The Original Manassero Farms Market - Irvine

It was a lot of fun and great day to pick strawberries. The fee cover the parking and 30 minutes session which fly by. They have some seating area and little play ground for kids. Great with family activities. They have a store front and pick up herbs as well. Will be back for the blackberries next.

Manassero Farms is so beautiful! We had a lovely experience going into the field and picking the beautiful strawberries. My son loved the play area as well. The store was fun to look around, and the strawberries were delicious. Highly recommend!

I went with my siblings and it was such a fun time. The berries were so fresh and sweet and the store on the way out was so awesome. We bought so many things and they were all delicious! Would definitely come back

We love it here! They’re always very kind. Nice and fun activity to do with the kids

We had a great experience picking strawberries. No fuss, easy parking, straight to the strawberry field. The strawberries are small, but delicious. However, one thing they should consider is to explain to the kids HOW to pick the strawberries. In the future, you should ask every customer (especially if they are with children), if it’s their first time picking strawberries. I didn’t realize this until I got home with two cases of mushy strawberries.

There aren’t enough words to describe the magic that is The Original Manassero Farms. Everyone knows the strawberries are worth the weekly visit, but just walking through the herb garden breathes life into me on an otherwise dreary Wednesday afternoon. The kids love the “u-pick” strawberries and the kids playground always keeps us occupied for an hour or two. Bring a couple quarters for the merry go round! Come for the strawberries but stay for the charm. Wonderful low key family experience.

We came for the pick your own strawberries. You have to reserve online and it’s 12.50 for a empty container. We felt that the online system was silly and the price is high. We wish we had known that we didn’t need to buy 3 boxes for 3 people. We could have just shared a box between us. My daughter was disappointed that the quarter rides didn’t work. The kids area is cute but definitely could use some more things to do. I thought it was a cute little place and I appreciate that we got to pick fresh berries.

I’ve visited Manassero Strawberry Farms twice this year and unfortunately both times were disappointing. On our first visit with kids, gates began closing before the posted closing time while we were still gathering our things, which made us feel rushed out. On our second visit, I came with a friend to enjoy the scenery and take some casual photos — nothing was for a paid job or commercial purpose. In fact, when we asked the host of the private event, they said it was fine. However, the event planner/owner still approached us in a way that felt unnecessarily confrontational. It’s a shame, because the space is cute, but based on both visits, we left feeling unwelcome and don’t plan to return. I’ve also noticed other reviewers mention similar experiences with staff being rude, and the business’s replies often come across as defensive rather than understanding.

Saw this farm on TikTok advertising u-pick ollieberries.... SOLD! There's not much to do but pick berries and produce shop but it made for a fun little experience. U-pick is $12.50 per person and advance reservation required. With that fee you get a little container that you can fill. They only ask that the lid can be closed. So no topping off lol. FYI to pick ollieberries just twist, don't be like me and pull by the stems. They have little prickly fur that sticks in your skin. Recommend to go early to get the biggest and pretty fruits. I'm sure it's going to get more packed since it's on TikTok now. Also, strawberries here are big/red/soft and sweet! Ever since Japan, the states strawberries haven't been hitting till I ate the ones here.

Want to go and pick your own strawberries and be rushed while doing it by an arrogant, moronic, and rude guy that's more of the prick than the thorns on the blackberry bushes? Then by all means, drag your behind down busy Jeffrey blvd in Irvine to pick some under the majestic high powered electrical lines and car exhaust. Your family will forever be grateful for this experience. But wait, don't forget you actually have to make online reservations for this because it's such a highly sought after activity. Place is a joke. Way over priced, strawberries that are blander than a plate of Midwestern Mexican food. Meanwhile, some random clown is going to yell at you for picking strawberries in the wrong field, when nothing is marked off limits. You also only have thirty minutes max and must make sure your tiny container can be closed when you're done. Gotcha suckas! Just because you're so rude, I ate 3lbs while I was there and I don't even like strawberries. Don't forget the fake farmer market that sells fruits and veggies they bought from the downtown LA wholesalers. Never thought I could get catfished by a damn farm. Goto Tanaka Farms. Way better and great people

I thought this place was super cute. The strawberry picking is self-guided at an affordable price ($12.50 for one pound of self picked strawberries). The strawberries are very sweet and fresh! The staff are a little shy, but super helpful when asked and nice! I'm not sure why other people have stated that the staff are not welcoming - they were all super approachable. I also wouldn't expect to be catered to at a farm... If you're going here for their other produce, bread, jams, etc. I will say it is a little pricey, but you will be paying for well-packaged, often imported/local artisanal items. Overall, I thought this was a great experience at a reasonable price. I would definitely go back if I was ever in the area. You should check them out!

