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!

The drive to the farm was easy on a dirt road once you're on Avenida Del Oro, go through the entrance gate to the paved parking lot. You'll see the owner, Mr. Yu hanging out at the tables. He scanned our Groupon and gave us each a bag. Said no rules, we can go anywhere on the property. Also gave us a small bottle of freshly juiced OJ. I had my elderly mom with me and Mr. Yu suggested that we drive back out near the front entrance where the grounds are level. Otherwise, it would be too steep for my mom. I'm so glad he suggested this because we didn't have to hike up a slope, not many people come this way so there were many large tangerines up for grabs! Tips: -Sun hat -Sunscreen -Sunglasses -gloves -Closed toe shoes (slippery when wet) -Tools for easy snipping or to grab the ones up high -Gently twist, don't pull the fruit -You can sample while you pick! -Clean restrooms -pay at the end Over 35 acres of tangerines, the very top of the hill are avocados, the trees in front of the parking lot are lemons and on the other side are blueberries. The video you see on You Tube or their website is outdated. They do not have a restaurant or wedding area but they are working on rebooting this. The tangerines are so juicy with a mix of sweet and sour. They have limited hours on Saturday and Sunday only from 10-2. The Groupon deal asked for reservations. I wasn't a fan of this just because things could change so I sent an email asking how strict and got an automatic reply, same as the last with a form to fill out reservations. I wish it was more personable. When I got there, he only cared about scanning the Groupon. So I don't think they are strict if you were to just show up without a reservation. Be on the lookout for snakes!!! Stick to the trees that you can clearly see through the branches. Avoid the ones that are all bushy as if something could be hidden there. My mom saw a snake coiled up on the branch when she was about to stick her hand through.

I stop weekly to purchase multiple bouquets for my mother. She loves sunflowers and as long as she waters them, they will last for a few weeks. They are some of the largest sunflowers, nothing like you find in the stores. They sell beautiful roses and assorted arrangements as well. During the various holidays, they have holiday arrangements and they are so vibrant and festive. Sometimes they will have fresh produce such as watermelon or other locally sourced fruit, but not often. If they do, buy it, try it because it's fresh and flavorful. They accept cash and Venmo! There is a cash box to leave your money in case an employee isn't working directly at the stand to take your payment.

Guests are invited to walk through the fields ($5) with a basket and scissors in hand to cut their own bundles ($10). It's simple, peaceful, and genuinely therapeutic. The farm also grows eucalyptus and protea, adding even more texture and color to the entire experience. In addition to the picking, the event has a small festive vibe with local vendors, live music, and food trucks. Whether you're grabbing a cold drink, shopping handmade goods, or just enjoying the music under the beautiful trees, there is something for everyone. The whole setting is incredibly photogenic too, especially in the afternoon light. This venue is both family- and dog-friendly. Admission is only $5 and includes parking, making it a very affordable outing. They sell lavender by the bundle, so you can take home as much (or as little) as you'd like. Just a heads-up: the farm is on a windy/country road, and cell reception is limited, so it's best to plan ahead and download directions before you go. Also, wear good walking shoes and bring sunscreen, it gets warm out there! There are tons of bees, so 'bee' respectful of them. What makes this place extra special is the story behind it. Daily Blooms is run by the grandchildren of Helen Daily, and you can feel the love and pride they've poured into restoring and maintaining this beautiful land. The property is gorgeous and full of charm and character. Also, make sure to check out their storefront in Fallbrook! A must!

Keep in mind that De Luz Road is a super winding curvy road. Go slow and take a motion sickness pill if you're sensitive! We came during their 3rd annual Lavender Festival. They had olive oil, honey, small vendors and few food trucks with live music. Parking: -Free -Plan to get there early for parking to park inside the small lot. -If you arrive later and see cars parked on the side of the road, just follow suit and park behind them. Chances are, the lot inside is already full. -Once cars are parked on the road, this narrow road becomes a one way road and one car can fit at a time. If you drive towards the entrance, someone may be exiting but then one of you will have to yield. Tips: -Go early for parking (read above) -Bring hat, water, sun screen, sunglasses -Plenty of grass area to bring blankets and chairs -Lots of shade in the grass from trees or under the dining tent with tables. -Besides the lavender farm, there are other garden areas with lovely flowers and random swings and hammocks. -U-pick is $25 for 2 bunches. They give you scissors and a basket. -Bees are attracted to lavender. It's what gives that lavender scent. There are A LOT of bees. -Wear close toed shoes unless you don't mind the dirt or getting stab from the dry leaves and mulch. -Don't get confused with Farm address versus store address in downtown Fallbrook on S Main Ave. When you walk in, you are greeted and asked if you want to pick lavender. Then you are given a basket with scissors. You pay after you pick at another location. I love that the event is free with plenty of food options. Although I got prime parking, I wish they had a person to direct the one way traffic. As I was exiting, a vehicle was driving up towards the entrance. We both had no where to pull over to pass. I had 3 cars behind me. The other car, had to reverse backward. Then eventually pulled into a parallel spot which finally cleared the road.

Total: $14.40 Pros - Fun unique outing opportunity! - Friendly, informative, and welcoming hosts. - A variety of fruits/vegs (about a dozen types in October: radish, lettuce, cantaloupe, cucumber, carrot, pepper, watermelon, beet, squash, pumpkin, tomato, strawberries). - Fresh! The strawberries and tomatoes were delectably sweet and sour. - The farm is big enough to enjoy. No long lines. Pay everything including the parking fee at the end. Cons - Driving there, you may notice a couple CLOSED (on Sundays) signs. Turns out that's for the same-address Nursery. The U-Pick Farm's still open. I was about to turn back. lol - Only one porta potty. So if you're desperate and it's occupied... don't think about doing a fertilizing favor. - The sink by the porta potty is small and button-activated, so that's two flaws: 1) you need to touch the frequent-contact button as you wash your hands, which keeps your hand dirty, and 2) your knuckles rub against the dirty sink basin. - You can buy some of these cheaper at the local grocery store. So if you think about it, you come to the farm to pay MORE to do the work FOR them. It's funny. But yes, you're paying for the fun, the fruits' freshness, and the experience. - Kind of a long drive. Expect total 1-2 hr commute. You may want to bring an ice box. Neutral - Watermelon was refreshing, but the red/white ratio was not as big as I'd like. - The fruits are smaller than at the grocery store, but that's likely because they're natural and non-GMO. That is, the store's fruits are often bigger cuz they're genetically modified. - Most of the fruit/veg rows are labeled, but a few weren't, or weren't clearly labeled. - Too bad the corn wasn't in season.
