We originally ran into them at the Farmer's Market in San Luis Obispo, where we loved their vegetables and they were exceptionally friendly. I really wanted to see the place, mostly because I love a great vegetable farm, and I was interested to see how "free-range" their animals really are. I asked to see where their animals were located, but was quickly told that the public is not allowed to go into those areas. I'm sure they thought I was a member of PETA and would set their animals free, but I only would have done that if I saw that they weren't really in good conditions, as they claim. :) I tried to go up the road as far as I was allowed, but couldn't see any roaming animals. I wish they would be willing to give monitored tours to those who are willing to see the animals. Hey - if you have nothing to hide, then let's see 'em!
We were also really surprised to see that they have a whole space where they sell products that they make from all of their produce. Really beautiful, yummy products. We purchased a few things: strawberry juice, olive oil, salad dressing, etc. I also picked up some bok choy because I have a special love of baby bok choy, and it made me very excited to see they had some. :)
We had a really nice afternoon, running around the beautiful farms and vineyards in Paso Robles, and it was especially nice to spend it with my mommy. :)
Here is the main store:
Some of their olive oil (we bought some with balsamic vinegar in it):
The beautiful area where this farm was located:
Artichoke plants! I want one SO bad, but I need a nice big backyard first :)
Here's an attempt at a picture of the produce in the tented house:
