Nov 09BIG SUR & STRAWBERRY FIELDS
Driving down HWY 1 there is no shortage of organic produce, pumpkins, pies and jam. Asael and I saw a sign that said “jam tasting” and we immediately made a u-turn and drove right up to the jam haven. The place was called Swanton Berry Farm and is the oldest organic strawberry farm in Califonia. The place had tons of jams to sample – which we did – and if you wanted to buy something, it was on the honor system. All you had to do was leave your money and make change if you needed. Ah, what a way to live.
We grow nopales (cactus) in my backyard so I was excited to see this field of them when we visited the farm. The place was full of wonderment, including these teeth and an awesome scale that I just had to share with you.
The last photo is of one of my favorite places in the world, Big Sur. What a great view from Nepenthe restaurant at sunset. Cannot wait to return.
