Blue House Farm Strawberry U-Pick and Farmstand

Our visit to Blue House Farm’s Strawberry U-Pick and Farmstand with the kids was a delightful experience. The fields were bursting with sweet, juicy strawberries, and the children loved picking their own. The farm’s scenic setting, fresh air, and friendly staff made it even more special. After picking, we enjoyed browsing the farmstand’s fresh produce and local goods. It’s the perfect outing for families — fun, educational, and delicious. We left with full baskets, happy kids, and wonderful memories. Highly recommended!

We had such a wonderful experience at the Blue Farm! The fruit picking was a highlight—my daughter had an amazing time and made memories we’ll cherish for years. The farm also offers a great selection of fresh vegetables, fruits, and delicious pastries inside. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even more special. It’s truly a must-visit spot for families looking for a fun and wholesome day out!

Great organic strawberry u-pick experience! They provide cardboard boxes at the entrance before you go into the strawberry fields. We arrived right around their 12pm opening and were easily able to find a row to ourselves. We immediately saw lots of ripe strawberries, and it was very easy to fill up our containers, which hold about 2.5lbs. It is a little pricey at $7/lb but when you get to take home a container full of delicious perfectly ripe strawberries, it's hard to complain.

We have been here twice so far and we love this place. Their farm stands sells some baked goods, meats, and vegetables as well. I would highly recommend the strawberries and cream when available, and lemon poppy seed muffin. The strawberries are nice and juicy and the farm is relaxing.

We picked strawberries last weekend with my parents. It was a fun experience and we left with several boxes. The strawberries here are organic!

Great u-pick place. We arrived at 4:30 pm, and it was still open. There are a lot of full red strawberries. Note the price is $7 per pound higher than usual purchase, but worth the taste.

Picking strawberries at the Blue House Farm is an out of the world experience! The cherries are so sweet and wonderful that you can't stop picking and eating them! The staff is wonderful and you have a produce stand where you can buy superfresh produce which tastes heavenly. A must visit farm to visit for fresh produce and in season berries.

Lovely farm for strawberry u-pick! Came by on Saturday afternoon. The flavors of ripe strawberries are very tasty. Friendly for kids. Inside of the barn, you also can purchase strawberries there. Highly recommended! Much closer than Brentwood farms for families from peninsula.

4.5 rounded up Such a cute place and great experience! The U-pick is very straight forward. You follow the signs, grab a box and get picking! We picked for about 45-ish minutes as a group of 6 and ended up with like 20 lbs lol everyone had so much fun finding and picking the perfectly red strawberries. We then go to the store to weigh and pay. What's nice is the store is like a one stop farmers market with the other fresh vegetables and plants including flowers, lettuce, spinach, leek, etc. They also partner with a bakery and have pastries and breads. The works are friendly and the produce is well priced and packaged. I'd do the drive (45-60 min) just to come buy from the market. Lastly the strawberries were DELICIOUS. Sweet and juicy. (Con: $7/lb for strawberries is steep especially with the grocery sales ... but it's great for an outdoor family experience.)

Great location and great service!! The field was HUGE I love how you can purchase other veggies that were grown by the farm! My bf and I went to go strawberry picking mid-June on a Saturday at around 2pm and there wasn't too big of a crowd which is great since Brentwood is usually very crowded. They also had restrooms which is a plus! It is a great spot for a cute date or family day! We brought the fresh strawberries we picked to the beaches nearby to eat. Only reason why I give it a 4 star instead of 5 is because the strawberries were not very sweet. It might be because they weren't ripened yet? Either way, it's a great u-pick! Go check it out if you ever plan a trip to Half Moon Bay :)

Awesome spot to pick strawberries! Came early September and there were still a lot of strawberries to pick. It's self service for picking strawberries which is what makes it fun! A very fun activity to just stroll around picking and seeing all the different shapes and sizes of strawberries

Fun and amazing experience! I have never been strawberry picking and this was my first time. Definitely check on availability on their website to see if it's the season to pick and definitely wear shoes you're okay with getting a little dirty. Overall amazing experience for any age group!