This charming little farmstead, located just outside Irvine Valley College, offers a quaint and peaceful escape from the city. It features a small, adorable store stocked with fresh, locally-sourced produce, neatly displayed outside for convenience. The atmosphere was quiet and calm during my visit, with very few people around, making it an ideal spot for a relaxed outing. The store itself is small and cozy, perfect for picking up a few fresh essentials or unique farm items. There's also a tiny play area designed for kids, which adds a nice family-friendly touch, though it's quite limited in size. Despite its modest scale, the workers here are incredibly welcoming and friendly, always ready to assist with a smile. Overall, it's a simple and sweet spot that exudes warmth and charm, ideal for families with young children or anyone looking for a laid-back farm experience. It has a small parking outside.

Located next to the Irvine Valley College, this farm is a great place to find organic produce such as a multi-colored assortment of carrots, heads of lettuce, and various other greens including kale, as well as non-organic produce like herbs to pick on your own from garden boxes outside with scissors they provide and lots of other typical kinds of fruits and vegetables. For strawberries, they have both organic and non-organic varieties. Overall, a reliable place to buy our select organic produce with super friendly and helpful staff. There are lots of non-produce items for sale as well from European coffees and teas to creamed honey and honeycombs to freshly baked loaves of bread and even books and fun candy. The parking is generally ample with space for maybe a dozen or so cars. Manassero Farms is actually our favorite farm in Irvine!

Came here on a Thursday early afternoon , it wasn't busy at all. It was great!! super friendly staff and just such a beautiful farm. We bought our tickets online and got our strawberry container once we checked in at the front. We went to the play area first my son had a great time. He really loved the little rollercoaster. We then walked over to the fields and went and picked our own strawberries. My kids are young 1 &2 and they both had fun! Highly recommend this farm I can't wait to come back! I ended it buying some breads, whipped honey, and extra strawberries.

This local gem offers a farmer market-style shopping experience. We came to restock some of our favorite produce items, which is definitely worth the drive. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality of the produce and how long they last compared to mass-produced store-bought items is worth the cost.

I loved taking my 1 year old here! There's a great market that really is like a farmers market with fresh produce and artisan products. Additionally they have a wonderful play area that my 1 year old loved, in addition to running around the farm and sitting on the tractor. Their seasonal events are great too. We especially enjoyed their fall event with pumpkins. Towards the end of the season they offer the pumpkins at a discount. Great activity to the little ones! Highly recommend.

Strawberry picking with the Littles is so fun. $12.50 per person (2 and under are free) you get 30 min to pick a lb of fresh strawberries. The online reservation made it easy! There's even a little play area for small kids that kept our Littles busy. The grounds are well kept and the bathroom is 10/10. It's actually super cute and clean. I wish Tanaka had better bathrooms. There's a market there with fresh produce and a cut your own herb garden. Plus lots of photo ops! They even have a room you can reserve for parties. Only downside I'd say is the customer service. The ladies that are there every time aren't very friendly and don't smile. You could tell they really don't want to be there. We actually were 10 min late for our strawberry picking time (our fault). Lady said we had 20 min. I asked if there was a group after us. She said yes. Then, I asked if we could just get rolled over to the next group at noon. She checked the schedule and said actually there is no one booked in the next group so the lady supervising would go to lunch. Little disappointing I think and could've been handled better but oh well. While we were out there, Littles had to potty ofcourse so that took some time to walk back to do that. Lady went to remind us we only had 10 min left so that she could go to lunch. But then we noticed some other ladies had signed up for berry picking at the noon spot so the lady had to stay anyways. I've been here a few times and everytime the ladies that work here are short or uninterested in helping with questions. Overall, nice to spend a few hours with small kids to pick berries and play, as long as you don't have to interact with the employees there.

Manassero Farms is a great place to get your seasonal farm treats including their famous organic strawberries. Then, there's the seasonal selection of herbs, vegetables, and fruits. The storefront stocks an interesting selection of pantry items including premium jams, sauces, condiments and dry pasta. There's also charming kitchen and home accents displayed throughout the farm and available for purchase,. The farm also hosts seasonal farm activities such as berry picking (prior reservation preferred) and a children's play area with delightful farm-inspired photo backdrops. It's also a neat place to book private events, complete with a dining room and facilities suitable for banquet service. Most of all, the store team members are helpful, cheerful and gracious each visit.

Went strawberry picking and thoroughly enjoyed it! Purchased our tickets online and ordered 4 clam shell containers...2 for me and 2 for my daughter. They give you a time limit of 30 minutes but it's plenty of time to fill our containers. They allow you to eat a few after you have filled your containers. I did try one, cleaned it as best as I could and it was super sweet. When I got home, washed the one container and almost ate it all in one sitting. They were super fresh and sweet. It's pricey but totally worth it. Nothing beats farm to table! There's also a cute little store where you can buy some fruit and veggies and other items and gifts. And there is a little play area for the kids (toddler ages). Tips: 1. Wear comfortable and shoes you don't mind getting mud on. I saw some kids with rain boots...smart! 2. You will be bending down as the strawberries are grown in the ground. 3. If you live far, bring a cooler with some ice to transport the strawberries.

What a wonderful find! I passed by many times and now I discovered the best place to buy my food I could have ever imagined. Nice and clean full of charm.

My recent visit was uplifting and inviting! I live a healthy diet/lifestyle and was amazed at the fresh selections of Vegetables, Fruit plus novelty assortments of goods. Prices are fair and the interior decor is fire! The staff were friendly with great service and compassion. I will definitely return for more deliciousness!

4/23/23 I cannot believe it took me this long to bring my family. We came with a reservation to strawberry pick on a Sunday afternoon. Easy booking online but I was not aware the brea location doesn't have fields. No address on the reservation receipt. We rushed over the Irvine to make our reservation time. We checked in, they gave us a hand stamp and we headed to the fields. There wasn't any signs that said go meet the attendant so my super eager kids and myself rushed to the first strawberries we saw. I know they said there may be mud so I didn't think anything of it. 2 mins in, a worker lady flagged us down and said it wasn't the right place to pick. She made a comment to me and said, "next time, ask." Damn, I told her there were no signs and I felt it was self explanatory because it was straight berry fields. We went to the right place and she cut the time to count the incorrect place we started. Fine, whatever. We got our berry baskets closed and headed out. The girls enjoyed additional play time in the play yard and I enjoyed sight seeing. The breeze was amazing. Just loved the afternoon minus the first hiccup with the rude field lady. There's ALWAYS a nicer way to say things in the service industry.

One star for easy parking. Visited the flagship market. No one greeted when I entered. I just thought maybe they were busy. However, there was only one other customer. Produce was warm and looked wilted. Romaine and red leaf lettuce were so sad looking. The tomatoes were soft. Nothing looked fresh at all. I just bought some bread and cucumbers. I really wanted to support this local farm, but like I mentioned, the produce did not look fresh at all. I couldn't find produce that was organic either even though they have signs outside saying they sell organic produce. When I checked out, I said hello to the employee and asked how they were. Didn't get any response or eye contact. I understand if people don't like small talk. It just felt like simple hospitality didn't exist here. The market was set up like a country store. It was cute, but being a farm and not having decent produce is weird. I won't be returning. All I felt since leaving this farm was regret. Their instagram makes it out to be a bougie place, but it's all a facade. I value integrity and didn't find it here. I recommend going to Tanaka Farms. That's where I usually shop. I would have really loved supporting both farms, but this place isn't it.

I'm a lover of farmers markets. I mean LOVER. OF. FARMERS. MARKETS. It's a happy place for me. This isn't a farmers market per se (as in a community gathering of various vendors), but suffice it to say that I should be a target audience here. That said, I wasn't impressed with this market. The service was super blasé. The product was inferior; dried out, limp produce. The cashiers didn't know the product, misidentified a significant number of things, and rung everything up all wrong. This visit did not inspire me to return ever again. That's a big bummer considering that I've been such a long time and devoted fan of their strawberry stands about town. I begrudgingly bought some things. Quite a bit of things actually. But dissatisfied with the entirety of the experience, I immediately drove over to the far superior farm/market nearby to get my quality farm fix. When I got there, I regretted buying most of the droopy things I did at Manassero. Moreover, I was met with all smiles and friendly vibes at the happier market. I wanted to like it. I was hoping to like it. I really, truly did. (Reflects experience from summer of '22).

