On the Hippie Trail...Solvang, California


It was the Cheapskate's wedding anniversary this weekend so we went away for an overnighter up north in Solvang, California. No gardening for me this weekend.



Instead, here are some pictures of Classic Organic Farms, an organic farm just off the 101 Freeway just outside of Solvang.



Organic? Check. Peace sign? Check. So, I guess this is the local hippie farm. I've got to stop in.



Goats frolic on the green hills. Fat cats look for rodents out in the fields.



In the barn, a good looking array of fresh Fuji apples, citrus, carrots, and other vegetables await.

Paying is on the honor system. Put your money in the slot, make your own change from the loose change sitting on top, or write a check and slip it in.



Don't try to cheat, or the guard will get you.



Before we leave, I need to stop and make a new friend.

    It is. It's a great place for an impromptu picnic too.