U-Pick strawberry picking is such a fun, interactive activity to do with friends and family! In searching for something a little different to do, we came to Blue House Farm (1 hr from SF) to try picking our own strawberries for the very first time. Upon arrival around 12:30 PM on a Saturday, we saw plenty of parking spots in their lot. We walked right into the berry picking area, which had a bunch of boxes at the front for customers to grab and put your strawberries in. In general, they charge $7/lb or strawberry, but with no farm entrance fee or anything! There were plenty of people picking strawberries on the day we went, but there were also plenty of strawberries to be picked. They suggest you only pick the ripe strawberries, which were all a really beautiful red color. At the end, our party of four picked over 7 lbs of strawberries to take home with us. Blue House Farm also sells pre-picked strawberries and other produce/flowers in their barn where you pay. We didn't pick up anything extra, but everything looked incredibly fresh. Also, noting that they only have porta potty bathrooms and sink at the farm. I highly recommend Blue House Farm for U-Pick strawberries. We tried our freshly picked berries at home and they were so sweet and juicy - so much better than anything store bought. Overall, we had a lot of fun at the farm and would definitely return.

My family and I recently drove out to Half Moon Bay for a little excursion. Right on the coast is Blue House Farm with its U-pick strawberry field. The organic strawberries they grew were incredibly sweet, juicy, and clean. It's a great spot for anyone looking to pick fresh strawberries with a very family oriented atmosphere. We picked enough strawberries to make homemade strawberry jam, strawberry lemonade, and pies which turned out nice and fresh. I highly recommend visiting this farm!

What a fun experience at Blue House Farm picking strawberries!! Lovely, peaceful farm about 20 min drive from San Gregorio State Beach. Nice way to spend the afternoon and you can stop by the beach later to enjoy them. Came by early October and there were still a good amount of strawberries. Everyone on the farm was friendly with directions and helping us check out as well. Can't wait to come back!

Blue House Farm had a great variety of vegetables today at the Clement Street Farmers Market. In addition to Greens, Carrots, Fennel etc , the also had some beautiful Romanesco Started in 2005 the farm covers over 70 acres of Fruit, Vegetables & Flowers.

Blue house farm is such a hidden gem. Located a bit south of Half Moon Bay, it's relatively easy to get to from the Peninsula and probably the closest u-pick strawberry field around. I've frequented their vegetable stands at various farmers markets around the Bay before, so I was super excited when I found out they have a u-pick strawberry. Strawberries are $7/lb (no entrance fee or minimum), but I guarantee it's some of the sweetest, freshest strawberries you'll ever have. Plus it's worth it just for the fun experience overall! Their farm is very well-maintained and there's plenty of fruit. Other strawberry farms I've been to in the area seem to be overrun with people, which makes it hard to find ripe fruit. Blue house farm does close their farm when they are out of ripe fruit to avoid that type of situation, so I'd definitely recommend checking their website or Instagram before heading over to make sure they are open. While you're there, make sure to grab some fresh veggies and flowers from the farm shed. Their flowers are so beautiful, though as a warning to allergy sufferers it is fresh cut flowers so pollen did drop all over the place - at least the particular bouquet I got had that issue. Their shishito peppers are so fresh and yummy compared to the ones in the grocery store. If you can't stop by the farm, be sure to look out for their stand at your nearby farmers market for super fresh vegetables!

Happy that this place had pumpkins! 4 stars because I've definitely seen a much wider variety of pumpkins at other locations. Good selection of orange pumpkins and butternut squash. Strawberry picking is still open, but from what I saw, there's very slim pickings. Pricing for pumpkins was alright; priced by size and the butternut squash was by weight. Spent $12 on 4 pumpkins.

What a lovely farm! My 3 sons picked $76 worth of the sweetest strawberries within 20 minutes of arrival. They were excited beyond words to see that many huge, bright red strawberries that they picked them with fantastic speed. Then, we carefully stored most of them, so we had scrumptious strawberries for weeks! Oh, they were so good.

