They even have some exotic items like ostrich eggs! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Sadly, when I got home, I noticed my $18 bag of camel jerky had a hole in it, so I couldn't eat that and I live 40 minutes away so unfortunately I didn't get to try that. Otherwise, the place is great!

After multiple drives by returning from the San Diego Safari Park, I FINALLY found an opportunity…read moreto drop by here with friends. I was craving a ice cream bar, specifically a fruit bar of sorts and what better than grabbing one from here?! It was the most delicious strawberry fruit bar I've ever had and I can't wait to grab another during the summer/whenever we are in the area again. They had quite the wide variety of fruit, vegetables, honey and jerky. I also grabbed a bag of persimmons on the way out and demolished that bag within a week. Service wasn't too bad and pretty quick in checking out. There was a 50 cents charge for using credit card, as cash is king. However I ended up not having enough (because I used it on something else) and ended up using card. Definitely will drop by again, just unsure when that will be!

I actually bought this honey to wash my face with because I have heard raw honey helps with acne…read more My cousin washes her face with this every morning and evening and it completely cleared up her acne, so I thought I'd give it a shot. The main reason i wanted to right this review though is because i recently had to have a spot that looked like skin cancer on my back removed and the instructions to take care of it were to cleanse and put Vaseline and a new bandage on it twice a day. Of course, it got infected after about a week and a half even though I was following the instructions (telling someone to put Vaseline on that kind of wound to heal is dumb anyway and should not have followed that). I'm not prone to getting infections in cuts and what not and usually heal pretty quickly so I was surprised. When I called the dermatologist they told me I had to take antibiotics. I don't feel that antibiotics are always necessary for an infection and decided to try to heal this by myself first and if absolutely necessary turn to antibiotics. I decided to put the raw honey on it after I cleansed, it actually has almost the exact same texture as Vaseline and after about an hour of it being on it started to feel itchy and like it was healing. I woke up the next morning and it already looked so much better. I'm on day three of doing this and it looks like it is almost healed. This honey has basically healed and cured an infection which is amazing and I believe that this product actually has all the enzymes, vitamins, and antibacterial properties it says it has. I'm truly impressed!

Bates Nut Farm is definitely a drive from Chula Vista, but it's a fun seasonal family outing around…read moreHalloween! It's a huge open farm with a country store selling local nuts, candy, snacks, and must-get fudge. They also had several food trucks which is good, but a little pricey. My biggest complaint is the ticket system. Want to go down the slide once? Ticket. Petting zoo? More tickets. Pony ride? More tickets. Hayride? Yep, more tickets. You wait in a long line just to buy tickets, then another line for each activity, and it adds up FAST. I really wish they offered an unlimited or bundled activity pass. That being said, my son absolutely loved the petting zoo. Lots of friendly animals you can feed, and the hayride around the pumpkin patch was another favorite. Overall, it can get expensive, but it's still a really fun Halloween tradition with the kids!

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!
