Stehly Farms Market

Just walking in to this place can/​will literally alter your consciousness. Packed full of fresh, organic fruits and vegetables, yes. But the juice bar at the back emits an aromatherapy and energy that will trigger your lymphatic and endocrine systems into high alert. I almost felt like I didn’t even need a juice, I had already received a buzz from the ginger, kale, beet, lemon, celery, apple and love ions floating around in there. But order away I did. I was on vacation and the dollar management system was on leave. Several days of several different juices and smoothies later, I felt amazingly cleansed and energized. Between a few days of Ginseng Yoga next door and this place, I felt like I had just had been to a week long spiritual retreat. So, yes the juices and smoothies are expensive here, but they are pure IV medicine. Practically injected through your sight, smell and taste systems. At least once in your life, experience a juice like this. It’s to die (live) for.
Thanks y’all (K, A, V, others…)

This location is CLOSED! I arrived this weekend ready to order my favorite go-​to green juice, only to discover that Stehly is gone. Although nearly identical in appearance, a new owner and new branding as «Sacred Juice» has taken over the tiny shop.
The day I went, they still had the produce and frozen yogurt, but the juice menu was almost halved. About 5 selections of green juices, 4 – 5 smoothies and wheatgrass shots. They also only had two of the four yogurt machines running and half the toppings were gone.
I really miss Stehly’s larger and creative juice menu. This 4-​star review reflects my love affair with Stehly those sweet few months it was open.

Stehly farms is just what the neighborhood needed. Local, organic farm fresh eggs, meat, produce and a juice bar. Variety of locally grown fruits and veggies is the main attraction, juices and smoothies are delicious and nutritious. Top quality selection and friendly staff.

This is for the produce and not the juice and yogurt bar.
I cheat on Ripe and come here when I want fresh organic vegetables for my home cooked meals. I am rarely disappointed. I love vegetables so this place is perfect when I think up a meal on the way home and Ripe is closed. I can walk to Stehly from my house it’s that close. They have beautiful Brussels sprouts and wonderful full size button mushrooms. I stir fried up some of their fresh green onions the other day for a pasta recipe that I was making, my entire kitchen smelled like heaven. There is nothing like fresh organic produce in my opinion. It’s minor but it’s enough to impact my review. When the owner or Managers I think are on duty, the staff is on point but it’s hit and miss when they are not around.
I will still shop here as they are open later than Ripe.
Wow, just read some of the other 1 and 2 star reviews on here. Management/​Owner of this business, your employees are going to start negatively hitting your profit margin! What a shame.

This place has a fantastic juice menu! Fresh and delicious with some fun and interesting combinations of fruits and veggies. The frozen yogurt is also tastey. I was excited to see them open up in my neighborhood. Why just four stars? They’re just a bit too pricey. Some of the special smoothies cost $ 10 for 16 oz. which seems a bit ridiculous. I stop in here from time to time for a special treat, but it’s too expensive to become a regular habit.

Three stars for location and convenience; however, the prices are very high and the customer service is very poor. There is a complete lack of energy in this market. It’s like walking into a store where it’s forced labor. No one is happy and everyone seems irritated. It’s got the farmers market stock without the farmers market enthusiasm. Sorry, but I’d like a little happy with my $ 10 smoothie, please.

I sincerely hope that they make it in this location. I had a great smoothie from the juice bar this afternoon, almost worth every penny. The prices are a bit high for a sustainable customer base, but I guess not higher than I would expect for an organic foods boutique (which is probably the best way to describe the store).
I read the other reviews, and I am a little bit surprised at how impatient folks are with young people that are getting started in the working world… with that being said I am not sure that people will be convinced of the value when the product is being sold by such inexperienced kids.
Again, my smoothie was great, but I cannot justify the $ 9.50 price tag enough to make it a regular stop. I would probably buy a small number of the produce items in a pinch, but I would head elsewhere to do any major shopping.

