The Stonybrook Canyon Farm is located in Castro Valley, California, and grows produce for some of the top restaurants in the East Bay. During peak summer harvest, we open our farmstand to residential customers who wish to visit us on Saturday mornings. The farmstand location is at the 2.4 mile marker on Palomares Road when we are open, and we usually open sometime during July each summer. We are a
certified organic farm (certified by CCOF), and use sustainable, regenerative practices in all that we do. In the early 1900s, the Stonybrook Canyon Farm properties belonged to the Riehle family (1909) who grew Pippin apples along Stonybrook Creek, and the Manter family (1923) who grew Royal Ann cherries along Palomares Creek. We are very happy to continue their farming legacy, and we still pick fruit today from some of those original trees. We harvest a wide selection of tomatoes, melons, peaches, pears, mulberries, blackberries, blueberries, greens, flowers, eggs, and a dozen or more other products each summer. Our beehives are active and we offer raw honey for sale during season. Each summer, we purchase a couple of the top Berkshire hogs from the Alameda County Fair. It is the best quality pork we can find, and we offer those cuts to our farmstand customers. Our pork usually sells out within one week. For top chefs in our delivery area who wish to visit, feel free to contact us for a tour of the farm. For residential customers who wish to visit our farmstand, please watch our page for updates. We will post the opening date for our summer farmstand in July, once we know when we can open.
