"Many of us probably have a plastic container of Earthbound Farms lettuce resting on a shelf in our fridge. But in Carmel, you can see the farm’s humble beginnings on the farm’s original two-and-a-half acres of land. The “farmstand” — really more of a small, high-end supermarket — is a perfect spot to grab a beer or glass of wine while the kids roam free, climbing gnarled trees and running through the vegetable gardens. Be sure to pick a bouquet of freshly cut flowers and grab a sandwich and salads from the deli. There’s even some Strauss soft serve for dessert. Set up a picnic on the sprawling grounds and bask in the beauty of Mother Nature." - Marisa Churchill