What a nice addition to the neighborhood! Great quality produce and I love that it’s all organic. Decent selection for such a small space, but you’ll probably need to supplement elsewhere. They also have a refrigerated section which is great! I love that the smoothie bar gets it’s produce straight from the sale floor — which guarantees it’s freshness. AND they have frozen yogurt with fruit toppings. I’m so happy to have this in walking distance from my house. Good stuff!

I absolutely LOVE this place. Their produce is fresh and organic. I visit at least 3 to 4 times a week and get my veggies and fruit there. I also love their juice bar and the frozen yogurt. Sometimes the service is a little slow when you order a smoothie or juice. However, I know they are making everything from scratch so it is to be expected… especially when it is busy. Everyone is super nice and I hope more people shop here to keep them in the neighborhood.

I got the «pore cleanser» fresh carrot juice and it tasted great! I would give it 5
Stars alone for the taste. I payed almost $ 6 for 12 ounces :(that’s pricey in my opinion. My first sip before I even left the door left me at half a cup of juice!
I own a juicer and I could make a hell of a lot more than 12 ounces if I were to drop by trader joes and spend $ 6 to pick up some organic fruits and veggies.
My friend got a smoothie which was great but also about $ 6 for the smallest size (which I believe was NINE OUNCES) :(
I would be here every single day if it weren’t for the outrageous pricing.
This market/​juicery has a wonderful idea behind it but I’m very disappointed in the pricing! May or may not be back… Highly doubt it though.

Great source for good produce. Not cheap (probably comparable to farmers’ market prices), but it’s convenient and accessible.
Thank you for stocking dry-​farmed tomatoes!

I come here only because i go to next door yoga studio. It is crazy overpriced. 2 starts for convenience. $ 8.59 per pound for spinach. Really? Is it gold? It is the same organic as Costco organic, but the prices are so high that you want to run away from there, i don’t mind spending good fortune on my favorite fruits and veggies, but not $ 20 for 3 tomatoes, 1 pineapple and 1 small basket of strawberries. NO way. I better drive to my fav Trader’s Joe and enjoy shopping for fresh produce there.

$ 6 for donut peaches you crazy!
Other stuff was fairly priced though, and i grabbed a grip of random fruits and veggies.
Young kid workin seemed uninterested and, well, kinda clueless. I asked him where those donut peaches were from and he said something like ‘i dunnohhhh the owner goes and picks them up in LA from somewhere’. Nah man… like what farm grew them? I dunnohhhhhh. Ok, good luck selling them my friend! How bout something like: those peaches are from _​_​_​_​_​_​_​, who grow only the top quality organic sweet ripe peaches; wanna try one?! Then, perhaps id be interested at $ 6/​lb.
Ok, thats ma two cents on the damn peaches! Itsa 3 star overall spot and its cool to see em in the South Park hood. Itll be interesting to see if they can maintain…

Sunday 11:30am I take a stroll and decide to try this place out. I order one of their $ 7.75 overpriced juices which they lacked the pineapple to properly make per their posted menu. While I waited, I surveyed their organic produce options. The conversation went as follows to the mono-​toned and unenthusiastic employee who lacked basic produce knowledge and seemingly came across as candescending.
Me: what type of peppers are these?
Employee: uhhhh I don’t know
Me: can you find out? I am looking for Shishito Peppers
Employee: uhh sorry the owner isn’t here… I have no idea.
On top of which, the floor was sticky and had clearly not been mopped in a while… I feel two stars is plenty generous. if I were the owner, I would not leave my newly opened business in the hands of a bunch of kids and expect to maintain a high standard of quality. As a business owner, I am present for quality control almost at all times.

They are awesome. Came here on a Saturday night and they had a table out with free samples of Valencia orange juice, peaches and strawberries. They also have really good frozen yogurt.

