We spotted the stand while driving and we doubled back when we saw word “Pickles”
To our delight we were greeted by John ?who showed us that not only did they have delicious pickles but many other delights: jams, hot sauce, cookies, honey and more. All sourced right here, in NorCal. John, thank you for these edible delights we feel as though we came upon such a hidden gem and we simply cannot wait to return for those pickled peppers ?️!

John is such a delight. Ask him about the size of the “Peace, Love, & Pickles” sign.

Friendly, knowledgeable, organic produce, they make their own pickles, jams, salsas and other canned goods using minimal sugars and nothing artificial. They even offer organic fresh savory pastries, that taste as good as they look!

These are the nicest people with good vibes from a bygone better era.(The 60's and 70"s) They have fresh locally sourced produce and pickled fruits and vegies. I always feel good after shopping there,

We love checking in here on the way up or back from hiking. Lovely, friendly, quirky stand that sells seasonal fruit along with special jams, pickles, and other treats. Definitely worth a stop!

If you love or even just like pickles this place has the best west of the Lower East Side of New York. Pickled beets are the best I've ever tasted. Great preserves, there was a cardamon peach (I think)combo that was blissful. Also got some really good honey here, that, use for hostess gifts. If you have ever drove by this stand on the way to Stinson or home and never stopped. Next time stop you will be happy you did!

My husband and I saw this farm Stan while taking a impromptu trip to Muir beach. Initially, we were so focused on our hike and planned to return on the way back. We were so lucky our Sunday return brought us by this hidden gem before it closed at 5 pm. Not only did it have the delicious pickles it had advertised on a large cardboard sign, but a variety of fruits, vegetables, and kimchi. Beyond the pickles the kimchi was the most enticing to us at the time as we had never tried persimmon kimchi before. The flavor of the kimchi and the persimmon paired well together an combined for the perfect amount of spice and sweet. While we loved the flavor so much that we ate most as a snack, we plan to us the rest as a delicious dinner side dish. The farmer was incredibly friendly and allowed us to try a couple samples to find the right dish for our own personal taste palate. He also informed us that they participate in a farmers market in SF on Sunday mornings. A location I'm sure my husband and I will visit in the near future.

After reading about it online, I had high expectations of Ceceilia's Fruit Stand. So take note: it's not a farmer's market! It's a fruit stand, and a lovely little one at that. Ceceilia's is open on weekends and you can find it on on the side of the Tennessee Valley Road in Mill Valley (photos attached). It's a great location - at a busy intersection right by some major trail heads. They sell seasonal fruit and vegetables, pickled things, honey, dried fruits and nuts. We found: Fuji apples, a few tomatoes, rhubarb, pickles, dried persimmons (the group favorite), red walnuts, raspberries, two types of honey (for $14/jar), strawberry-pluot jam (awesome... and they have other rad flavors too), and fig bars. Great place to stop if you're heading out on a hike and didn't pack a picnic, or find yourself famished after wandering trails all day.

I LOOOOOOVE my weekly rummage, sniff, taste, and chat visits with Josh, the second generation farmer who runs Ceceilia's Gardens stand. Go. Don't just go, but ask Josh for what's especially tasty, and you'll go home with delight in a bag. The fruit and veggies. The pickles. The desserts. The preserves. Please shop here because I want them to thrive for another 30 years. Shop here because it's both ungodly good and totally affordable. No fancy Whole Foods prices, here.

Wish that I was here in cherry season. Did manage to get the best blackberries that we've ever tried. What there was an abundance of was pickled items and fruit jams and jellies. According to the guy at the stand, he makes all the jarred items himself, and the cranberrry-pomegranate sauce speaks of a high skill level indeed. They also sold trail mix which we almost bought since this stand is conveniently located near the Tennessee Valley Trailhead. It is worth stopping at to check out what they have. There were still a few cherries and strawberries from the Central Valley and plenty of great looking vegetables. A winner!
