Join us once again at Mariquita Farm in Hollister! Stroll along fields of organic, colorful tomatoes (and yes, we mean colorful – Cherokee Purple and maybe some Cherokee Green, Pink and Yellow Brandywine; Striped German; Beefsteak; San Marzano; and both Dry-Farmed and Irrigated Principe Borghese), pick your own haul at $0.75 per pound! But wait, there is more, this year, we will also have Padron and Friarelli Peppers for picking at $2.00 per pound, and sweet and hot peppers available for purchase. End your day at Mariquita Farm by bringing something to share with the group at a picnic potluck.  Our gracious host Andy Griffin will also be roasting his famous padron peppers and talking to us about his farm and growing tomatoes in the Bay area.  Drinks will be available for purchase at the event.
