About This Farm
Crystal Bay Farm at Watsonville opens two days a week and no more, Wednesdays and Sundays, from noon to five.
What You Can Pick
Strawberries at $8.00 a pound, plus raspberries and blackberries in season.
Good to Know
There is a $2.00 entrance fee per person on top of the fruit. At eight dollars a pound this is the most expensive strawberry picking in the region, and it is worth knowing that before the drive over the hill.
Containers are available at the farm stand or you may bring your own.
Groups of more than ten can ask the farm about days and times outside the usual two.
Pro tip: two afternoons a week and a noon opening means the fields get picked hard on Sunday. Wednesday is the quieter half of the week and the rows will have had four days to come back.