Sales was horrible - metal looking pumpkin decor said set of 3. We asked how much and they couldn't tell us. Then we saw one said 65. We asked how if that's the cost for the set. They tried to say each were 65... umm it says it's a set.. they wanted over 100 so didn't buy. You might want to get your pricing straight or ppl won't be buying. * reminder to PARENTS - took my son and mom for a Halloween event. Multiple parents cut us in line.. but one in particular intentionally did and even when we said we've been waiting for a while, she said well you could go after us. It was nearly impossible to get this little ride again, so we ended up just going on the swings in the merry-go-round. Let's be respectful of other people's kids and taking turns. Definitely not the first place that I've experienced or seen this but that I would added in here. Maybe some of you will see this on Yelp and keep that in mind. I wouldn't buy anything here vegetable wise. The pumpkins were soft like one vegetable start going old. The pumpkins were not doing too well outside. The face painter was great.

First of all, the place is tiny, and everything is super expensive. But to be honest, those problems would not keep me away IF their service was not so ridiculously below standard. I have been there twice and both times, no one did so much as say hello, never mind welcome, or do you need help. The first time I gave them the benefit of the doubt , and bought some stuff, including bread and some veggies. Frankly , nothing spectacular. I got the fruit and nuts bread and I can tell you that Costco 's same bread is decidedly better than theirs. It took my a year but today I was in the neighborhood and saw the place and decided to give it another try. Big mistake! This time they continued to be rude and also dismissive; the women behind the register could not figure out how to ring up the customer before me and I stood there waiting patiently for my turn. She didn't even look at me or apologize for keeping me waiting for 10 minutes. So I put my groceries where I found them and walked out. Needless to say there was no reaction from her! I don't think she likes people who are not White! Update in response to the owner of the store: 1. English is my second language also and that's no excuse for being impolite. 2. You blame me for bringing "race" up. Why don't you train your workers - special needs and neurotypical alike - in customer service and basic coutesy instead? 3. And finally, since as the owner, you set the tone for your business culture, reading your response and seeing your total lack of accountability, I see that my disappointing experiences today and last year at your store make perfect sense. Happy Holidays to you too.

Berry picking here closes an hour before the posted hours. If you pick the last slot of the day and are even a little late, you have like 7 minutes to pick. Parking was crappy and we had to wait for a spot, making us even more late. Blonde girl at the front had an attitude. Overall, would not return. Edited to include date we visited: Saturday June 8 at 3:30.

I saw a random video on Instagram, advertising Manassero Farms Market, and it looked so darn cute! I was instantly in love with the little play area for kids, and I just knew that I had to go check it out. Last week, I was finally able to stop by. I thought it was going to be a short visit, but my kids were OBSESSED with everything in the play area. They kept wanting to ride the rides (two were broken, unfortunately), play with the farm stand and the fake food, use the slide, and push around all the tractors. We were there for almost two hours and no one wanted to leave even though it was closing. The Christmas market was beautiful, and all the produce looked wonderful. I didn't end up browsing the markets, but I'll have to come back and do so. They were also giving away pumpkins, so my lil' pumpkins each took two mini ones home with us, which was a delightful surprise.

We tried going to Tanaka and it was fully booked. Luckily, we did a bit more research and found this gem. We purchased tickets online. Once you park in the establishment, you check in and they gave you your containers for strawberries. I love that it was relatively small so it felt homie and not too crowded. The strawberries we got were delicious. My kids enjoyed picking and eating them but also had fun at the small play area that they have set up as well.

It's amazing to see a small family business bringing healthy, locally grown food from field to table in Irvine, Brea, and Tustin. The Manasseros are hardworking, lovely people, and I've had nothing but positive experiences each time I've visited. The berries--whether strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries--are always delicious. Their squash varieties, leafy greens, onions, and pumpkins have all been fresh and flavorful when I've cooked with them. They also offer specialty canned goods and charming home decor. Overall, it's a fantastic place to bring your kiddos and enjoy a wholesome shopping experience.

Always delicious and great service! They allow me to bring my 1 year old dog and they're always friendly! I will keep coming here!

What's unique about this farmers market is that you can cut any herbs you want that's growing in the garden and they'll way it by pound at the front. I also really like that they have fresh bread and a variety of fruits that's in season. And what makes this market really stand out as they make the effort to donate some of their produce to local communities for example, the ones that are slightly wilted will go to kids underneath the poverty line so they'll have something to eat. Bring your money here instead of Whole Foods...

Absolutely loved coming to this place to grab our favorite chicken pot pie, pumpkins & their peach salsa. This weekend, we had an unpleasant experience. I brought my good camera to get a good quality photo of me, my husband and two pups. We were met with, "excuse me, what are you filming?" I explained Its just our family photo and then I wanted better quality than my phone so I could blow up the photo for us. The comments under her breath afterwards were in a negative tone, " awfully fancy for a family photo." We felt so unwelcome at that point. It made us so uncomfortable being there for the maybe 20 minutes. Families are constantly taking photos of their kids here with their phones, and I understand that I brought a nice camera, but I wanted the quality to be better. I even bought items from the store afterwards in good faith as appreciation for the place, but this was the last time unfortunately we will be going. The immediate microscope of questions doesn't give us the comfortability to return. Also, the photo wasn't good because of the harsh lighting so we ended up taking it at a park nearby instead. - I was NOT filming my husband walking around. I was not filming period. I was checking lighting so we didn't look blown out. I'm not a professional photographer at all, but have a nice camera since a full time actress. I do not just film anywhere and would never film without permission as I am part of SAG & know the rules.

Fresh! Fun! Organic Produce. If I lived closer- this would be my Saturday and Sunday breakfast or brunch spot. The corn was as amazing as any I have had in Southern Illinois. The tomatoes perfect- not too acidic. There was a private birthday party going on when I was there with my mom. It was set up so cute for a 1 year old and the parents. There was corn hole- trees w twinkle lights- a play house! The blackberry vines were budding. This would be a cute spot for a quaint wedding. The store has all kinds of tea, veggies, fruits, and decorations. 5 STARS

Chain grocery stores are a foodie's hell - produce that looks delicious and tastes like water is what you get at those places. Manassero is the full opposite and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Been getting local produce here for 30 years. My parents would bring me here as a kid, I came here regularly as a student of IVC, and now I bring my own children here. My kids always ask to go to "the market with the pretend restaurant" because there is a large play area where they keep themselves busy as I do our weekly shopping, which is fun for them and gives me a peaceful grocery shopping experience. I ask the staff to show me which items are grown at their farm or where the various items come from and they are always kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating. It's also nice to be able to pick my own herbs direct from their garden in bulk, I just ask to borrow their scissors at the register and then help myself. I am always shocked by how affordable it is when you buy the items that are Manassero Farm grown. I feel very lucky to have access to a cozy country farm like this in the middle of the suburbs and I appreciate their presence so my family can have access to locally grown full-flavor produce (unlike the tasteless watery stuff at the chain grocery stores). Highly recommend Manassero Farms.

The Original Manassero Farms Market (established since 1978) is a really cute market located just outside of Irvine Valley College and they are celebrating 100 years of family farming (since 1922). There is a designated parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue. Now on pros and cons: [Pros] * They have a small pick-your-own-herb garden; U-pick strawberry was not available in July 2022. * There is a small kids playground. * Clean restroom * Cute decors * Best known for their organic strawberries * There's a giant dining room behind the market and you can rent it for various special events. [Cons] * Most of items have no price tags. * Limited selection of fruits/vegetables * Read some negative reviews on bad customer service, but I didn't buy anything so it was a non-issue. It is a nice market to check out and to take some nice family pictures. P.S. - They also have three other stands: Irvine (5840 Walnut, Irvine CA 92604), Tustin (18921 East 17th St, Tustin, CA 92705), and Brea (Corner of Rose Dr & Blake Rd, Brea, CA 92823). Really nice place to stop by but don't expect any value buys

Came in to visit this place on my day off because I saw it on Instagram. I was so excited to look around. The little country store was cute. However, the customer service was terrible. When my family and I walked in nobody greeted us. There was someone there but I didn't know if they were a customer or worker. Then we made our way outside and I came across a table with some pamphlets on them. As I was reading one from afar, a lady yelled at me to stay back and move away to the other side of the open market area because they were having a private event. There was no sign saying the area was closed off or anything to let us know to stay away. All the people were inside some shed like room, and I hadn't even considered going in. She scared me and embarrassed me. The rest of the open market area didn't have much to offer, besides a variety of pumpkins. I don't understand how the person who manages this place chooses to make unhappy patrons feel worse about their experience (responding to negative yelp reviews) rather than apologizing for the mishap and taking the time to correct her sloppy workers.

