Barn Fresh Produce
I am a huge cherry fan and planned a road trip to San Francisco during cherry season so I could get some delicious farm fresh cherries. I tried some supermarket cherries but most of them were the small light red variety lacking bold sweet cherry flavor. Driving north on Highway 1 just north of Monterrey I was excited to see the cherry sign next to Barn Fresh Produce.
I spotted some plump dark red cherries that looked good. I tested one. It was plump, firm and full of sweet cherry flavor. Best cherry I’ve eaten this year. I bought 2 bags.
Strawberries were bright red and huge.
I bought a basket. They were full of sweet strawberry flavor.
I saw some California grown pineapple. Had no idea pineapples were grown here.
There is also a cool cat that was patrolling the area.
2nd visit. The California grown pineapples were gone. In their place I noticed Rainier cherries. First batch of the season they were on the small side. Flavor was not as sweet as I prefer. I’ll keep my eyes out for when the plump sweet ones are out.
I was excited to see Taco Works of San Luis Obispo Tortilla Chips. Lays has a taco flavored version of Dortitos but it’s a bit too cheesy for my taste. Taco Works version was fresh, crunchy, with a real nice tortilla chip flavor and additional taco flavor. Great tortilla chips.
I was very impressed by the quality of the fruit here. I’ll have to plan another trip up here during cherry season next year. 🙂

I like to take photos of beautiful things like rain falling into puddles. Photos were mostly taken on a Fuji XE-2. Starting 9.9.2016 most photos are taken on a Fuji XT-2. Subsequent photos were taken with an Iphone 13 Pro and an Iphone 15 Pro Max.

My family loves cherries! Are they in season right now? I’ve been seeing them at markets and Costco. Any go-to place to buy them in San Diego?

They are in season right now! The best ones I found were at the Hillcrest Farmers market. Costco tends to have really good ones. The supermarket ones I’ve tested were just ok.
