Any time I'm in Wine Country, specifically in Sonoma, and it's Strawberry season (which is NOW) you better believe I'll stop here and get a few pints! The strawberries here are a deep red all the way through and are so super fragrant that you can smell them as you walk up to their stand! Service is super friendly and pleasant, and prices are justified for the bomb quality you get. Other types of fruit and produce are also sold here, but do not skip out on these strawberries. On my recent visit, we purchased half a flat(6 baskets) of berries to devour as is, and as a dessert course after dinner. It was a delicious Griddled Banana Bread Strawberry Shortcake and it was an instant hit! read more

This was our first stop for strawberries in the Napa and Sonoma area, and it did not disappoint. Make sure you bring cash! You really can't go wrong with these, they are so sweet and taste amazing. The folks working here were really nice as well, and there's plenty of parking available. read more

The strawberries were sooooo sweet and delicious ! And this is only April. Can't wait for May when they're in season

AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS STRAWBERRIES!!! It was meant to be - we were in the car reminiscing about the delicious strawberries we had in Japan and happened to be driving by the strawberry sign. I am so glad we stopped by. We got 3 baskets at first but after one bite, we bought another 3. These are FRESH strawberries in the likes that you've never seen in the grocery story. They are JUICY, SWEET, AND RED all the way through! Amazing! Some of the BEST I've ever had! Eat them fast though because they over ripen quickly. read more

If you've ever had a good strawberry, know that there's a place with better ones up in Sonoma County's titular town of Sonoma. The berries here are deep red inside, amazing when fresh during the season, and are affordable beyond belief. This place is simple, no frills, and doesn't advertise cause they know word gets around and they know those words aren't lie. You go up and pay for strawberries by the basket (and I highly recommend getting a full tray's 6 baskets cause you'll like them). They're really fast even when the lot is crowded because everyone just gets their strawberries and goes. Can you buy the various other vegetables they have in bags for $4 a bag, too? Yeah, but they really pale in comparison to the fruit that they've mastered. I wish there was more to say about Watmaugh, but that's really all there is. This place arguably has the best strawberries in the Bay Area (if not the entire country as other reviewers, also say and I 100% agree with for now). read more

Gosh I love living in Sonoma County! It's so fun to have farm stands all over the place especially when they specialize in such delicious treats. Today on my drive home from a work meeting I pulled off because they were open which was awesome midday on a Tuesday, to find a variety of strawberries, tomatoes, shell peas, chilies, okra, and homemade jam. No cards which is also no surprise. They do accept Venmo and cash. read more

Best strawberries around! Good prices and friendly service. Highly recommend! It's a stand outside and they have other seasonal veggies and fruits for sale besides the amazing strawberries. read more

Hidden Gem right here! I can't say enough about this place: super sweet fruits, fresh veggies, friendly service, welcome feels... just awesome overall! The stand is not overly obvious from Watmaugh rd (we stumbled upon it while on a driving detour), but it's easy to get in and out of there. Here's the fruit I've gotten (and highly recommended): strawberries, peaches, plums, and persimmons. The strawberries were addictively sweet and the peaches and plums were some of the best I've had! Go get some before the end of November (end of the season). I've also gotten: tomatoes and onions... which looked great but I didn't eat them so I can't speak to it. They have great daily veggie options though and I'm sure they are all quality. Do yourself (and your kids) a favor and go get some fruit from this stand now! read more

I am not crazy about strawberries because they are tasteless when you get them usually (at the store) but these were a different fruit - so juicy and sweet - One variety was Chandler and the other super sweet variety which had to be eaten within a few hours - amazing mouthwatering ... i never knew strawberries could taste like this ! glad i stopped by on way to Sonoma ....Asian guy who runs the stand was super helpful too read more

Absolutely the best strawberries we both have had in our lives. We got a small container to take on our way home but I wish I bought an entire slab. It's true that the strawberries are red all the way through and are absolutely delicious. I've never had one like this before and it has ruined me off of store bought berries. read more

Great produce and great prices, will definitely be going back. They can be quite busy, but the line moves quickly.

