About This Farm
Live Earth Farm at Watsonville runs the longest picking season in this region by a distance: 16 May to late October, five and a half months, on a farm best known for its CSA.
What You Can Pick
- Strawberries - from 16 May, at $3 a pound
- Blackberries and raspberries - through the summer
- Dry-farmed tomatoes - from 1 August, $3 a pound, or $2.50 for twenty pounds or more
- Cherry tomatoes - $3 a pound
- Apples - from 30 August, at $2 a pound
Good to Know
Open Saturdays and Sundays, 10am to 3pm, and u-pick runs on those same days when conditions permit, which is the farm's own qualifier.
Picking containers are provided, and you may bring your own bags or baskets.
Pro tip: dry-farmed tomatoes are the reason to come in August. The technique withholds water to concentrate the flavour, it is close to unique to this stretch of coast, and $3 a pound to pick them yourself is a fraction of what they fetch at a Bay Area market.
