Gama Farm

I love their eggs but the Farmers Market where I buy them closed and I can’t find Gama any more. I tried calling the number on their website but it says the voicemail is not set up. I don’t know how to contact them. Gama, if you are reading this, please reply how to reach you. Thanks.

I have lots of issues with store-​bought eggs, mainly, I don’t want my eggs coming out of some nasty factory. I am so happy to have discovered Gama Farms (via Good Eggs). The eggs are amazing! I wanted to read more about them and found a bunch of negative reviews here but I was very pleased to read the farms response and see their photos. Looks like happy chickens to me, outside in a lovely setting. The main thing is, these eggs are incredible! They are delicious and fresh and taste the way eggs should taste. I highly recommend them.

I am NOT convinced the cage free free range eggs i bought this weekend at Cerritos farmers market are TRUE pastured and finished eggs. First of all, when i asked the worker what the chickens ate he kinda looked at me and then turned to help soemeone else. So i waited and asked again, he looks and said whatever is in the ground and waves his hand to demonstrate ground. While i waited, i even thought i should leave now. Shouldnt be so hard to answer what kind of feed the chickens eat? So i bought an 18pk for 6 dollars. Great deal, huh? If you buy pastured eggs you know they can cost btw 5 and 13 dollars/​dz. Well here we are making bfast amd these egg yolks are as light as cheap store bought eggs. The shell is hard, but the whites are runny. The yolk, aside from being PALE yellow, is not compact and round, rather it falls flat when i put it in the pan. Im sure these birds hit the grass but what are they eating? Feed? The yolk and white are dead giveaways. Thank but no thanks. I should have known better. Look for a farm you can trust and get legitimate info from! Ill go back to paying more for healthier eggs and leave the deals to those who dont care what their chickens eat.

Hello there all valuable Gama farms customers my name is jesus gama and I work for my grandpa at gama farms. I am shocked to see some of the negative reviews and some of the curious reviews we have gotten. I will gladly be happy to clear up any confusion or curiosity with our farm.
I’ll start with the comment left by Lana C.
To begin with Gama Farms does not have an official website up at the moment. The one website I did find was created by a market manager created many many years ago numbers and all. That is why there is a lack of pictures and information regarding the farm as it was not created or up kept by anyone at Gama farms. I will gladly leave up to date contact information at the end of my post for any one who wants to get in tact with the REAL Gama farm. As for ur concerns about the marked out cartons we do take back many egg cartoons from many different places as a majority of our customers bring them back and wish for us to re use them as a way to help out the environment. As for the blacking out of words on the trays it is both a agriculture and health department rule that mandates we do not have any other farms name on the carton we also black out the old Julian date and desperation date that are usually on the side or your egg carton. I will also post up some up to date pictures of the farm for all to see. I truly hope that answered most of the questions on your review and if I missed anything I will leave my contact information at the end of this review to answer any further question.

I am very sorry to hear that your visit with us did not go so well. I am shocked to hear that some of our employees would treat customers with crapy service. I always make it a priority to make sure a customer always leaves happy and satisfied with the produce they purchase. If possible I would like to know the market that this crappy service was give so we can make sure that employee steps up his or her customer service so that future customers may have better experiences. As well if you can contact me at the information left at the end of this post I would like to make or wron right and give u the farm fresh produce u deserve. Again our apologies to you and hope I am able to win back your trust in Gama farms again in the near future.

Again sorry to hear you had a bad experience with one of our employees like I stated above if possible may I know the market you experienced this bad service at? And as we’ll like I stated earlier the website was not created by Gama farms. That being the reason why there is a lack of information on that website. I will leave my information at the end of this post to as will and try to make our wrong right with you.

I read your review and understand your concerns I will load up more pictures of the farm so you get a way better image then a google over shot. And have no worries we do have thousands of chickens agriculture departments must check every farm and make sure everything we grow, harvest, and raise is on the farm. As well we get yearly visits by many many different market managers. If you do have more questions please feel free to contace me.
We appreciate all the positive reviews we did get here and are glad to hear that coustomers appreciate or produce as we do try our best to bring the best and freshest to farmers markets near every one of our amazing coustomers.

