Hidden Star Orchards

Johann Smit, the owner, I met him and this guy is passionate about farming and what he grows. I only wish more people were just as good-​hearted as this guy. He stands by his product and I love their apples and their drinks! Some of the best apples I’ve ever had in my life

I found the sugar-​free Blueberry Preserves at
. I love it on my almond butter toast. Yum!
Thank you Hidden Star Orchards for making a yummy quality sugar-​free product!

This is just a review of their Apple Cherry Cider juice which I bought at the Campbell Farmer’s Market: It is incredible (though a tad too sweet).
I will be buying it frequently

I bought their products today from the Campbell Farmers Market and I loved their apple ciders. I bought an original apple cider and a cherry apple cider. It’s one of the best apple ciders I’ve had. I definitely enjoyed it and would love to buy more. The only thing is I felt that the juice was a little pricy, especially the pomegranate juice. A pint of pomegranate juice is $ 5 while regular apple cider is $ 3.

I remember when the Farmer’s Market started in a parking lot along the Embarcadero, moved to the plaza behind the Hyatt Regency SF, and finally moved to the Ferry Building.
Through these times, I remember the apple vendor who had the best fresh squeezed juices… love my apple juice. Then, he came out with grape juice and a combination apple cherry juice, which is what I bought today. It comes in three sizes: a) pint — $ 3.00, b) quart = $ 5.00, c) half gallon — $ 7.00 No, it’s not the bottled stuff that’s been sitting on a delivery truck and a fridge for who knows how long; that’s why you have to drink it within two or three days. Johann is very kind, friendly, and informative. Like me, he loves his sports too (Giants? A’s? Warriors?). On those warm summer days, there’s nothing like quenching that thirst with an ice cold bottle of juice. Oh, I forgot to mention, his stuff is organic.
