Halcyon Farms

What a delightful experience we had at Halcyon Fatms . They have an array of vegetables and fruit, all fresh and organically grown. They also have some essential oil sprays, olive oil, balsamic vinegars, honey, pre-made harvest bags, to name a few.

Came to pick berries and got some yummy veggies and honey too. Super fair prices and great service. Everyone was so nice and we definitely found our weekly produce stop. My kiddo had a BLAST picking his own raspberries too!

The Rutiz family has retired and passed on the traditions of Rutiz Farms to a new team. Halcyon Farms keeps the things you love (including the best strawberries around) and brings in additional payment types (e.g. they now accept cards in addition to cash/venmo).

Pesticide free produce, family friendly farm-stand. Love the produce, love the additional food sellers. Jerry Rutiz sets a very high standard for any business to follow. Impeccable service.

Great family farm. The you pick blackberries were great and very reasonably priced. Hope they do well.

When we moved to the area a couple years ago, we were excited to get more direct access to local produce, and tried out many options, from neighbors' backyards to SLO farmer's market. After a while, we settled on Halycon as the almost sole source of produce. It's like a little mini farmer's market. They grow a pretty good variety of stuff themselves, and supplant with other local farms that they've vetted and like. Plus over the last year? there's been more processed stuff as well: bread, honey, that sort of stuff. But it's all filtered through a consistent quality control, and everything is clearly labeled on where it's from and whether or not it's organic. This (plus the lack of crowds) makes it far more pleasant an experience than any of the local farmer's markets. When it's the right season, u-pick berries are great too. Unlike tourist-focused places, it costs less for you to do the work :) and we've found it's a great thing to do when friends visit from out of town: it keeps our hands busy so our phones stay in our pockets, but it's calm enough we can chat through the time. They've got a box of scraps that kiddos can pull from to feed the chickens, which provides endless entertainment for them. Folks are all great to talk to. This is everything I want my relationship with local farms to be.

Best produce, so fresh & during the season- stop by for some berry picking. 😋 This is definitely my happy place. …

The best farm stand. I love going here for their harvest bags.
