Swanton Berry Fram

Swanton Berry Farm is a place I frequently stop by
when Thomas is kitesurfing at Waddell Creek Beach
(which is like every weekend). This is one of the
great coffee (and other goodies) stop on Highway 1.



Founded in 1983, the Swanton Berry Farm became
the first certified organic strawberry farm in 
California in 1987. The farm offers pick-your-own
berries when in season.


Different kinds of Swanton's goodies are
available at the store depending on the season.
There is a jam tasting station where one can
try out their assortment of berry jams. Several
kinds of simple homemade style desserts are also
available. The cobbler is one of our favorites.



Jam tasting station!
There are no staff manning the cashier so it's
a honor system. Place the money you pay into
the cash pan. Big bills goes into the slot.
Table and sofa are available indoor 
and outdoor for general picnic.

Pro tips: 
The farm grows vegetable during winter season and
(sometimes) sells a hearty veggie soup available
only during winter. I grab a bowl everytime. 

Bring a jacket or windbreaker, the coast is
always chilly and windy even during summer.
