All the pies looked good, but I won't know how it tastes since it's not for me. My friends ordered slices and they seemed a bit small; the cost per slice is more than for a quarter of a whole pie, but the size seemed much smaller. I guess it pays to buy the whole pie! Very popular shop. There was a line when we arrived and a line when we left. The pie shop is next door to the store where they sold apples and fresh apple juice. There were cups of apple juice in the fridge that you could help yourself to as samples; very refreshing and delicious. The store also sold lots of kitchen knickknacks and some toys and fun things. Made for a great stop.

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!

Why put lettuce on an enchilada? It was ok, not a lot of flavor. I miss the deli sandwiches. Doubt we'll be back.

My husband went in to inquire about it and the associate pointed him to the porta potty in the parking lot. I wasn't thrilled about this but had no other options. As my daughter and I were crossing the lot, the associate noticed us and waved us in, saying that the porta potty is only for men and that women could use the actual bathroom located inside, which was good for us. It wasn't the cleanest facility but it was much better than the porta potty that had sh*t smeared on the seat, blech. They have so much stuff inside this market, the aisles are cramped with you trying to walk through because the shelves are so stocked. Definitely a good place to stock up on any supply that you would want.

Located in the quaint town of Aromas, inside the old Firehouse Market (listed as "Independent" on my map), you'll discover this hidden gem near the liquor section--a true food haven. The Mexican cuisine here is crafted by the same talented lady every time, and she has the magic touch. While there's no space to eat inside or outside, the burrito is simply to die for. The service is wonderful; she always greets you with a smile and takes your order with genuine warmth. I ordered an Asada burrito, ensuring to ask for extra sauce. She knows exactly what she's doing! The ratio of beans, rice, and meat is perfectly balanced. The burrito offers a deliciously flavorful combination without the usual mushiness found elsewhere. The meat is perfectly seasoned and moist, complemented by a salsa that, though a bit spicy for me, might be just right for you. They don't skimp on the meat, making it a satisfyingly hearty burrito! Each bite is a symphony of flavors in your mouth, thanks to the harmonious blend of rice, beans, meat, and that incredibly flavorful salsa. I had to visit three times to confirm this burrito was as good as I thought, and it hit the spot every single time. The consistency in quality is remarkable. This place knows what it takes to make a great burrito. Please, never change the cook--that's the key!

Peter Piper picked a peck of purple peppers…read more Wait? What did Peter Piper pick? Purple peppers? I kid you not! Okay, maybe it wasn't Peter Piper who picked them, but he could have had he visited the Nunez Farm. It's a fact that purple bell peppers have been around since the mid-80's, but this was the first time I've ever walked upon rows upon rows of them in a field. The purple bell peppers are just one of the crops being harvested at Guillebaldo Nunez' vegetable farm in Watsonville. Artichokes Basil Bell Peppers (Green) Broccoli Butter Lettuce Cabbage (Green) Carrots Celery Collard Greens Fennel Heirloom Tomatoes Kale (Green) Leeks Pink Swiss Chard Potatoes Purple Kale Puple Thai Basil Rainbow Swiss Chard Red Beets Red Cabbage Red Lettuce Swiss Chard White Corn Yellow Swiss Chard Zucchini That's just a fraction of the crops being grown on the Nunez Farm, and it's all organic! That's right! Pesticide and chemical free! When our bus driver missed his turn Guillebaldo jumped into his truck and drove out to the main road to escort our bus into his farm. We were there for the last stop on on our education-filled farm tour. The Nunez Farm is incredible in size, and all of the crops are sold in farmers markets throughout Northern California and at Whole Foods stores under the brand "ALBA Organics". Guillebaldo walked us out to his fields to show us the rainbow of Swiss chards that he has planted. Green, orange, yellow, red, pink - just a variety of colors. I had never seen the yellow ones before and I was fascinated by them. On the same field were green and purple kale. I'd never had kale before and sampled some right there as a leaf was pulled off a plant and passed around to sample. We learned about the nutritious aspect of the kale as well as planting techniques and even ways to cook them. On the opposite side of the field were rows upon row of gigantic heirloom tomatoes hanging on thin sturdy vines. We were told that the fruits had just been picked that morning, but Guillebaldo told us that if we found any other ripe ones in there we were welcomed to pick it. Some of our group got really lucky when Guillebaldo found a whole plant unpicked. I missed out as I had stopped to take photos of big green tomatoes. To the opposite side of the tomato crops was a huge eye opener as we saw a gigantic color-filled farm that seemed to stretch forever. Guillebaldo gave us a quick rundown of all of his crops back there and offered to pick whatever our group requested. His generous offer turned up big red beets, ripe artichoke and handfuls upon handfuls of traditional green and Thai purple basil. The hit of the farm was the beautiful purple bell peppers. Guillebaldo said these were a first-time crop for him and he welcomed us onto the field to pick our own. He cracked one open, broke it into several pieces and passed it around for us to sample. The meat is slightly thinner than that of a green bell pepper, but these were so much sweeter. I might have missed out on the tomatoes but no way did I miss out on these. Time wasn't on our side; otherwise, we might have walked off with a lot more fresh produce than we did. A big thanks goes to Guillebaldo Nunez for opening up his farm to us. I'll be looking for that ALBA brand next time I'm shopping for organics. Where are the photos? Right here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/26-2milesandmore/sets/72157621625559039/