I absolutely love The Original Manassero Farms! The produce is always so great and a lot of variety. I love that they also support small businesses...I always buy Three Pug Bakery chicken pot pies! They are seriously the best. Love small business helping small businesses. The employees at Manassero are always so friendly and kind too! We haven't gone to any of their events but they look really cool! Follow their Instagram to see the upcoming events.

Cute place! Small little farmers market with some fresh produce, cute knick knacks, and home decor. Love that you can pick your own strawberries and herbs as well.

A really cute little farm and market near Irvine Valley College. I had a craving for Strawberries and was looking for a locally grown Strawberries farm to try. There is also a mini herb garden and catered events can also be held at this location if you want to try to book it. Was reading the reviews and saw how so many people came here for the Strawberries that I had to try. We bought a 3 pack strawberry tray that cost $18. It is definitely pretty expensive compared to going to a local grocery store or your local Costco. However, these were really good and flavorful and sweet strawberries. I was really surprised at the size of these strawberries were. Definitely worth for the quality and if you want to splurge a bit for Strawberries.

Super cute farmstead outside Irvine Valley College and worth stopping at for organic strawberries!! It smells so good here!! We bought a LB of organic strawberries and a Yes bar with black sesame seeds. I would definitely come here every day if I lived closer!! The girls at the register are very nice and welcoming.

The organic strawberries that I picked up tasted like candy. By far the best strawberries I've eaten so far as of June 16, 2021. It's like the insides of these strawberries are sugar coated (aside from the glucose the strawberries produce from photosynthesis). I randomly drove here because I was craving strawberries. On a sidenote, the only thing alarming about this place was how it advertises that they sanitize their hands between customers but I did not see that hand sanitization when they were handling my open blackberries after handling another customer's order.

We went ollalieberry picking in mid June and it was the best. Time is so that you book the first session of the day to get the best berries before being picked over. With that being said, there was plenty to go around so later times of day could make a fun date. Easy to find, and workers were easily accessible. Price was extremely fair and made w fun outing. Store is so cute and I would take come everything if I could. Family friendly!

So cuuuuute, I love it. Came for strawberry picking and loved that there was a whole area within the farm for this market! Everything was so cute and fresh. The quality of items here are clearly high. We devoured our fresh loaf of jalapeno cheese sourdough bread that we got within days of purchase. Strawberries were so sweet and tasty. Everyone there was nice and friendly. We'd come back to buy more things. Definitely wanna try their jams and things I don't need!

Upon entrance, we were greeted by a snippy woman who became visibly agitated when we told her we did not have a reservation. She wanted us each to pay $13 to go berry picking when we only wanted one basket of berries. They also don't accept cash and have a sign that reads "no cash on premises". We walked around to check the place out and I tried one blackberry on a fence (not even in the picking field) and got screamed at by the daycare worker. We just left because the atmosphere was tense and the opposite of welcoming to my friends and myself.

I took my husband and 2 grandkids strawberry picking today at 230 slot. We had the same watcher assigned as my last trip. Today was a hot afternoon so we did not really care to stay long. The grandkids did not even care to try the 3 strawberries per person that we were allowed. Again, the watcher said we have 20 minutes to pick but then I replied the website indicates 30 minutes of picking? She said that the website was wrong! If so, I think Management should correct it so NOT to deceive future visitors who maybe slow in picking and would like to stay longer. Thank you.

Seeing a lot of similar reviews here but there has been a steep decline with the service. If you want to be falsely accused of stealing, this is the spot. My family and I used to come here for strawberries and referred multiple neighbors and families over here. Today while my mother was checking out she was falsely accused of filling her strawberry baskets. They cited there is camera footage and I truly hope they find it so they can see their blatantly false accusations. I was completely astonished and appalled by this behavior. Absolutely outrageous. We've never, at any establishment encountered a situation like this. Absolutely terrible, we won't be coming back and telling everyone to stay away.