Amazing customer service. When they have their tiny strawberries in stock (May) they are the best strawberries I ever tried. 10/10. And the gentleman who helped us allowed me to use his hose to throughly wash my strawberries (I used a lot of water so thank you!). Amazing business. read more

AMAZING. Strawberries were not my bag...til I ate these Strawberries. Literally ate 2 pints. read more

Ventured over to Sonoma to stop here for strawberries as most the Petaluma locations didn't really have good produce. As we pulled up there was plenty of parking spots & a few people leaving. A very popular spot with the product to back that up. We could have gotten the full flat with how delicious these strawberries looked, but settled on a more reasonable amount for the five of us. Being cash only for most strawberry stops like these we came prepared & got the half flat of strawberries )($16) and a basket of yellow peaches ($4 for 4) for a total of $20.00. Looking at the flat, each of our kids were tempted to grab and eat an entire box to themselves so they are safely up front until we get home for a quick clean up before consuming our greatest summer craving. read more

Watmaugh Strawberries - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Sonoma, California

Hands down the VERY BEST strawberries you'll ever eat! Seasonal but worth the visit. Two varieties, small and large. We've mostly purchased the large ones but happened to get the small ones recently. I guess it depends on what they're harvesting. The small ones were very ripe and we had to eat them right away. But I'm not complaining! It was a strawberry feast! Juicy and delicious. Each and every one! They have other fruit too. Tried the cherries for the first time and they were beautiful and delicious! Small roadside stand and they sometimes sell out so go early. Family owned and just the nicest people! They are locally famous. Talk about Watmaugh strawberries and everyone knows exactly what you're talking about. Local restaurants also use them and will print it on the menu so you know you're getting the very best. Trust me, there is no grocery store that can beat these! Absolutely heavenly. read more

I come from Sacramento to Sonoma to get the only strawberries I'll ever eat. Friendly people and had other vegetables available.

Best strawberries EVER! Nice folks run the place too. You have never had a sweeter berry but use them as soon as possible, they don't last long... read more

I've come to the Watmaugh Strawberry stand since dinosaurs roamed the earth and they are still just as good now as they were back then when I was a wee tadpole! This past Sunday I was coming home from an event in Napa and decided to take Watmaugh home to avoid the Sunday traffic that builds up at 4 way stop at Bonneau/116/121. As I made my approach to Arnold Drive notice Watmaugh Strawberries and made a quick turn into their driveway. And those fresh fruit smells took my breath away. I ended up getting a nice healthy bag of green beans, 2 large cantaloupes that you could smell from a mile away and 3 baskets of the reddest & most fruitful smelling strawberries! When I got home I cut one of the cantaloupes open and it was delicious and sweet! I then washed the strawberries and tasted one, then two, then three, I just couldn't stop as they were so sweet and delicious! I ended up making fresh strawberry crepes with them! And the green beans were so fresh, they had that nice snap to them and were very flavorful! If you're looking for fresh and delicious fruits and vegetables then you need to stop here! Which reminds, me, I need to remember to come here more often, it's a bit out of my way but it's worth it! read more

Amazing strawberries and more! Staff and owners always so lovely. Worth the drive! Call first though, sometimes weather changes what is produced, if you do go and they're closed at least you've taken a beauty drive! read more

The best strawberries ever! They smell delicious and tasted out of this world! I will never buy strawberries from a grocery store again. read more

Watmaugh Strawberries - two baskets of strawberries - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Sonoma, California

Been hitting Watmaugh Strawberries for many years as it is a short drive from mi casa. I guess I might as well get it out the way, but their strawberries are not organic as many others mention. With that said though it should not take away from their awesome products! Most of their goods are worth the slightly lower price of the organics at Whole Foods or other various supermarkets, but the gem of the crop are the strawberries of course. I usually grab a couple baskets of strawberries which can last me from one day to 48 hours honestly as they are super tasty! I have not had any of their canned goods or other fruits as I am dreaming about ripe strawberries when I show up, but I am sure they are delectable as well. So a short review summed up, if you are in the neighborhood during the harvest season and your sweet yet healthy tooth is kicking in, I'd suggest giving this local strawberry stand some love! read more

Almost always super sweet...at a sweet price! Only way they'd be better is if they were organic. Our most recent visit was today on our way home to Novato after coming to the July 4th parade and cook-out with our sister church (First Baptist of Sonoma). We got a half flat (six baskets) of strawberries for $15, three baskets of blackberries for $10, a melon, and a couple mangoes (yes, they sell other produce besides strawberries). The kids couldn't stop eating the berries on the way home...nor could we...even though we were full of burgers and potato salad. read more

Yum! Strawberries that taste so delicious. They don't always make it home. Pretty busy, great to see everyone wearing their masks.