Went there for strawberry picking on a sunny day. Beautiful, ripe and sweet strawberries, ended up picking more than we needed!

Blue House Farm is the type of place you want to visit every Saturday! This farm is among a few u-pick farms in the area. We were recommended this farm by a friend and it was a great experience! It was super family- and Covid-friendly You park and get a box to put your strawberries in. You walk through the fields and at your leisure gently pick strawberries off the vines. Fill as many boxes as you like. Then in the barn they weigh your berries for $6/pound. In the barn there are other fruits and veggies that are grown there, as well as local jams for you to take home. During the summer months they have Strawberries every Saturday. In the fall they also have a pumpkin u-pick. Would definitely return again!

Adorable small farm en route to the coast! We popped by to snag a pumpkin for a last minute jack o lantern, and walked away with some delicious house made pickles to boot! Nothing compares to the eye popping beauty of the farmstand fresh produce - bright peppers, tomatoes, eggplant, greens, squash, decorative corn... BHF also sports the broadest selection of heirloom dried beans that I've found outside of Rancho Gordo. A lovely spot to picnic (several picnic tables on the grounds) and enjoy your fresh produce on your way to/from the coast.

Super clean and easy to pick. Great for families. Loved the barn too with fresh produce and local breads to buy. Super fresh, organized, and easy to get to. Friendly staff too.

About a 45 min drive from Palo Alto sits this humble farm in the mountains of San Gregorio. We visited this farm on Saturday, the weekend of Halloween. There were still plenty of pumpkins to choose from in the field, but there were also pre-picked pumpkins at the barn ready for purchase. There were wheelbarrows available for easy pumpkin hauling. We really enjoyed our time going through the field searching for pumpkins. The pumpkins were priced by size: mini pumpkins were $3, medium were $10, and so on so forth. Inside the barn, there were other produce items for sale such as kale, turnips, beets, carrots, etc. All organic! I was surprised to find such quality beets (and their greens) for $3.50 a bunch-what a steal! All in all, a great experience. The produce is definitely top quality, and it's wonderful being able to support local! Highly recommend a visit if you get the chance!

We brought the grand daughters there to pick berries. A great time had by all. Plenty to do you the family. Moms can even get pointers on making jam. ( but I do recommend Pinterest website. They picked Blue berrie strawberries, blackberries & of course the famous Ollieberry. The girls had fun and also brought home fresh carrots still with the green tops. It's a great place to bring young kids. Perfect outing.

Came here while on a date with my partner to HMB. The drive is right by the beach, so extremely scenic. Strawberries were $6/lb and I would suggest starting on the other side of the patch where it's not as picked over. We came half an hour or so before closing and they had lots to be picked up still! Very fun and affordable activity for all age groups. Inside where they weigh for you to pay, there's also a plethora of vegetables and merchandise you can buy. The girl behind the register was extremely nice and helpful. Also told us that this is actually the smaller baby farm to their giant farm! Would come here weekly if it wasn't so far from me - maybe a monthly trip?

Awesome little family farm in a beautiful area. The location is simply unbeatable. The steady cool breeze blowing over the farm will make you go 'let me take you down 'cause I'm going to' as soon as you jump out of your car. We were there with our family to go U-picking on a Sunday afternoon, so there were very few ripe berries remaining on the plants. They are an organic farm, so you pay a little extra but the produce looked really fresh. There are portable toilets in the parking area as well.

We came with some friends two weekends ago and picked some delicious strawberries. Not every single one you pick will be sweet, BUT, every single one will feel like your blood sweat and tears went into it (even though ya really did one of the easiest parts haha), and therefore taste amazing. No really though, these strawberries are so fragrant, so even the ones that aren't super sweet taste sooo fresh and fruity. And it doesn't hurt to add a little whipped cream on em! After tasting a lot of sizes and colors, we've deduced that the darker red ones are the sweetest. As for size, usually larger is sweeter but some small ones were sweet too. We can't wait to come back next season to pick more! We picked about 1.5 pounds for us and another pound for a friend, and we ate through the 1.5 pounds way too fast. Parking is in the back when you arrive, and you pay at one the barns up front after picking your strawberries. They have boxes available for you to use to pick the fruit. They're also taking covid precautions by having parties go in rows that don't have other groups. It wasn't crowded when we went so that was really nice! Lots of strawberries to pick from!

