everything from pickled items to fruit preserves) and picked up a delicious Vidalia Onion/Poppyseed dressing and Raspberry honey. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hayashi-vegetable-stand-oceano?select=dPtt2VO5ME3Nb7FQzopHcg#uHOijB9d6aSNc_kZmhXjxA There were other munchies & candies, but we were just starting our road trip and decided to buy a little bit here and there on our way. Produce quality looked good and the prices were reasonable. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/hayashi-vegetable-stand-oceano?select=dPtt2VO5ME3Nb7FQzopHcg#IAlKkr9S4MVe2FOW9jxDbQ It was worth stopping by. read more

I don't find the staff as friendly here as at other stands. They don't seem knowledgeable about where their produce comes from and when I asked "what's perfectly ripe today?" I was told, "it's all about the same." That just doesn't sell me?! The few things I have picked up from here haven't tasted great and some of them (strawberries and peaches) ended up being overripe or even rotting within a few days so definitely carefully check the whole basket of what you purchase from here! It seemed like they were hiding the older fruit under the newer stuff. The stand is in a location that is convenient for many people passing by to stop, however, it can be tricky getting out of there once your parked. Sometimes there is traffic and it can be dangerous pulling out into it. read more

Any day of the week, or month of the year, I'd put this vegetable/fruit stand up against anyone else's. The friggin' strawberries are the biggest and yet still sweetest strawberries I've ever had. Not to mention the head of broccoli I saw that was bigger than a bowling ball. If you need fresh veggies or the best strawberries on the Central Coast, try Hayashi's. You won't be disappointed! read more

After looking, and trying, several other stands we have settled on this long established (15 years +) stand. Why? The corn is fresh, the blueberries arrive every Friday and are great! Strawberries, cherries, nectarines (yellow and white) are here. The downside is the prices are not particularly cheap compared to the supermarkets, and you do have to scrutinize what you purchase (common sense) but if you are a picky/choosy consumer, you will enjoy this farm to table stand! read more

I live near Hayashi and stop now and then. They have a large variety of fruits and veggies as well as some good jarred stuffed olives and such. They provide a great set of flowers for the best price. It is also convenient, especially if you only need a couple of items. read more

And the prices are great. read more

I stopped this past Tuesday for some strawberries and got a 3 pack for $6. I dropped them off at home and ran my son down to his tee ball practice. When we got home he dove into the strawberries - they were good, but only the ones on the top. The ones on the bottom looked a bit old. I figured it wasn't a big deal because we eat strawberries very quickly, so I stuck them in the fridge. After work the very next day as I'm getting a few to wash I noticed a lot of them were growing mold. What!!?!?!?! Not cool sticking such old strawberries at the bottom - I won't be back here for strawberries...too many other fruit stands I've visited don't do that to you. Buyer beware and check out the berries at the bottom of the container!!! read more

Love this place!! Their prices are so reasonable! We always stop when we are in the area. The strawberries are the best!
