This is a great locally owned business. Andy farms like we used to in the Santa Clara Valley, with…read moregood quality fruit and local walnuts. He really does the best for his customers as does his assistant Lisa Silva. HIs dried apricots are miles ahead of the poor quality imported "Mediterranean apricots" from Turkey which are tasteless and colorless. The quality is well worth the price at Andy's. Stop and try the almond brittle. It beats peanut brittle hands down.

Went cherry picking here in early June…read more Very simple. You "check in", they give you a bag(s) and a grasper for high up ones if you're serious (we weren't that serious). You walk around picking the cherries you want. The trees are marked to indicate the different varietals. You put them in your bag, and you go back to the table to pay for what you picked. Great date idea. There are a couple photo spots designed for Instagram type photos. We didn't use those, just took regular pics. And the whole thing cost like $10 for both of us. That's less than 2 coffees and you get the cherries too. Make sure to check in advance as crops aren't always predictable.

It was our first time at Mariani and we had a great time picking cherry ..though, we went toward…read moreend of cherry picking season ( last weekend be 6/12/26)? , there was still plenty of nice ripe cherry to pick , small to large sizes , even some at toddler height level . No outside bags or buckets allowed, they will give u plastics bags ... wear good shoes cuz there were many fallen cherry on certain parts and dirts on the grounds. I would recommend shoes you don't mind getting dirty or stained. Parking was small but we still found parking at the entrance maybe cuz we went toward end of the season and later in the afternoon. If going on warm spring weather , bring a hat or umbrella., there were still plenty of shades under cherry trees as walk tree to tree or row to row . We got carried away and end up picking 6 lb +, cost added up fast . 6.50$ per pound for cherry and 3.50$ / lb for apricots . Both cherry and apricots were sweet ! Distanced only 20 mins from San Jose Central area , which is great location if you are in nearby town/city .

We go here every year This time there was a woman at…read moreentrance asking every details about entry (I came to pick something from the car for baby) and she wanted to know if I was with someone. We were carrying diaper bag with water and snacks for our baby and she asked if it was cooler and insisted on checking before entry. When we exited we did not pick cherries and decided and not buy a bag this time. She came running and asked if we got green stickers. Upon explaining her we are not buying them, she gave us a long look and wanted to look in our babys diaper bag again. We showed her and went back to car. Not a pleasant experience.

Produce is fresh, flowers are beautiful and the people at the Morgan Hill farmers market are…read morepersonable, knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely stop by if you're at the Morgan Hill farmers market and take a look at their produce and I am almost positive you will end up purchasing what they are selling.

Support your local farms!…read more I love that they always have a variety of in-season fruit, veggies, herbs and also have local bread (Midwife and Baker yum!!) and coffee (Chromatic, also yum!) options available. I pick-up at a nearby location and they're always on-time, mostly early. If there are any issues with your order (only had this happen once with eggs missing), they're super quick to resolve over email, and super friendly too. Sometimes their emails slip through into Spam, so make a note and add them to your contacts to avoid missing your weekly emails including delivery and selections! Five stars!

The pumpkin patch is so much fun at Spina farms. The staff was great, the event was well staffed,…read morelots of parking, and good old fashioned fun. The only part that was lacking a little bit were the food choices. I hope they improve on those as time goes on and they continue to grow. But other than that, everything was fantastic and we had a great night.

Leaving the place was so bad. People were so impatient and inconsiderate of the lines. It's not a bad pumpkin patch, I just couldn't handle so much dirt flying. Overall, if you're willing to wait in long lines for rides and walk through dirt, give this place a try. P.S. we did enjoy seeing lots and lots of pumpkins and dinosaurs.

I heard that you can get free compost from mushroom growers, so I called Monterey Mushrooms…read more They give away free mushroom compost (up to 3 yds) weekdays, you should call for their hours. I've been told that it is hot compost, so it may need to sit for awhile before you can use it. I plan to amend my clay soil with it in hopes of planting veg someday. For now, I am digging out the bermuda grass and pre-sprouting weed seeds :o) Check out my photos for an idea of what to expect - they uploaded in random order. Bring a tarp and weights (I used pavers) or tie downs to cover your load. A pair of gloves and a small stiff rake might be helpful too!

Kept in the dark and fed sh*t!!!!! Sounds tasty huh!…read more You need to know where the stuff comes from that becomes who you are. With thousands of varieties, over a 1000 are poisionous. So thank GOD for the shroom company. Some think mushrooms have no nutritional value. Mushrooms DO have vitamins and metals good for the body. Also, they are high in fiber, and low in sodium and other bad stuff. But, most importantly, they's delicious. It's obviously a farm and distribution location. But, having the opportunity to see the facility, I respect the shroom a bit more.

The meat selection and quality here is superb! I can personally vouch as I've had their A5 Japanese…read moreWagyu New York Strip and it was PHENOMENAL! For a period of time, I was getting my wagyu steaks from Costco for a stellar price per pound when it was in-stock, but they stopped carrying it for a year and a half so it was time to find someplace else to get my wagyu fix. I decided one day to check out this carniceria after walking home from the local farmer's market and lo and behold, my precious wagyu strip steak was staring back at me whispering to buy it. You bet I bought the steak and on a whim too lol. It even came with a certificate of authenticity and a very nice paper bag! The market inside is very spacious and it's clear to me that they keep their store pretty clean as it did have a bleach-like odor. While their primary focus is selling various cuts of "elite" meat, they also offer a selection of marinated protein, and accoutrements. After securing the goods, my husband grilled that baby up and we devoured every sliver of medium rare goodness. It's fatty but in the best way possible and a little goes a long way in terms of getting and staying full. I will definitely be coming back here to try out other cuts of meat!

A once hidden gem, that is no longer…read more Pros: A great selection of meat Helpful staff Cons: They do not have their pricing out per all products, so don't be surprised if you all of the sudden pay $3-$4 more dollars a pound than a few weeks ago. Their prices have skyrocketed since I first started going here, save yourself some money and shop at Region. Also call prior to going, if you're stopping by right when they open or a few min prior to closing. I've stopped by before to find their store surprisingly closed during their "store hours".

I didn't want to make the drive all the way to Brentwood to just pick cherries. But as my family…read moreand I was on my way to Gizdich Ranch for strawberries, we actually pass this Farm and was super curious about it. So on our way back home we went here and it was pretty cool. I didn't realize how close Morgan Hill was to the Cupertino/San Jose area (~30 miles or less). It was a great experience. The entrance to the parking lot is very clear but it's only one way so if you see parking just park there. I saw cars park on the highway road because it was full. First you check in to pay admission for adults ( kids under 4 feet are free) then they hand you the bucket and your on your way. It was a bit muddy because of the rain the past few days so make sure to wear shoes you don't care about. We were a bit lost as to where we were allowed to pull but we found our footing and it was a fun hour experience. You can eat the cherries as you pick. They don't care. There's a lot of cherries at the bottom of the tree as well as on top for the kids to pick. But because of the weather and rain I saw more baby cherries or cherries that weren't ready to ripe yet. Maybe next weekend it will be better. When you check out, they weigh it and bag it in a plastic bag for you. Morgan Hill downtown is very close to here so you could go there for lunch or walk around to complete your Morgan Hill experience but you'll probably have to make a UTURN to get there. Check online for hours!

4/5 I was satisfied with how they handle themselves with…read morethe parking situation and they covid guidelines there. The line to get in is usually long and the longer I have seen it is at the front of the entrance. It is hard to find some good sweet cherries near the entrance, so you would have to walk half a mile away to get some good ones.
