Love Apple Farm - Santa Cruz

I’ve been purchasing tomato plants from this place for about four years, and they consistently provide the best tomatoes. Their website is packed with helpful information for anyone looking to be a successful backyard gardener. One of my favorite features is the detailed descriptions, which guide you on what to grow based on your location—like opting for smaller tomatoes if you're on the coast. Fortunately, I have a large sunny area in my backyard where I mainly grow beefsteaks. I’ve also attended two classes at their instructional center, and both were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. I’m eager to take more classes in the future. The owner, Cynthia, is really friendly and has created a wonderful environment.

I want to express my gratitude to the woman who gave me a tomato plant as a kind gesture! You truly made my summer!

Fantastic selection of tomatoes! I'm thrilled about the unique varieties they offer. I also managed to grab a few Carolina Reapers.

Consistently high quality tomatoes and eggplants for my garden with a massive selection of heirloom and hybrids to choose from, more than you'll ever find at hardware stores or any garden centers I've found. Knowledgeable and helpful staff. I went over the top with 15 varieties of tomatoes and 3 varieties of eggplant this year.

I was so surprised to call Cynthia at Love Apple Farm to ask a few questions about soil amendments and tø my surprise she was sending me websites tø help me out!!!! She was so førthcoming, honest and upfront about her gardening and all that she has learned! I cannot wait to take her classes after Covid19 to help make my life long learning about garden more complete! Give her a call! You won't be sorry!! Çarolyn Johnson