First time picking strawberries and had the best experience. Came here on a Sunday afternoon during COVID. Parking was easy. Not too many people. Masks enforced. I like how they have you first wash your hands then go picking. $5 per pound. You can by credit or cash if cash, self -weigh and self-pay honor system. Gf had gone strawberry picking in the past in Brentwood and had a much better experience this time! (Probably cuz she didn't go with me last time!)

We came on a Saturday around 1pm. There were plenty of beautiful, big, ripe, juicy organi strawberries. My children were super excited to see these huge strawberries and picked 14lbs! Will definitely come back for more upick!

Great alternative to going all the way to Swanton berry farm. We detoured here with the original intention to go there and cut our drive by a bit. Prices are slightly lower here than Swanton and the strawberry plants are less abused (hence bigger berries that have actually had time to ripen). Additionally, it's not a zoo even during the primetime of the afternoon, and they have other types of organic veggies and fruits (i.e. kohlrabi, kale, giant potatoes, etc) that are in baskets in the farm stand that you pay at. As for berries, you weigh your own strawberries and pay by honor system, if there are questions, ask the attendant. Overall, great experience because we had our infant daughter with us and didn't want to be overrun with crowds and stressed families. Pros: All of the above Cons: The drive is a bit of a pain in the ass -- we ended up here by accident taking the wrong road. You have been warned -- it's winding and not for those of you who get carsick or are afraid of driving on narrow mountain roads.

Amazing little farm stand. Came to pick strawberries- did not disappoint. Fun for the whole family. Most incredible serine setting. Surrounded 360° by beauty.

Went back on July 18. This is my FAVORITE strawberry picking farm. There were many many rows of strawberries and most were ripe. I presume those who went a month or so later could not pick as many. Very fun event to do with s/o or family especially during covid. The bundle in this photo was around $7

Really wonderful quaint place. I drove over today to get away from San Jose a bit and pick some yummy strawberries. While my lot wasn't as big, it was satisfying and I will be using them for some nice treats. The protocols in place make for a safe time provided you follow them. There's a hand washing station and you must be masked to pick the fruit. Once you're done, head back inside the barn and you'll be greeted by LOTS of fresh vegetables. I even found lemon cucumbers! Everything looked great and you are supporting local agriculture, win win. There's also popsicles, drinks, and flowers. Something everyone! Oh and the bagel truck outside! I didn't try it but hope I can later on. Really neat place, I hope I'll return soon! ONLY OPEN SATURDAY + SUNDAY 12-6 PM!!

We enjoyed our family outing to pick our own strawberries. They were so flavorful and delicious. We also purchased organic vegetables from the farm and they were incredibly fresh. It was our first visit but many more to come

U Pick strawberries and pumpkins this fall. Okay, the strawberries were somewhat lacking, but arguably this isn't the season for them. Several different types of strawberries and pumpkins too, both for eating and carving. Pay by the honor system. Not too crowded either. Parking is easy and this place is also close to the beach.

