I've visited over the years during their June U-Pick weekends and I am always instantly taken in by the sight (and scent!) of endless rows of blooming lavender. 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! read more
