Nicolau Farms is a staple in many of our San Diego county farmers markets. I discovered them recently during a visit to Encinitas farmer's market of Wednesday night and I had the opportunity to try different type of artisan goat cheese, their specialty. Not only loved the cheese and it was good price and totally fresh, but also I liked the great selling attitude of the shop owner. He was offering samples to everybody and educating potential customers of how certain types of cheese are made, the ingredients, the properties and how good is for our health.

Seriously! I'm at New Leaf Market in Pleasanton. Waiting for Nicolau Farm to set up the tasting station. The sign said a rep will be here at 10:00 am. It's 10:48 and the guy is still setting up. What a waste of time.

Oh, I ate it ALL. And then licked the plate.

This review is for the stall at the Davis Famers Market. The gentleman working the stall was very…read morefriendly and knowledgeable. He had a few cheeses to try - but we were sold on the first and only one we did try - the aged gouda. Even without being room temperature it is so creamy and so smooth with a good tang to it. They had a good selection, especially for a famers market. Including some goat cheese and baked goods (like a cheesecake brownie). And from being a midwesterners daughter, I really appreciated they had cheese curds for sale. They are also fairly priced, the aged gouda was 12 a pound. Making our cheese purchase about 10 dollars. They took Apple Pay which made it easy . We are hoping to make it out to the location sometime, looks like a tasty and fun time!

Delicious locally made Gouda cheese!…read more We were driving by and caught a glimpse of a sign for a cheese factory but we didn't see it until we passed it. So, we turned around and then, even though looking for it now, we passed it again. This time, after turning around once more, we saw it in time to turn into the driveway. -- They need a more visible sign... Outside, there is a picnic area by a pond and covered porch. There are picnic tables to eat what you will purchase in the store. Inside there is a store with cheese for sale, along with samples so that you can taste the cheese. There are many varieties that are made here. Most are forms of Gouda (pronounced khow-da (with a guttural H sound as the first syllable)). We really enjoyed the Gouda with Fenugreek ($8.47 for a wedge). They can also make a grilled cheese sandwich ($4.50) and a cup of soup ($4.00). We got several kinds of their delicious cheese and consumed it over the next many days of our trip. We live in Los Gatos and were delighted to learn that they sell their cheese at the Sunday Farmers' Market in Mountain View. So after returning home, we phoned them a few days before a Sunday with our order to pick up at the Mountain View Farmers' Market . The advance order is advisable since at the market it is first-come-first-served and you favorites may sell out before you get to their booth. When we got to the Farmers' Market around noon and picked up our order, we were told that it was good that we pre-ordered since several of the cheeses we ordered were already sold out (except for our reserved order).

Unable to find these quality cheeses locally in Austin, TX, we now have it direct shipped from the farm. They take great care to make sure it arrives safe and sound.

He said "No, there's actually Beer IN the cheese!" "No way," I thought. "WAY," he said, grinning. That was our introduction to Fiscalini Farmstead, a dairy and Cheese maker Par Excellence, here in California's Central Valley. Needless to say, on future shopping escapades, we sought out the "Beer cheese," when one sad day, they were OUT! [Sad face]. I found their website and proceeded to promptly order their 'Everything but the kitchen sink" variety pack, adding an extra Craft Beer Cheddar for good measure. We're about through that assortment and, wow! This is some excellent cheese. The Farmhouse Cheddar we started sampling first, is good, but the San Joaquin Gold and Aged Cheddar were great!. We also enjoyed the Purple Moon and Habanero Cheddar, and to a lesser degree the Balsamic & Onion and Truffle Cheddars. We were really happy to find this California Gem and will be happy to enjoy their products going forward!

My favorite is their "Bloody Mary" almonds. They are so addicting I always have to keep some on hand. BBQ, mesquite, and maple are other favorites. I've tried all their flavors and the only one I didn't care for was the Asiago. I usually avoid sweets but they have a "Taco Truck" brittle that's like crack. Strawberries and cream are amazing too! Only reason I cannot give 5 stars is their customer service. It's non existent. I had an issue with my order and could not get any help. I emailed everyone listed on their website, I tried the "contact us" section on their website, and called. Zero luck. So instead I wrote a 1 star review on their website for the product and the owner contacted me same day. He resolved my issue yet deleted my review. That means their reviews are selective but I can honestly say 90% of their products are 5 stars. Give these guys a shot. Great prices, great products, bad customer service! Perfect for Christmas too. I've sent gift packs to friends and they were a hit.

There's plenty of parking there. We arrived around 8:15am, and we were abit disappointment in the trees as most of the blossoms have fallen off. We walked further down into the farm, and then we found some of the trees still have some blossoms. It looked like snow covered because of the fallen flower petals. We had a lovely time taking pictures and little videos. Because of the time restraint, we didn't visit the farm stand. I would definitely visit the next time I go. It's free to visit. I definitely recommend going to the Secret Garden afterwards for a lovely brunch/lunch/or dinner. That's what we did. :) Also, I think it would have been better to go visit in mid/late February because the trees would have more of the blossoms.

Absolutely love all of the snacks this place has to offer!!…read more Being a lover of charcuterie boards, I decided to go all out and make a premium creation using pistachios and lucque olives. The lucque olives are not your typical briny olives that we get at the market, and the flavor was fresh and delicious. As you would expect picking a fresh olive I would imagine. We tried both the roasted garlic & herbs as well as roasted garlic & jalapeno and herbs. Both were an amazing addition. Another delicious treat was Hunter's pistachios. These are not simply dusted like you may find at the market, they really flavor them well and you can see and taste the seasonings on the shell. We tried both the mild (hatch chilis, garlic, and sage), as well as the hot (jalapeno, garlic, and sage). Both were truly amazing, although my husband preferred the hot variety as they had a nice kick. We also were able to try some pure lemon syrup. With a sweet lemony flavor, it is truly good on so many things. We enjoy it as a glaze on chicken, fish, or in tea. I will be trying it on ice cream next!!! We keep coming up with new uses all the time as we love the flavor of this syrup. I am dying to restock and try the sweetened and dipped orange and lemon slices the next time. These treats are healthy and delicious, and we are very happy to have tried Hunter's Homegrown!