Freshness and quality produce and vegetable market that also can make smoothies and juices. It’s like jamba juice meets the produce and fruit section of Whole Foods or Jimbos. Local organic fresh San Diego produce but some items are not from the actual farm itself. Storefront is rather small and cramped but that is a minor inconvenience. Frozen yogurt now self-​served with all the toppings $ 9.99 per pound. Love this place.

Solid little place with great potential.
I’ve been wanting to try this place since it opened a couple of months ago. One day I was walking home after picking up some breakfast at Grants and went inside.
They have a great selection of really good looking produce. I bought several apricots they tasted great and were ripe. Looking at the rest of the produce gave me the same impression. The place is really clean and well-​kept so far.
You guys are probably wondering why this isn’t a solid 5-​star spot.
The service was very underwhelming,
I was in line with 3 people in front of me, my order was taken quickly, my drink took longer than 20 minutes to make.
This is understandable given the circumstance, but it wasn’t that busy at all. There were people kept waiting while the cashier helped out with the juicing.
I am giving it a pass because the staff was really friendly and helpful.
Overall above average shop. If you are in the area please support it so we can make this a long-​lasting member of our great community in South Park.

Like a stripper, if you don’t give it your money, it will go away.
For all of you who live and/​or frequent this area, you should come check out this nifty little all-​organic grocer and juice bar.
I happened to stumble upon this place while waiting for my party’s table to be ready nearby. I would have totally overlooked it if it weren’t for the fact that a guy was walking out of it just as I was about to pass by. There isn’t even a store sign up yet (should be finished soon, according to one of the workers). They have only been open 3 weeks.
Inside you’ll find fresh-​looking organic veggies and fruits. I got a few white peaches and a huge green heirloom tomato. They also have a juice bar. I saw on their menu that they have acai bowls, but I was told that they don’t quite have all the ingredients to make them yet, but they will any day now. I hope to come back and give that a try.
Super friendly workers and some pesticide-​free produce and juices. If you’re into that, get into this store.
Sorry guys, while there were two lovely ladies working there, they were fully clothed and no poles in sight. However, they do accept tips…

I was really excited to check this place out! Finally stopped by this past weekend. It’s smaller than I expected, but very charming. Good selection of organic produce. Bought a couple things, which included a small jar of strawberry jam. At $ 7 for a small jar, I walked home wondering if it was worth it. Popped an english muffin in the toaster, spread some of that gold-​plated jam on it, fiancé & I took a bite, looked at each other, nodded our heads & agreed that it was some damn good jam! Worth the $ 7. That was Sunday, today is Wednesday & the jar is pretty much empty. I also tried a green juice — YUM! Fiancé had a fruit smoothie & he was sad when it ended. I’ll probably be going on more weekend walks around the neighborhood & stopping by for some juices & smoothies!

Just checked this place out. Amazing! I live in and love South Park, but always lament two short-​comings: good produce and good coffee. I will still have to travel north to Coffee and Tea Collective for my coffee fix (sorry Grants/Rebecca’s…), but luckily we now have a little hole in the wall of fresh organic produce that is open 7 days a week.
On our visit we got a nice mix of fruit, vegetables, and chicken, and everything was Whole Foods/​Farmers Market quality. The butter lettuce was particularly crunchy (and almost spotlessly clean, oddly enough).
I also got a fresh pear juice from their juice bar. Not cheap, but I felt validated paying when I saw them pick out the pears from the market floor by hand and cut them up to order. The freshness showed in the pulpy result. I would estimate price/​quality to be equivalent to the Whole Foods juice bar.
As might be expected this place is not cheap, but for organic, local, freshly picked and hand selected produce you can’t expect to pay much less. And being able to walk here after work to get a couple fresh ingredients for dinner is awesome. Think of this as your mini neighborhood Whole Foods, minus the lines and crowds, and the temptation to spend on packaged stuff you don’t really need.
Wish list? Get some bread and dairy. I’m a big fan of Prager Brothers bread, if you can get it. They are at the farmers markets, and even better than Bread and Cie.