I drove 2 hours to this farm, looked like a small place with over 10 people lined up but decided to try them. I'm glad I tried, this has to be the sweetest strawberry I have ever tasted in my life. I will surely comeback. read more

Best strawberries! I also got some cherries and both fruits were so super sweet. It was like eating candy. You have to stop here and pick up some to try for yourself. They take cash or check only, so don't forget to go to the ATM beforehand. read more

I saw that other reviewers mentioned that this place was organic, I'm sad to say they are NOT ORGANIC and do not follow organic farming principles. They spray 'Round Up' in the spring (straight from the farmers mouth to my ear) to deal with weeds instead of hand pulling them. Although they claim to refrain from spray once the fruit is out, they certainly do not keep organic agricultural practices. Be aware and certainly mention it to them that you value this, maybe we can get them to transition. I love those strawberries too. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years and always eagerly await the opening and the beginning of strawberry season. These are the sweetest strawberries I have ever eaten and I eat strawberries anywhere they are offered, heck I even grow my own, but they don't measure up to Watmaugh ("what-ma", by the way). The strawberry jam is also really delicious and I pour it over vanilla ice-cream. read more

Darn good strawberries! Not the best I've ever had, but certainly the best I've ever bought. NO, the strawberries are not better than sex. The strawberries are picked when they are ripe and sold that day. They are perfect when you buy them. Eat them immediately, they don't last long. Early in season they are almost always sold out well before closing time, go early. read more

Best strawberries ever! So sweet and delicious. They're so ripe you have to eat them within a day or two, but that's not a problem. Yum!

I've never had strawberries taste like this. All of my friends say that they are better than sex. Sweet, juicy, and delicious. You'll never experience another strawberry like it anywhere else in the county. read more

I used to love this places strawberries. I probably still would, if I could buy them. The thing is, they're not open for business when they say they are. Just tried to go there today 7/24/21 at 2:45 pm and they were closing up as I pulled up. They post their business hours as open 'till 7pm. Not. I work for a living and can't be there until the afternoon. Their berries are the best, but what good is it if you can't buy them. read more

Came by here during memorial day weekend. Small stand that has delicious fresh strawberries and other produce. We got half a pallet of bright, sweet, juicy strawberries for $15 (a steal that comes out to $2.50 a basket, overflowing with strawberries), a bag of eggplants ($3), and a bag of fava beans ($3). The aroma of the strawberries filled out car on our drive home. Will definitely be back! read more

Omg. I can't say enough about the deliciousness that is a Watmaugh strawberry. Best strawberries I've ever had, hands down, and at a good price ($10 for 3 baskets). I plan my trips to Sonoma around Watmaugh, and you should too! read more

A hand-hewn, wooden stand on Watmaugh and Arnold Drive that has the sweetest, most succulent strawberries you'll ever taste. San Saetern farms the Watmaugh field. His entire family weeds, waters, tends, picks and boxes by hand the hundreds of cartons of red, ripe strawberries that will fly off the shelf as soon as the gates open. People tell their neighbors and friends and in mere hours, an endless chain of cars start to pull in. Customers line up all the way to the gate, braving the shirt-flapping winds of the Petaluma gap and stand patiently in the blazing sun to get their first luscious red treasure of the season. Passersby know something great must be going on and upon tasting the produce, becoming converts to the strawberries in a matter of moments. Though not certified organic, the Watmaugh patch uses no chemicals or pesticides and drip irrigation feeds the entire acreage. The plants are pulled out at the end of the season, the earth is tilled and a new crop is planted in the fall, then left to slumber until spring. The Saeterns' emigrated to the United States from Thailand, where San spent seven years in a refugee camp. His love of farming drew him back to the land and a job that most people would find grueling, but he says gives him and his family great pleasure. read more
