Hollister, California is a real town that has been around since the 1870s. Unlike the fictional town created by a corporate clothing company, Hollister is no where near a beach. The town is about 45 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. Seagulls occasionally make their way over the mountains. Hopefully, they are able to find their way back.

100 Things I Like: Bertuccio's Produce Stand
"We need eggs."
Lately, that means a bicycle ride to Bertuccio's Produce Stand. There, the husband and I can get a dozen of fresh eggs "donated" by local chickens. We also like to go there for nuts and jams, all locally produced. Sometimes we find great produce bargains; for instance, once time, we got avocados for 50 cents each. And, every now and then, they have a basket of free produce that are still good, but not good enough to be sold. Totally like that.
Bertuccio's Produce Stand is just before you reach the corner of Highway 25 (Airline Highway) and Union Road, as you're heading south on 25. That cool old truck marks the spot where you'll be turning right onto Bertuccio's driveway.

The "100 Things" idea is great. It gives a real sense of local stuff to do and see. Love this produce place with the nuts and locally made jams. wow thanks!
ReplyDeleteL.D., you're quite welcome. We bought a bottle of red popcorn kernels there the other day. Light and very tasty. Not at all like anything on the shelves, including Paul Newman's.