I am a daily egg eater. I like them cooked any style. Over easy to hard boiled, scrambled, poached, and I love hollindaise too! Now, knowing that about me, I have to tell you their eggs are delicious and way better than store bought. They are more «meaty» tasting with bright yellow yolks and tasty whites. My husband is not the biggest fan of eggs and he just loved these. He too commented on the richness of flavor. He normally doesn’t eat the whites in store bought eggs because they are flavorless and all slimy texture to him. He ate every part of the Gama egg.
I’m giving only 4 stars because the part about the pastured chickens is in question and perhaps not the friendliest service. Still, way better than store bought by a mile. We will buy again.

Something ain’t right with this vendor. Steer clear and go to another one along your route; the woman fronting for this so-​called Gama Farms is mean and the produce sold is not what they say they sell on the website. Further, the eggs — fishy. I mean, scammy. Something ain’t right. The contact phone numbers? Can’t contact anyone. I’ll be seeing the FM’s coordinators to discuss the legitimacy of these guys.

I recently (Wednesday ⁷⁄₃) purchased a dozen eggs from «Gama Farm» at the OB Farmers Market. When I got them home I noticed the carton had some writing blacked out with marker and the farm’s own label stuck on top. No big deal, I thought, kudos to them for being green and recycling used egg cartons. But then my suspicion took over and I decided to google them, leading me to Unilocal where one reviewer gives the google map coordinates to where their supposed 2000 chickens pasture (or graze, I don’t know what chickens do, I just like them to be happy & healthy while they’re doing it). I then tried to call both the number on their website and the one listed on that label, BOTH were out of service cell phone #s. Shady! Oh, and speaking of the website, their pictures page shows a few «farmers» picking up sticks, but nary a chicken nor an egg.
Hopefully I’m mistaken and the whole operation is legit but I definitely have my doubts; I’ll also post this review on the OB farmers market page… it does make me wonder if these certified farmers markets are doing much to actually certify their vendors… perhaps a local news investigation is warranted on the subject?
Ps. The woman working the stand also turned into a biatch when I could have a different dozen that was considerably larger, muttering under her breath and copping a major ‘tude.

Why would a farmer in Arvin come to Riverside once a week, for 5 hours, and sell rotten and crappy food? I bought a 10 lb bag o f oranges, half were molded, couldn’t see it through the bag. Bought tomatoes, eggs, 2 out of 12 were brownish when I cracked them one. I was afraid of what I couldn’t see, so tossed them. I bought little potatos in a 1 lb bag. Again couldn’t see the wrinkles, and how soft an bad they were until I got home. I’m so mad, I might never go to riverside ca again unless I check every item. I might go back and throw the bad items back to them from across the street.
I thought you only got top quality stuff at farmers markets. NOT SO, THEY DISGUISE THEIR CRAP AND DUMP IT ON UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED!

This is the 80 acres where they supposedly raise their pastured chickens:
Do you actually BELIEVE they have thousands of pastured chickens here? They say that THIS is where all of their eggs come from.
Whose eggs are they REALLY selling?

They are at the West Hollywood Farmer’s Market (Monday 9a-​2p) as well.
Thank you Jessica for the review. I didn’t know they sell garlic, and will look out for it.
They sell great eggs. I get eggs from them because they claim a «no kill» policy, allowing the hens to roam their produce farm freely. This is kind of a grey area because it means the old/​sick/​slow get picked by predators, but it beats store-​bought.
180 eggs or more gets quantity pricing, at par with Trader Joe’s.
The farm is probably in Arvin, next to Bakersfield: 10 910 General Beale Road, Arvin, CA.

I love this farm! I find them in Hermosa Beach at the farmers market on Fridays, as well as the Redondo Beach one on Fridays near the village.
Gama Farms has the BEST garlic around! huge, juicy, tender cloves that taste amazing. I have planted some of this garlic in my own garden and its great :) love love love their garlic. Their smaller sized honey can be purchased for a great deal $ 7 and its deliciously sweet (how is it sweeter than other honeys?) They also have very nice potatoes and onions. These foods are all staples in our house, so I am very thankful to have a local organic resource such as Gama Farms around! they ROCK! excited for the coming fruit season :)
