The Farm in Salinas

“Saw a Facebook post for u-pick flowers. Came on a Saturday around 11. It is open for U-pick flowers 10-1. They have a paved driveway and a small parking lot. Not sure where overflow parking would be. We had no issues. Walk through the cute shop that has veggies and other items. They have freshly baked pies too! We got just a slice of apple to try out. Whole pies are quite expensive so we wanted to taste first. You pay inside the store for the u-pick flowers. We did the $20 for a handful bunch. You walk outside and head over to a cart they have setup. You can bring your own shears and bucket if you want. Then pick away! My daughter was walking around for an hour making her bunch. She will dry or press to preserve them.”

“I love stopping by The Farm in Salinas. Especially on a pretty day! On Tuesdays they have fresh pot pies and Fridays fresh pies. They also have fresh pies that have been frozen! They sell beautiful veggies, flowers and fruits. They have the CUTEST Giftshop inside The Farm's Market where you can find some local vendors products and so many precious items for that special gift! They sell Lulu's chocolates too!! They have a little goat, hen and duck observation area. And do reading time for kids on certain days. Sometimes depending on the season they have pick your own flower event. If you haven't checked them out you should!”

“Nice selection of organic fruit and veggies, expect high quality and prices. Decided to splurge on an apple 🍏 pie as well as a chicken 🐔 and bacon 🥓 pot pie, which are a few lbs each. Having lighter appetites, we split 1/4 of the apple pie for lunch, and it was plenty, close to 3" high in the center, perfectly cooked with thin apple slices and sweetened just right, and an excellent crust. Worth a try. Also, nice rows of fresh flowers 💐 available for sale, great variety. There is a Gift shop too. Clerks could be friendlier.”

“The Farm is one of our favorite places to visit in Salinas. They have amazing fruits and veggies, it is such a fun place for kiddos to visit, and we always enjoy interacting with the staff. When you go, make sure you try the strawberries and buy a pie. Both are unbeatable. In the fall the pumpkin patch and the pies are a staple.”

“I loved the flowers out front and I thought the store was great but some of the items are prohibitively expensive... for example, a jar of local jam cost $12. As a comparison just down the road at Star Market, a jar of Gizditch jam costs $7...still crazy for a jar of jam but I do occasionally get one. Great place though and I recommend to visit.”