There are three ways to experience Blue House Farm's stellar selection of organic and heirloom strawberries, vegetables, and fruits, all grown on the San Mateo coast by a small but dedicated crew of committed growers. You can sign up for a weekly CSA shipment, which you can pick up from a range of Bay Area locations. You can also find their products at weekend Farmers' Markets, such as the Saturday market at the College of San Mateo. Or, you can visit the self-serve farm stand and u-pick strawberry fields, which are located in the tiny town of San Gregorio, near the intersection of Highway 1 and CA-84 (La Honda Road). It's open in season starting each spring in May on weekends from 11am-6pm. It's a pretty scenic spot, definitely a working farm but with lots of attractive, rustic touches. The farm stand itself is a quaint, blue-colored structure that contains vegetables and fruits for sale, including scales, plastic bags, a cash box, and a notebook for entering your purchases. Most items cost $5 or less, and they include whatever is in season. Kohlrabi. Beets. Carrots. Lettuce. Kale. Chard. Strawberries. Spinach. Once summer starts, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, and other products enter the mix, and in fall there are pumpkins, squash, beans, and more. The farm stand makes a great stop as part of a day trip to the San Mateo coast between Half Moon Bay to the North and Pescadero to the South. The U-Pick fields here are smaller than at Swanton Berry Farm, and there aren't desserts, jams, coffee, preserves, or other items for sale. The setup is also smaller than at Pie Ranch, near Ano Neuvo State Park, but there are picnic tables, a restroom, and plenty of parking, so you can include a rest stop here before continuing your way. On a recent visit over the Mother Day's weekend, we picked up a few pounds of kohlrabi to include in a parsnip, fennel, and miso soup, a few heads of fresh lettuce, and a bunch of crunchy carrots. Usually, we shop the Blue House stall at the San Mateo farmers' market, and we were CSA members for several years when Blue House was in its former location in Pescadero. The farm stand allows people unfamiliar with Blue House Farm to try a few things, pick some berries, and spend $10 or less for their goodies. Especially in springtime, the surrounding hills are gorgeous, and the beaches along the coast beckon. Consider stopping here the next time you're passing through the area!

We weren't planning to do upick here - we assumed it would be too busy on a nice weekend day without reservations and with a 2 year old and 20 lb 8 month old in a carrier it's hard to distance very well. But, the precautions were great and it wasn't too busy so we came on a Sunday afternoon around 4:30 PM. Even at the end of the weekend, we only had to go a few rows in to get a bunch of beautiful strawberries! We got 5 pounds of strawberries in 20-30 minutes, it was really fun! Everyone was wearing masks and there's a handwashing station upon entry. We did see some people removing masks in the fields, but it's big enough that they were far enough away that we didn't feel unsafe. We also picked up some lettuce from the farmstand - Pescadero lettuce is amazing! 2 heads for $3 and so much better than anything else we've had. The broccoli we got was great as well. The tomatoes looked beautiful as well, but we only had room for so much! We will definitely be back in future years! So glad we are finding these awesome places not too far from home!

I was looking to go cherry picking but apparently the farms in the area are closed for the season. I heard about the strawberry farms and decided to visit this one. Spent an hour here this afternoon with some friends and picked many pounds. The berries are great and don't miss the popsicle with real berries on the way out. Found the price per pound a little pricey but worth it.

This is one of those bittersweet reviews, they deserve it but it also means the farm will get busier, which isn't great for me personally. But they deserve it. Was looking to go strawberry picking close to the Peninsula and stumbled this gem while searching online. We visited the morning of Mother's Day and had the best time with my young family. Their field was gorgeous (though not too big), well kept and not busy at all! The scenery is amazing. They also had a super cute blue house with baskets full of fresh organic produce. It's all on the honor system, you write down what you picked/bought and leave the money. Please be a decent, honest human being that you are and leave money for what you take and support their business. I hope to bring my kiddos for many more future visits! Thank you Blue Farm.

We stopped by here and lucked out on buying some really fresh ORGANIC veggies; leeks, carrots, and rainbow swiss chard. There was also a ton of other produce to choose from that looked equally delicious; kale, cauliflower, beets AND pickled beets, lettuce, potatoes, beans, even dry beans! We were pleasantly surprised finding this place and everything tasted amazing when we cooked them up for dinner. Definitely beats the grocery store! *They're also open for U-Pick strawberries during COVID. I'm not big on strawberries, otherwise I would of totally been down!

