The vibrant color and soothing scent are instantly relaxing. So many soothing benefits. The farm is beautifully maintained, and there's something special about breathing in the fresh lavender-scented air while wandering through the fields. There are bees, as to be expected (lol), but that's something to keep in mind. They also offer quality lavender products (like soaps, lotions, and oils) that make perfect gifts or personal treats. These can easily be ordered online as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Whether you're stopping by for photos, to shop, or simply to enjoy a peaceful afternoon surrounded by blooming lavender, it's a wonderful experience. For the You-Pick Event, admission is $30 per group (As of 06/30/2025), which includes time on the farm and a tube to fill with lavender, no matter the size of your group. Extra tubes are $10. If you don't want to pick, you can use your admission toward $30 worth of farm-made lavender products. Either way, it's a win-win. If you missed their You-Pick Event, don't worry, they often extend the dates, like they did this year! Lavender typically blooms from mid-June to mid-July, so be sure to check their website. Use the directions provided on their website; they're simple to follow, and watch for the signage too. Also, note that the road is unpaved in parts, so drive with a bit more caution.

On their website they give multiple directions, including one with least amount of dirt roads. I…read moreexpected it to be off the beaten path, but was worth it. Its the experience I was looking for, not simply just seeking lavender. Overall Loved it, crowd was very low key. Beautiful views, there were picnick tables. For me it was worth the 30 admission for a group, their page literally says "A group is anyone who comes with you 2 or 20," and includes time here on the farm and a tube to use to fill with lavender. I got a decent amount of lavender, looks like 500 or so stems. The young man inside was a fellow USD alumni always cool run into a fellow Torrero. The lavender is organic, so safe make things with. Fun activity. Their shop had lavender soaps, spritz, balms, masks and sachets among options to buy. Based on the experience definitely worth the 30 admission, getting lost, and picking lavender.

This year both our bigs did the "haunted maze" and it was worth $3 per person to hear our oldest scream at every jump scare.

This year they added more to their photo op on the back end with a saddle for the kids to sit on, a bounce house, a food vendor as well as face painting. We explored further this time and crossed over the bridge to check out the old oak tree and took the time to get some cool pics!

I love the variety of produce and truly appreciate the website with info about what's in the box and produce ID photos. The first pickup I looked inside the box and thought....uh, what are those?? It's been fun learning about new produce I would never go out and buy and it's really gotten me cooking a lot more so I don't let all this goodness go to waste. I feel great supporting local farms as well, so it's a win win. Only reason for one star off was that in one box I had a moldy pomegranate and another time a zucchini that had seen better days...but all in all the produce is typically fresh and delicious!

Delicious goat cheese from a small Family Farm…read more I opted for the tour, cheese tasting and petting "zoo", $15 well worth it. You can see the petting zoo and goats from the road. There's parking next to the property or all along the road. I was greeted by a big friendly Pyrenees, then I couldn't resist and instantly made my way to go pet all the lovely goats. All the staff here were very friendly, and everyone seems to be having a good time. Dr. Dan then greeted us, and our tour started. It's clear Dr. Dan is very passionate about goats and cheesemaking. The farm is very clean, and the goats are very well taken care of. Our tour took us through a big portion of the facility, including where the goats are milked, and the cheese is made. We got to see several variety of goats, and of course, the adorable baby goats. Our tour ended with an incredibly delicious sampling of cheese! Each one was delicious and it was hard to choose a favorite. After we made our choices, we were able to purchase, and they even had other goat products, such as soaps, lotions, and even lip balm, I picked up a really nice set. I made my purchases and then couldn't resist, but I had to go back and pet all the goats!! You can purchase their products online, however going to the farm is A Wonderful experience that I would definitely recommend. Tip: take a cooler with an ice pack so you can keep your products cool while you linger around the property or run errands afterwards.

