She has the best species, such as Sugar Dragon, which bares fruit that is out of this world. A juicy sweet flavor explosion.

I visited Eli's Farms years ago and recently found their new location while visiting a friend. It's…read morea family-owned farm with a big selection of fruits and vegetables. The products are fresh, all natural, and of course, locally grown. The staff was helpful, and I learned they don't use harmful chemical pesticides or fertilizers, which is a huge plus. The farm stand is a nice size, shaded from the sun, with beautiful views of the Fallbrook hills. Peaceful too! I purchased a few jars of fresh honey and a sourdough loaf, the honey on toasted sourdough was a delicious treat. I also picked up some crisp green beans. They had a variety of seasonal fruits and vegetables, all of which looked fresh and beautifully grown. I'll be back when I need more fruits and vegetables. They now offer a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription too. I'm looking forward to trying one, since I already get a CSA box from a nearby farm. They offer both delivery and pick-up options. If you appreciate fresh produce, definitely make a stop!

A hidden gem and one of the best family experiences around!…read more We had an absolutely amazing time at Sumnist Tangerine Farm and will definitely be coming back. For just $25, you get a bag that you can fill with whatever is in season. During our visit, we picked tangerines, oranges, lemons, and limes, but they have a great variety depending on the time of year. The orchard is huge, and one of my favorite parts was the owner's philosophy: everything you can eat while you're on the property is included. We definitely took advantage of that and enjoyed fresh fruit right off the trees. It doesn't get any fresher than that! The property is beautiful, the parking was easy, and the whole experience was relaxing and family-friendly. We saw plenty of families with strollers, and the walking paths were wide enough to navigate comfortably. Just keep in mind that much of the orchard is on a hillside, so I highly recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes for better footing and to protect your feet. One tip: their hours are limited (I believe they're only open on Saturdays and Sundays), so I'd recommend arriving early, especially on warmer days. You'll beat the heat, have the best selection of fruit, and enjoy the orchard before it gets busy. This is so much more than just buying fruit--it's an experience. We'll absolutely be bringing our friends and family back because it was such a fun way to spend the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh citrus, beautiful scenery, and a memorable outing!

They have a small playground for the kids as well so you can take your family there for a nice picnic. It is a very safe and family oriented place. Would recommend this place to everyone to come have fun and support local farmers.

Did I mention you can even use it in any of your natural skin care recipe that calls for olive oil? I tried some of Pitchouline's skin care products and they are amazing. My husband always tries to steal my face cream. Did I mention the Olive Oil bottle is absolutely beautiful? You can leave it on the kitchen countertop like I do (see picture). The ranch is absolutely beautiful and the owners are the nicest, most welcoming people I have ever met. I had never been to Fallbrook before. I was driving from Temecula, heading back to LA and decided to take a country road detour with my family through Fallbrook and found Pitchouline. They are the reason I moved to the country. I had no idea what a beautiful setting this was. Majestic oaks everywhere, a creek running through the entire property, olive trees for days and owners that greet you with a big smile every time you come. I heard they are doing weddings...too bad I am already married. I would have loved to get hitched in such a beautiful setting.

I was looking for new pumpkin patches to visit this year, and this one popped up on my IG feed…read more Since it was only about an hour away from San Diego, I decided to take a little drive and listen to spooky stories along the way! Admission to the pumpkin patch was free, and so was parking, so you really can't beat that. I went right when they opened on the weekend to beat the crowd, and it was totally worth it. The staff were so nice and welcoming, and the whole atmosphere was super relaxed and family-friendly. The pumpkin patch itself was adorable and had tons of pumpkins to choose from. There is ample room for the children to run around. There was also face painting for them as well. They also had a few local vendors selling treats. I grabbed some salty popcorn and kettle corn (both delicious!) and treated myself to a red sangria that was just as good. Overall, I had a lot of fun here, and it was definitely worth the drive. I wouldn't mind coming back, maybe next time in the evening to enjoy the sunset vibes. I also learned that this winery turns their pumpkin patch into a tree farm for the winter season, so I'm hoping when that happens, they'll have their hard cider available for purchase!

The entire process was magical, and we can't thank the entire staff of the Vineyard enough. We will always be big fans and can't recommend them any more highly. This is a very special place.
