Swanton Berry Farm + Highway 1S

So, because I was a total laze and did a whole bunch of nothing this weekend, I thought I'd share with you some pictures from last weekend. :)


When my little brother was visiting I took him to my absolute favorite spot for pie in all of California: Swanton Berry Farm (this place will change your life).




Not only is their pie amazing, but the drive there is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. Highway 1S should be zoned as like a national park or something--it's unbelievably breathtaking.







Once we got there we tried a little bit of... everything. :)



From strawberry-rhubarb betties to coconut chocolate cheesecake and strawberry-apple cider, we were totally stuffed driving home.










My favorite part? They have an open cash register, so you pay on your honor. How beautiful is that? Not only do they make the best sweets in all the land, but they believe in the goodness of human beings, too.

Happy Monday!

ps. If you'd like to see the rest of our pictures, visit my Flickr page here.

  6. You are too cute, my dear. Now you have me thinking of gooey berry pie. I love the honor system. I'm pretty good with respecting it, especially when it's well-deserved.
