The good: This place is just all-so American and I love it…read more My aunt comes here for the berry pie and buys several of them to bring to me in SoCal. She's a frequent customer and she seldom eats pies. She sometimes freezes them. It's packed with so many berries and has a pure berry taste. It's sweet but still maintains the tartness/acidity of the berries so it helps your ability to eat more of it. My husband finished almost an entire pie in one day. The bad: My aunt said the apple pie is too sweet and therefore prefers the more tart/sour berry pie. I wish I tried the pie with ice cream because that would have been a nice compliment. The interesting: They're family owned and have been around for decades. You can pick fruits here too.

Stopped by 10/4/2026 and it was the last day of the season for apple picking. There weren't too…read moremany apples left but we still managed to pick a handful. Very affordable prices. We also got slices of apple pie a la mode at the pie shop. Unfortunately they were out of the Dutch apple pie but the regular apple pie was still quite delicious. It was warm, fresh, and had a flaky crust. The vanilla ice cream was icy though and felt like it had freezer burn. The line at the pie shop moved quite slowly and got pretty long. Great vibes here and you get a pretty inclusive experience with fruit picking, a souvenir shop, the pie shop / deli, and a small pumpkin patch.

We went on a Friday afternoon, and because the other party had rescheduled, we ended up having a completely private tour, such a nice surprise! There were more than 10 alpacas, so we were totally outnumbered. At one point it honestly felt like the alpacas were studying *us* like we were the animals! The kids had a blast feeding them pine needles. The alpacas were incredibly friendly and curious, walking right up to us and looking at us with those huge, beautiful eyes. Renee was warm and welcoming throughout the visit and even offered to take family photos for us without us having to ask. The ground was covered with small rocks rather than sand, which was a nice bonus -- our shoes stayed surprisingly clean throughout the entire visit. I'm so glad I found an alpaca experience that's an easy trip from the Bay Area. Such a memorable outing for the kids, and we'll definitely be back!

The strawberries at Crystal Bay Farm were the sweetest and yummiest strawberries ever! My friends and I bought 4lbs worth, but we are definitely coming back for more! $2 entrance fee + $5 per lb Open: Sundays & Wednesdays Instagram: crystalbayfarm We walked to the worker's stand by the entrance to get our boxes, and we paid our fees after the picking (Cash & card is OK). Everyone was tasting their strawberries when I went, so I'm sure it is ok :) Just bring water to risk & don't taste too much. As long as it's red, it should be sweet! (I promise)

You don't find apples any fresher and the pies and other deserts that you can make with them are impossible to beat.

You come here to binge out on huaraches, sopes, and down horchata like you have no other task in life. You get stuffed here and post up in the old school Ville, only leaving after feeling immensely satisfied, and less impoverished than if you went to a sit-down place pretty much anywhere. I can't help but feeling a couple of these little ladies slanging tamales and empanadas have to be some of the best cooks in Santa Cruz county.
