Love Apple Farms Nursery, located at 5311 Scotts Valley Drive in Scotts Valley is open seasonally, usually from late March through late June, for vegetable plant sales and gardening workshops. Our farm proper, shown below, is open by appointment only, for garden-bed rentals (yes, you can rent garden and greenhouse space from us!), and other private gatherings. Inquire at [email protected] or call 831-588-3801 to receive more information. We also rent structures to private parties, such as: artist and carpentry workshops, yoga studio, therapy or other-such workspace offices, or simply storage. We even have a swimming pool for swim or scuba lessons. Also inquire if you're a teacher and would like to rent either indoor or outdoor space to teach classes.
Cynthia Sandberg, owner and farmer, created Love Apple Farms on the former site of the Smothers Brothers Winery on Vine Hill Road in Santa Cruz. Love Apple Farms partnered with Manresa, a three Michelin starred restaurant, for 11 years, providing them with hundreds of varieties of fruits, vegetables and edible flowers. This relationship was one of the fore-runners in the ubiquitous farm to table movement, and influenced many other such farm/restaurant relationships.
