There's a reason Paula is saved in my phone as the "Berkeley Bee Queen"... she's the best!…read more She clearly loves the bees so much and she is so knowledgable. I'm a furst time beekeeper this year and Paula has helped me get everything I need from boxes to the bees themselves. I wouldn't have the happy hive I now have in my backyard if it weren't for Paula's generosity!

(Long, but detailed) One day a swarm arrived and by night fall they had settled into the shrubs…read morealong the walkway to my front door. It is also very near the sidewalk that gets a lot of foot traffic from people walking to the park across the street. I knew this was a dangerous situation and came to Yelp looking for a beekeeper to take the bees away, What I was shown, however, were more pest control types who, while not harming the bees, would charge an arm and a leg. The next morning I posted on NextDoor and within a minute Paula messaged me offering her hive relocation services. She and a friend were there within the hour, settling the queen and her minions in the bee box (I don't know the technical term, sorry). She left the box for the day, giving all of the bees and scouts a chance to be reunited with their queen. When the sun went down she came and collected the box. In the morning, there were no bees floating around! Paula is an excellent communicator, letting me know the status every step of the way. Her team graciously answered my questions and were very polite and took great care in respecting my property. When Paula returned for the box, she did not disturb me or my family. She sent a text when all was said and done. Very, very easy and I feel assured that the bees are getting the best treatment. I was very impressed by the team's passion for the bees and the great care with which they were handled. It made me wish my children were small again so they could enjoy the adventure! In addition, Paula brought me a jar of her honey. A very special treat that I had to try right away. The honey has a distinctive and unique flavor that I have never tasted before. I wish I could put into words the flavors that hit my tongue, but suffice it to say it is much bolder than a typical, even locally harvested, honey. Of course, I had to check out Paula's website where I found other bee related products on offer. I had just the day before been looking for my healing balm that I usually get from Burt's Bees (green label). I have no idea where it went, but I needed some and purchased the calendula/lavender balm from Paula. She set it near my door when she came to collect the bees and sent me a text that it was there, saving me from having to get up and answer the door. I used the balm a couple of hours later. It is not as thick as Burt's Bees, which works better than having that solid balm to warm up and spread. I didn't need as much of Paula's balm as I usually use of the other, more solid balm. My skin is very touchy and the calendula/lavender blend is one I know that works without issue, so I am thankful to have found Paula and her quality bee related products!!

Green Valley Produce offers most basic veggies and fruits at a reasonable price. Other products…read moreavailable are grains, pasta, dairy and some canned food. Their hours can sometimes be a little inconsistent at times. They are usually open everyday even on holidays and offer delicious fruits in the summertime. Parking lot is kept clean but you have to drive in slowly if you have a low car. I've scratched my bumper a few times driving in too quickly. My fault, not theirs. Atmosphere is usually quiet, people don't tend to browse and usually go in and out. Staff is friendly and helpful with finding specific produce. I would definitely encourage everyone in the area to support their small business.

I mainly visited for the fresh roasted peanuts which was the big draw here over the years. Sizes ranging from a small, medium to large bag @ $3.99/lb. The medium will get you a lb. Not sure when they were roasted but still good. Green Valley Produce is a small open store/stand offering fruits, some veggies, (no fresh herbs) and Middle Eastern spices, some vacuum-sealed meats, lentils, olive oils, dates, and some all meat puff pastry and vegetarian pies made locally. I left with some okra, yams, garlic, ginger spices, homemade beef pies...and of course, roasted peanuts. *** Overall 3.5 stars *** Pricing on fruit reasonable considering I just went to the Farmer's Market and noticed Green Valley selling the same Cara Cara oranges for 1.89/lb vs $3.89/lb which will get ya 4 oranges! I'm all for supporting small business but sheesh! Open 7 days a week from 830am - 730pm I wouldn't go out of your way to stop by unless you're wanting some roasted peanuts, reasonably-priced fruit and veggies and in the area. Support small business! Plenty of lot parking in front and located off B Street, next block over from Grocery Outlet

But they did have Thai Holy Basil and my husband was excited. We can make ka prow. So we found the cold noodle stall. Ordered. The mild is not spicy at all, and the spicy was like a medium. So definitely get spicy if you want some kick. But if you plan to come here for this, either come early or somehow pre-order (although I don't know their website info). We wanted to try it first before grabbing a few more for our friends. But they told us they were "sold out" for preorders. Well that's a bummer! How are you going to market yourself if folks wander the farmers market and want to try your noodles?? Ah well, solid choice, but don't expect to be able to get a bowl! Empanadas were MEH. Mamabakehouse was a good choice if you love kouign amanns. Easy parking is a plus!

I've been coming here for a few years and find it a great place to pick up fruits and veggies, and some farm fresh eggs! The number of vendors varies by season, but some of them are there year round. It's great to pick up the seasonal vegetables and know that you are supporting a small business. It's best to arrive early, because parking can get challenging and the good seasonal veggies go fast. The vendors are friendly and helpful and even give you suggestions on how a vegetable should be cooked if you ask! They also have a baked goods stall with a variety of bakery products and another selling hummus and chips. There are other ready to eat stalls as well, which I haven't tried. The compact size of this market makes it great to pop in & out quickly for produce!
