About This Farm
Swanton Berry Farm at Davenport picks organic berries on the cliffs north of Santa Cruz, and it holds 4.7 from 762 reviewers, second only to Gizdich in this region.
What You Can Pick
Strawberries and blackberries, organically grown.
Good to Know
The farm's own site is unusually reticent: no u-pick hours, no season dates and no prices could be found on any page that would load. Its farm stands run on the honour system, which is part of the character of the place.
Check Instagram before setting out. That is where a farm this size posts what is picking.
Pro tip: Highway 1 north of Santa Cruz is the drive, not just the route. The fields sit above the ocean, the fog holds until midday, and the strawberries taste of it.