We did U pick strawberries here on Jul 4th, 2020. There were rows and rows of strawberries, with many ripe ones, certainly enough for everyone who came. There were about 15-20 parties and many more rows of strawberries! Very clean, they have a washing station outside to wash your hands before you go in. Yes, they're open during Covid and during Jul 4th! Very friendly staff, seems to be run by a group of young people. There's a bagel bus parked outside with benches and tables for seating that's super cute. We didn't get the bagels as we had just eaten but it seems like a nice place to picnic when it's not so sunny. I don't find the strawberries extremely large, you get some large ones and some medium sized ones, but they all tasted amazing, sweet and ripe. Even my son who doesn't like strawberries thinks they're good. Unlike one reviewer said, you don't pay by honor system, maybe they've changed. Now they weigh everything and it's $5/lb today.

found this little precious farm on our way to Pigeon Point lighthouse, we decided to do a detour for a short u-pick strawberries moment. This is an organics strawberries farm. Lot of juicy and sweet strawberries to harvest by yourself. We picked the fruit and tried it on the spot, after a few trial and errors, we became experts in strawberries picking. Watch for the leaves which 'stand-up" far from the fruit and the slightly dark red colored fruits, it's super juicy and sweet. Brought our fruits back to the small hut, other crops were also available for sale. Love the sweetpea flowers, $5/bunch. the prices are written on the chalkboard, you just need to weight and pay. Will come back next spring to buy fruits.

Blue House Farm did an INCREDIBLE job on our flowers for our wedding - I highly recommend them for your wedding flower dreams! We got married in April of 2022 in San Gregorio, CA, and Hayley was an incredible flower manager that communicated with us throughout the entire process. From colors and style, to changing numbers and needs, to day of delivery and execution - the flowers were amazing. I can't say enough about the beauty of the flowers - a perfect balance of elegance and natural greens and bounce, plus a breath taking decorative 6ft hoop for our ceremony. Thank you, Blue House!

came here during covid and had a great experience. clean procedures before going into the field (hand washing, masks required) and once in the field it's big enough to safely socially distance yourself 6+ feet away from other people. the fields were FILLED with fresh, ripe strawberries and i was able to easily get 4+ pounds. you pay per pound, $5/lb and the quality/experience is so worth it. the stand also sells other vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, etc. the fields are also close to half moon bay and multiple other beaches so could make a nice trip out there before or after picking strawberries.

HUGE Strawberries can be found at Blue House Farm. The ripe ones are double the size of strawberries I'm used to finding in a regular supermarket. We stopped by Blue House on our way to a party in the East Bay and I had hoped that they would have pre-picked strawberries available so we could grab and go. Instead, I learned that the farmstand was filled with everything they grow except strawberries so we grabbed a couple of brown boxes and headed out into the field to harvest our own. There were tons of beautiful sweet fruit. I was in such a hurry to fill my box that I neglected to pay enough attention at the mud I was walking into. Needless to say, my shoes were completely messed up by the time I was done. Well, at least I had some delicious strawberries to show for the effort. We headed back to the stand, weighed our strawberries, picked up a bouquet of flowers, put $20 into the honor cash box, and headed out.

Their U-pick is safe and clean. The strawberries are delicious, my toddler loves them. They also offer BEAUTIFUL, organic produce at the store. Staff are great; safety procedures are being followed by staff and visitors.

What a lovely pit stop this was on our way to the beach! We weren't going to stop off, but I'm so happy we did! We were greeted by a lovely lady who showed us to our parking spot! Simple yet fun picking strawberries, the field is beautiful! We were able to pick quite a few ready to eat strawberries. She mentioned it was a slow season, but we couldn't tell! We also purchased some fresh veggies and baked goods at the store where we weighed our picking's. $4 a lb, $2 for a bunch of beets and $2.50 for a handful of fresh chard. I may come here for my strawberries now just because it was such a lovely experience!

Picked some fresh strawberries! So much fun! Definitely worth stopping by to pick up some strawberries on your way home or to the beach. OMG! The strawberries are so sweet! The lady working at the stand was super friendly and helpful! Will def be back to BHF!!

First time picking and left with an abundance!! Price is reasonable at $4/lb. Also didn't feel rushed even when we got there at 2pm! Really laid back time and would totally do it again!

