Visiting CA, I was glad I found this great market. Its placement right next to the fields adds great atmosphere and farm-to-market appeal. Extensive product line and the staff add to a great experience.

Great place for fresh artichokes and allot of specialty items. One stand that we always are sure to stop at when in the area.

Love this spot! Visited several weeks ago. Bought a few fun items for my kitchen. Friendly service and a nice road stop. Excellent spot to stretch your legs and shake your hips after a long drive!

Freshest artichokes right from the fields! They have so many varieties of pasta sauces made with artichokes. They have artichoke bread, artichoke cupcakes along with the freshest produce!

WOW. The best grilled artichoke I have ever tasted and I cannot wait to return and try more things on the menu! A wonderful market to buy fresh groceries and all sorts of food items. Highly recommend!

Excellent place to shop for locally grown fruit and veggies. Much better than going to a supermarket. The strawberries and nectarines were sweet. They also have a lot of jams and preserves. And don't forget the artichokes. Raw or preserved or in sauces. And they also have a good truck if you are looking for a quick bite.

Super cute stop in our way out of town. Love the market with fresh artichokes and lots of other cute things and fresh produce. Artichoke cupcakes are something cool to try and don't forget to hit up the French fried artichokes from The Choke Truck sitting at outside! Worthy visit.

What a magical artichoke establishment! My boyfriend and I visited during Halloween season and were so pleasantly surprised! They had a lovely pumpkin patch and decorated for the (our favorite) holiday so nicely!! The entire store was well kept and beautifully arranged! I love that they had artichoke cupcakes and a whole bunch of unique and special artichoke infused options! We spent a grate deal of time here looking at everything and chatting with the lovely and spunky woman at the counter (who was also hustling to the back as well, VERY hard worker with great customer service I wish I remembered her name) thank you for making our trip to Castroville well worth it! We are obsessed with artichokes and this place really is the Disneyland of artichokes! Thank you for making our spo0o0oky little hearts so happy!

This is a great rest-stop on your travels on HWY 1. It is also a fun destination stop for families and people that love artichokes! Its a store shop owned by the Pezzini family. They have seating outside and sell food items. The local pies are delicious a must try if you have not had one of their pies. They carry an assortments of jams, spreads, spices, pickled items, breads, local produce and of course varieties of artichokes. There is nothing better than a "vine ripe artichoke." They sell gift items as well for those seeking souvenirs. There is a food truck "The Choke Truck" on the property that sells deep fried artichokes and other artichoke delicacies.

A hidden little gem off the road. Pezzini farms blew me away with their extensive selection of almost all things artichoke. I suppose located in the capital of artichoke land in the world, I shouldn’t have been surprised. We bought an adorable cheese platter with artichokes designed on it to remind us of our adventures in artichoke land. They have hands down the best and freshest selection around and we enjoyed buying a few for the next couple of days. They also have local organic coffee to keep you up on your drive if you’re going long distances. Will come back here and buy an adorable tote bag and maybe some fun pasta and sauce as my aunt did for her gifts back home.

Shame so cute, but just meh. I had the artichoke tacos that looked great but only tasted like the sauce. My friend had the grilled artichoke bland and no flavor.

Nice place to stretch the legs and gorgeous produce. Must admit it was the sign for artichoke cupcakes that caught my eyes. The cupcakes were just okay, a bit dry. However, the baby artichokes we bought and sautéed later that evening were delicious!

Stopped by here on a family trip to Monterey. We all loved this place. Great fried artichokes on from the food truck. I had the tacos which were also great. Lots of good produce too. A perfect stop.

I love Pezzini. Their produce 😍 and especially artichokes, and Brussels are amazing. They have local goods, Gizditch Pies and Foustman's salami! Stop in, you won't leave empty-handed!😊

Excellent artichokes, meaty, flavorful and fresh. Both the regular size and baby artichokes were amazing.

Wonderful local produce and artesan food items. Entire building has an open air front, good for covid safety. They have everything artichoke. We got fresh artichokes and even artichoke cupcakes, as well as some aioli. Found other beloved local brands like the famous Pescadero garlic artichoke bread, and numerous items I'd never seen from California Pepper Plant like salsa and dry seasoning. Pezzini's is a great produce stand, I'll definitely be back!

Decent stop to get some snacks and goodies on the way home from Monterey. There is also a food truck on the side with the main theme being, what else, but artichokes of course.

Just off Route 1, a stop at Pezzini is the perfect way to take a break from the road and relax a bit. The market offers wonderful local produce and specialty items. Try the artichoke soup -- or any of the artichoke items -- from the food truck for a delicious and convenient lunch.

I was trying to visit Bixby Bridge but the rain was getting heavy. I started heading back, disappointed. I saw this place as I was driving. This is an artichoke farm. There is a market with fresh fruits and veggies and a food truck with all things artichokes. The lady at the counter was a joy! My artichoke tacos were delicious. The sun was shining just over the market. Like a little piece of heaven.

I love this place!! We order online when they are shipping, but it's nice to get here every few years to buy direct. Love the choke wagon parked outside. The grilled are so yumm!!

Amazing food at the food truck. I had the hot dog, my wife had the hamburger and we shared deep fried artichokes 😋 . Dog friendly. We walked around the Farm. Great items to purchase inside the farm. A+++++
