I absolutely love your photos and your writing is stellar as well. I live in Maine and I eagerly await the farmers market here opening in April. If it ever stops snowing. There is nothing quite like keeping it local when you can. The quality just can’t compare. You and your husband are truly artists. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂

S&S – Thanks for such a wonderful compliment but the credit goes to my husband. He’s the artist behind the camera.

Tim – We have a Roberto’s right by where we are staying. I’m assuming it’s a small chain. We actually read that Adalberto’s was the place to go for authentic Cali burritos, but maybe we might have to stop at Roberto’s today before we head out.

Roxana – I know I was a bit elusive on exactly which farm it was and I apologize. As my husband was taking the pictures they asked that he stopped out of respect for the owners as they have gotten burned in the past for people using the photos for the wrong reasons. I would hope that if the owners ever saw these photos and this post that they would understand that my desire is to honor them and the work they do. Having said that, the farm I am talking about is indeed Chino Farms – where Tim, in the above comment tells me I have to go to. 🙂 Thanks for your comment.

Ashley, I just discovered your blog today and fell in love with your stories and the photos. And I think this one I like the best ( trying hard to move from the licking fingers good chocolate frosting) and would love to go this farm. Could you share the name and/or address? pretty please….

I hope I’m not too late! If you are still in San Diego, I recommend getting a California Burrito at Roberto’s and enjoying the spectacular views of Torrey Pines State Reserve and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. It is on Carmel Valley Road just east of the 101/North Torrey Pines Road.

About 5 miles from there, you can visit Chino Farms. It is the place where the top chefs in San Diego get their produce .

Best Wishes.

Aran – I am so glad that you share a similar passion and you understand what I was trying to communicate. It is very refreshing to meet people who are on the same page and value great quality food the way I do. Thanks for your comment.

Heather – I am so sorry that you are without the So Cal burrito. I still have yet to try it but I will try not to rub it in to much. 🙂

Wow… That was beautiful Ashley. Seriuosly. I share the same passion for farmers and artisans in general that take pride in their craft so reading your post almost brought tears to my eyes. Those photos were beautiful and my mouth was watering. Great quality ingredients don’t need any difficult technique. Thank you for sharing that and have fun in your vacation! I love reading your blog.
