    Local nuts

    When in the Salinas region, star market is a must stop for unique, local and quality groceries. Their prices are reasonable, and customer service is always took notch. Victor in the wine isle spent time educating us on the history of the different vineyards and helped us pick out two bottles of Cab. He greeted us with a smile on his face and seemed to love what he does. They even had print outs on the history of different wines for you to take with you! Be sure to browse the isles because you never know what unique finds you'll stumble across. This is my go-to stop in the area!

    Coming from the Bay Area this place kind of reminded me a little of Trader Joe's and Whole Foods. Definitely my new go-to market.

These are truly the world's best artichokes, along with amazing snacks, plants, produce, and other delicious treats. Be sure to try the artichoke cupcake with cream cheese frosting. It's similar to zucchini bread, not too sweet, and yes, it actually has artichoke pieces inside. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and happy to answer any questions you may have. They offer artichokes in several sizes (extra small, small, medium, large, and jumbo), along with cooking directions, recipes, and tips. But honestly, these are by far the best artichokes anywhere. The leaves have so much meat on them, it's incredible. I cannot stress enough how amazing they are. What else would you expect from the artichoke capital of the world, from a family that has been doing this for over 80 years? They also sell cheese, fresh produce, spices, oils, jams, honey, homemade loaves of bread, and so much more. It is definitely worth the stop. We usually leave with a huge haul and start counting down the days until our next visit, because nothing else compares. And don't miss the artichoke food truck on site. We had artichoke tacos and deep-fried artichokes with dill dip. Everything was fresh, delicious, and not greasy at all. Stop by and pay them a visit. There is something for everybody.

This Farm is one of the original (maybe *the* original??) farms that started growing Castroville's famous Italian Green Globe Artichokes. The Good: *Bigger than the usual farmstand, as this place is pretty epic with tons of great stuff from not just their own Farm, but other neighboring farms and other local producers. *As fresh as it gets, as most of the produce is grown from within feet to a few miles away. *Artichoke cupcake was delicious! Seriously. Try it. :) The Meh: *Parking lot is smallish but it's ample. *Service was, well, it got the job done and not much beyond that. The Ugly: *Prices are a little high, but I still always try and buy a few things to support them. Conclusion: Definitely worth a stop if your traipsing thru the Central Coast.

    I love supporting local shops and buying from farmers' markets, but this Barn Fresh Produce is more…read moreof a roadside "catfish" with its giant colorful wooden signs and enticing promotional promises. I've stopped by before to buy fruit, which was okay (ie, small), but this time, I walked inside the building. Holy toledo, Batman, the products were coated under thick layers of dust and had mouse traps tucked in-between and underneath! There were boxes and cleaning supplies strewn about, and animals lying around the food. I was afraid I'd spot a tail hanging out of a hole or see something run by my feet based on how many traps were in the store. There may not be any sure proof way to keep pests out of indoor-outdoor markets, but they can at least keep the place cleaner and more organized, like not leave cleaning supplies right next to the food. I was also surprised that the prices were steep for what looked like products that haven't been moved in a long time. Barn Fresh Produce is not worth the stop for me, but if you are dying for fruit, I'd stick to the ones kept outside and make sure to wash it well before consuming.

    I really enjoyed stopping at this farm stand. I wouldn't say the quality is as good as at a…read morefarmer's market but the avocados and artichokes were definitely a great deal and fresh . Lots of sizes of both - tiny avocados were seven for 1$ and there were loads of midsize and large avocados too. A few different varieties. Same for the articles. I loved the signage and had to take photos of all the old timey signs. So fun. I think it is definitely worth a stop especially for artichokes and avocados. I picked up some fresh corn and Gilroy garlic too.
