Cute spot with the winery & a Christmas market but poor selection of cut your own Christmas trees…read more It was also pricey at $20/ft, but most of their trees were either massive or tiny, so we ended up leaving without a tree.

I never knew that San Diego had Christmas Tree Farms so, of course, I had to check it out!…read more I was in between a couple, but saw that this one had a winery on site & I was sold. Make sure to check their hours because some days are reserved for advance reservations & they do stop selling on a certain date. They had 2 types of trees, ones that shred & ones that do not. It is a big lot so you can roam around & choose your favorite one. Grab a pole which is marked by feet & get it cut! $20/feet.

Be Wise Ranch is by far the best experience I've had with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)…read more Years ago we were Suzie's Farm CSA devotees until they closed, and then we tried Farm Fresh to You (definitely NOT fresh!) and were a bit burned out on it. But, based on the great reviews here, in April I decided to give Be Wise a try for CSA. Initially, it took about a month to get my application processed, but after that, everything has been smooth sailing! We have an every-other-week subscription and I am always so impressed with the freshness and quality of the produce. CLEAN and CRISP spring mix, ripe peaches, the tastiest strawberries that you've ever eaten! And potatoes to die for! Yes, even something as simple as the humble potato can be a thing of glory when it is FRESH and roasted with tasty butter and herbs! Out of this world taste! I love that we can support a LOCAL family run-business, enjoy vitamin-packed ORGANIC produce and have a smaller ecological footprint than using the plastic-wrapped dead produce at the grocery store. Thanks Be Wise!

What a cute patch! We had a group of about 30 who met on a Sunday morning at 9am when it opened and…read moreit was perfect. It wasn't too hot or crowded. An hour later around 10am was when it started to get busy. It's a smaller patch so a couple hours is doable if you have small kiddos. There's a barn to buy your pumpkins, a corn maze ($5pp), corn blaster ($1 per shot), petting zoo (free), and some small booths of food and small trinkets. Our group had a lot of fun for the 2 hours we were there. There is a huge rock display where the kids climb and great photo ops. This patch was quite a distance from Mira Mesa (40-45 mins) but since we left early in the morning, there was no traffic and ample parking. Parking is free and lots available.

The GPS kept re-routing me to volcan, but if you continue straight rather than taking a left onto farmer road, continue straight ahead past volcan and you will see farmer road continued and take a right there. The entrance of the location is the 3rd driveway off of farmer road. My friend had organized an event here for a group of ~20 people and they accommodated our group and were so friendly! I like how each group gets their own booking time and you get a private experience. We got to try the apple cider that they make, a several variety of apples, honey and take home some bags of tea. The owners gave a great educational overview of the types of apples, the farm, and how they take care of the trees here. They also had some other fruits including plums and persimmons that were absolutely delicious. They had a unique variety of apples called russet apples which look like russet potatoes but they taste so sweet and I think this was my favorite apple to try! The gift shop here is adorable and their Jams specifically the apricot jasmine and strawberry rose taste SOOO GOOD and are a must to get! There is also a bathroom here which is really clean. Overall they are an amazing place to go to, well priced, and very friendly! Def would be back

It was by far lower then those numbers. I was very surprised that NO SIGNS were displayed at any major intersections leading to the pumpkin patch. $50 Per Day for a Craft Fair is on the higher end, but at a location with high foot traffic and promotion it's worth it. Neither of those simple expectations were present at this sale. No promotion of a Fair with leading signs displayed, minimal social presentation and very very low traffic. Disappointing. I would hope this business finds this as a learning curve for the next Craft Sale or Vendor Sale. These are small family businesses and $100 for a weekend is a lot. Take Care!

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!

We came on an industry tour and it was a crazy big group. When we got there they had a couple stands with local vendors selling products. They also had some produce and dips to sample. A while later the tour starts. You get to walk all around the farm, hear how they plant their produce and you still get to pick your own clamshell of strawberries! It ends with a lunch that they make with produce from JR. I will say the lunch was good but definitely different from the vegan one we had a year ago. But very understandable since they had so many more people to feed this time. Mike led the tour and he was great! A seasoned pro and was not at all bothered having to lead such a large group.