Stopped by after learning they are being forced to move. I have been meaning to stop by for YEARS…read moreand now I knew I must before I missed my chance. It is not a huge farm. The goats were in a shaded, gated area for "petting". I enjoyed conversation and petting the sweet goats. I bought 4 varieties of their goat cheese, charcoal lavender goats milk soap and some lip moisturizer. Sad to see them go. Being forced out after 14 years is terrible. This area used to be full of farms. Now it is crappy houses and crappy industrial complexes and crappy humans.

I had such a fun time at Peltzer Pumpkin Farm this past weekend! September 19th marked thei 30…read moreyears of pumpkins and 10 years of wine, so it was a really fun weekend to visit. We got there around 6:30 just before sunset and there was a good amount of people and families, but it never felt too overwhelming. Parking was pretty efficient. We did notice another lot closer to the pumpkin patch, but the walk from where we parked was only about five minutes so it really wasn't bad. I loved the decorations and overall layout of the farm. Admission into the pumpkin farm is $4 Friday through Sunday and $2 Monday through Thursday, which I thought was pretty reasonable. There was a lot going on around the property with different activities, food, drinks, and even live music. I tried their Killer Marg and it was soooo delicious. It had a really fresh citrusy flavor where you could actually taste the fruit. I do wish there were a few more dedicated photo ops throughout the pumpkin patch because I think that would add even more to the experience, especially around sunset. Besides that, there was plenty to walk around and see. Coming right before sunset was also such a good choice because the farm looked so pretty as the sun was going down. Overall, such a cute fall activity and I would definitely come back!

There are tons of photo opportunities throughout the pumpkin patch, which I loved. There are also carnival-style games, a train ride, and pony rides, so there's definitely enough to keep the kids entertained. Train ride: 6 tickets per person Pony ride: 10 tickets per person There are also carnival games that require tickets. The biggest downside for me was the food selection. There really wasn't a lot offered when we went -- basically kettle corn was the main food option we saw. I was expecting more fall/pumpkin-patch food choices, especially for the price of admission and activities. Prices: Most activities are an additional ticket cost, so the total can add up quickly depending on how many activities you do. Parking: Parking is available on-site, which made bringing the kids pretty convenient. Overall, I'd give it 3.5/5. I'd still recommend it for families who want cute fall pictures, carnival games, a train ride, and pony rides, but I'd definitely eat beforehand or plan on having another meal afterward because the food options are limited.

If you have some time to spare, they wouldn't mind giving you a tour around their gardens, letting you pick and try the fruits fresh off the branches, & they'd love to get to know you. 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.

I've never been here before. My wife's friends have been here and that's how we found out about it…read more Driving by it doesn't look like somewhere I'd go because it's a below average quality building at the edge of Hemet... but going in everyone there was nice and it wasn't a bad place at all. Their produce is fresh and they grow it. We bought the strawberries. I asked them if it was regular or organic. He asked me what I call organic. With that I mentioned no pesticides. He said the strawberries get some when they are flowers but not when they have strawberries or else their would be no crop. So that seems good with me here.. remember strawberries are apart of the dirty dozen (aka conventionally high pesticides) A positive to fresh produce is higher nutrients. After food is picked it begins losing its nutritional value depending on storage and type. In an ideal situation you pick it and eat right after (within 15min as an example)... These strawberries are delicious. They're also softer than I expected. You can bite them in half and crush it with your tongue alone. Different taste than what I usually eat at sprouts. Except organic at sprouts is almost $5 we paid $8 for the 3 baskets. The (organic) strawberries at sprouts are more sour these are sweeter. Pretty good.. I on the first day I solo'd a basket and a half thinking to finish the other tonight possibly.

Prices are very reasonable, and the fruits and vegetables are always fresh. Everything is nice and orderly and there's plenty of room to move around, although it does get a little busy in there, but that's a good thing. The produce doesn't have time to sit around and go bad. And another good thing is the produce changes with the seasons. Days and hours may vary so call ahead of time and check, bon appétit!
