Dave says, “I should point out that we make a very special ham in-house: it’s sugar-cured, applewood smoked and fully cooked and ready for all holidays or any occasion. We produce 150 of these special hams for a local business every Christmas. They give them as gifts to their employees and favorite clients too.”   

A Three-County-Customer Base

Not only do close-by residents from Corralitos, Freedom and Watsonville shop here, but so do many others, trekking from all over the rest of Santa Cruz County — from Aptos, Capitola, Santa Cruz, and Scotts Valley thru Boulder Creek. Many long-time customers also come Monterey, San Jose, Los Gatos, and other South Bay and North Bay communities.  

“They may not come here every week but we do recognize them,” says Dave. “They’re not tourists: they’ve been shopping here for years.” The market’s Ken Wong says, “When the weather is nice, these folks might make a day of it. They’ll tell us how much they enjoyed the relaxed bucolic, country drive to the market, before possibly doing a picnic at the plaza right across the street, or then going wine tasting, or hiking or bike riding nearby.”
