If you like Dragon Fruit Plants visiting El Creek Ranch is a must…read more Linda is a wonderful host, she always explains everything you need to know about dragon fruit plants. She has the best species, such as Sugar Dragon, which bares fruit that is out of this world. A juicy sweet flavor explosion. She also has the Nicaraguan red and purple flesh varieties that are only now becoming available in the United States. Whenever I visit I also buy twenty pounds or more of whatever variety of avocado that is in season at that time. I drive down from Los Angeles. I know there are many other growers in Fallbrook, but I find everything I need and want at Elk Creek. I have complete confidence in Linda.

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!

Although we showed up near "closing" time, we did not feel rushed. There were multiple families still picking and others just enjoying the park/shade area. For $20 to fill an 8lb bag, and no admission fee, we found it to be very much worth it. The trees are on a hill so there is a bit of a hike involved but we were aware of it ahead of time. Plan accordingly, bring proper shoes and water!

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.

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.
