Frog Hollow Farm


Frog Hollow is probably the most consistent purveyor of tasty organic fruits in California. And, for the record, their peaches are good for the soul too.

It must be noted with some glee that the Ferry Plaza shop offers pastry made with organic ingredients, like peach galettes*, and fruit conserves, offering a gleam of summer during this hibernating season. It is a fancy fruit stand with fruit (cold storage?) and an on-site kitchen for pastry and coffee.

The peach in the galette is signature Frog Hollow – acidic, sweet, and floral – with all the components in harmony. The construction of the pastry is flaky and rich even if it is not to the level of Bay Bread. But, with Frog Hollow peach as ingredient, it would be unfair to have the perfect pastry dough too.
