How to get to to Chino Farm from I-5: Exit Via de la Valle (one of the two exits in Del Mar). Drive east for a ways (a few miles?). At Calzada del Bosque, turn right. Just before you get to Calzada del Bosque, you'll start passing by part of the farmland on your right. Drive on Calzada del Bosque until you get to a small stand on the right (it will be before the next intersection). That's it! It's very modest looking, except for all the fancy customers' cars in front.
 
As to whether it's worth going there: ABSOLUTELY. The corn is spectacular, the tomatoes are great, and there are lots of specialty vegetables that make the trip worthwhile.
 
Usually, when I go, some of my favorite chefs are there (Trey Forshee of George's at the Cove, Martin Woelse (misspelled, I'm sure) of Mille Fleur), and if you're lucky, the insufferable Jeffrey Steingarten WON'T be there.