Great local honey. Tons of herbs you can pick fresh. Really beautiful place. Kind service. Yumyumyumyum Yumyumyumyum Yumyumyumyum

During Valentine's Day i always get my strawberries from manaserro farms. Since the brea location is closest to me but was closed, drove an hour to Irvine only to discover that i was only able to get a small pack of strawberries because they weren't allowing people to buy more than that. I seem to always end up with problems with this farm. Although their strawberries are delicious, I ended up finding a farm in Chino that has even better ones and is closer to me. Sorry Manaserro farms! You just lost a loyal customer! Fresh Strawberries Stand in chino if anyone is interested.

Had the BEST experience. Very easy booking online. I had to move my reservation to 30 min later the day of because my son was still napping and I just called and they happily moved it. I cannot believe this place is basically in my backyard and I've never been. We made reservations for strawberry picking with grandma and my 15 month old son. Had the BEST time. Everything was so organized and clean. They have a little playground for the kiddos with toy tractors where my son played after strawberry picking. Little trinket shop (I regret not buying this beautiful blue flower bowl but I'll be back for it!) and what stuck out to me the most was how absolutely friendly and kind everyone was. Everyone had the biggest smile and was so happy to help. I will without a doubt be back! Thank you for the memories.

This is certainly not the cheapest place for produce but it is one of the best. The fruit and veggies actually taste like they are supposed to. Supermarket strawberries are flavorless but not the strawberries from Manassero farms. They are large and packed with flavor. I come here when I want to treat myself to good produce.

I brought my son here on MLK day and he loved it! They have vintage rides for 50 cents and he had a ball. We ended up coming the next day and plan to return a few times a month. They have a fun kids area with toys and mini bikes. This is a wonderful and FREE activity to do with your child. There's plenty of tables to sit and bring your snacks or lunch

Excellent Quality ! Well placed in the store like a beautiful picture . I'd love to see art classes here for the youth along with planting and picking . As a retired school teacher I know it's important for the youth to get outside away from computers. It's important for the youth to learn that the healthiest lifestyle comes from growing and eating fruits and vegetables. Creating a piece of art to draw or paint what they see at a farm . This experience will help children learn to create the beautiful fruit and vegetables that must continue to be their best asset to good health.

Strawberry picking is wonderful. Strawberry is soooo~ sweet! Fresh & Yummy! I recommend this experience.

Review is for their Breakfast in the Barn Series. Food is 3 stars. Ambiance and experience 4 stars. I'll talk about the food first since it'll be short. Came here May 26 and instead of having the main chef, he was in the hospital, we had another chef. I'm not sure how good the main chef was, but the fill in chef's cooking was just okay. She just did a quick demo of asparagus starter and a sous vide egg, farm veggie medly stir fry, and a sausage. The starter was just asparagus whooo exciting. The 2nd dish garnered just as much excitement. The premade egg sous vide seemed overcooked and didn't taste like anything special. The fresh off the farm veggie medley was also on the bland side. My sausage was overcooked while lover's saussage tasted quite juicy. What we really like most from the food was their breads and loafs. I liked the strawberry one the most. Thir manasarro farms jam was waayyy too sweet. Ambiance is super amazing and cute! Ive never been here before and only walked on the outside. I read on the website that the farmers wife designed and decorated everything herself. If she did, than she has superb taste. I love the repurposed and creative way she used mundane old farm equipment and gave it life. As you work around and see something you like, just grab it and pay at the front. Great PR on her part. Before the breakfast started, they had a table full of breads: sourdough, wheat, their homemade loafs (strawberry, cherry, banana). Everyone pretty much lined up to get the turn at the goodies. Some people hogged the station since they had to butter and put jam on every slice of bread right there instead of placing a bit of each on their plate and spreading it at their own table. About 15 minutes after 1030, the breakfast started. Intro from chef and farmers's wife. Then she had the asparagus demo. Pretty simple stuff, in fact, both dishes she showed was very simple and easy to make. During the breakfast, every table was given champagne, Prosecco kirkland brand, that you can mix with cranberry juice or make mimosas with orange juice. It was cool since it seemed like all you can drink mimosas. Overall, I would give the experience 3.5 stars since I sometimes found myself wishing they would speed things up. There was alot of time, if you were in a big group, to talk and chat if you're into that sort of thing. Us, we just wanted to see the cooking demo, which they didn't show anything, and food. Still recommended to take your loved ones on and enjoy.

Me and my family really enjoyed coming here. Booking a reservation was easy. My child loved being able to pick the strawberries right from the vine. I do recommend taking an extra pair of shoes for possible mud. There was also a small play area for the little kids to play after the strawberry picking, and a small market to buy other items from.