Love this little farm! Their fruits and vegetables are super fresh and you can definitely taste the organic quality. I still can't get over their " honor system " in letting you weight your own purchase and pay for them on your own. No cashier and the cash box is left in plain view without any attendants. Wow, talking about trusting your customers! Note: they open at 11AM, so if you arrive before then, no one will be there to assist you. Just wait in your car and they will be out at 11AM.

I joined Blue House Farm's CSA this season and have been loving it! The produce is super fresh and delicious. I also love that they make sure to have a variety of vegetables and fruits in each box, and do their best not to overload you on any specific type of item. I also love the flexibility of the CSA. You can pay up front for four weeks, and then just pay $23 for each subsequent box. It's great to not have to commit to a full season if you're not so sure a CSA is right for you (although, I am now fully convinced). I chose to get my box every other week, and it's easy to skip a delivery or push it back a week if you'll be away and can't pick it up. They have lots of pick-up locations all along the Peninsula, and make it easy to switch your pick-up spot permanently or on a one-time basis. I've yet to visit their farm, but have loved the updates and seeing the pictures of where my food is grown locally in Pescadero and San Gregorio. If you want to support organic & local agriculture, Blue House Farm is the CSA to choose!

We came here on July 3rd and had a wonderful time with our toddler. My husband wanted to take him fruit picking, and strawberries are perfect for the little ones because they're close to the ground. We brought a bucket from home in case there weren't good containers provided, and we're glad we did - the cardboard boxes they had were a little flimsy and would have been difficult for a toddler to hold on to. It's nice that they had the cardboard boxes available though, because I think some farms have you bring your own container. There were rows and rows of strawberries, and we went a little further in where there were nicer ripe ones available. Our 2yo loved going to find the red strawberries and picking them to put into his bucket, like an Easter egg hunt...except you don't have to hunt too hard haha. Although they weren't particularly big, these were some of the most beautiful strawberries I've ever seen. The color was a gorgeous red, and they also tasted so good - not just sweet, but the fragrant strawberry flavor itself was delicious. Our toddler loved them and kept asking for more. The price was a little steep at $6/lb, but we figured we were paying for an experience as well. We went inside to pay at the register, and there was other produce for sale inside - all of which looked beautiful. We'll be back!

Just picked up my first box and bouquet from my local pick up place. The flowers and mint smell heavenly! Included in the box are carrots, broccoli, lettuce, scallions, collards and blackberries. I'm so grateful to be able to live in the city and connect back to the Earth through this nearby CSA. And feeding myself and my family foods that were harvested just days prior helps me be the superstar I wish to be. Thank you, Blue House Farm! It was a delight to visit the San Gregorio farm on open house day. Looking forward to more visits and getting to know you.

One of the things that stands out when visiting the San Mateo coast is how much land still is dedicated to farming and ranching, or preserved in parks and open spaces. Between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, you'll find no big towns or massive developments, but there are plenty of backroads and bucolic destinations, like Pescadero, where you can pet baby goats, get a great carnitas taco, walk amidst enormous redwoods, or enjoy ocean breezes while exploring tide pools and empty stretches of sand. The Blue House farm stand, on La Honda Road near its intersection with Highway 1 and San Gregorio Beach State Park, is a great spot on weekends for picking fresh strawberries with your children or for choosing some organic produce to add to your kitchen for the coming week of meals. This is a really nice option if you missed your regular weekend farmers' market or were too busy to pick up lettuce, kale, or some other item before a busy weekend. You can get as little or as much as you want and pay by cash or check. It's very low key, and no frills. But quaint. And very photogenic! You'll want to post pics on your social media feed to show how healthy you're eating and how much fun it can be to "hunt" for great produce rather than get it at your local grocery store. Along with some coastal hiking and stops for tacos, artichoke soup, wine, coffee, or beer, a farm stand stop here can definitely make your weekend extra special! Bookmark it for your next visit!!

What an awesome little find. A bit cold, so bring a jacket, but the experience was SO worth it. Great family outing and fresh as you can get strawberries. You should definitely go!

Blue House Farm has consistently high quality produce, and their staff has been there for us throughout this pandemic, showing up to farmers markets and pivoting with health safety standards.
