A hidden gem and one of the best family experiences around!…read more We had an absolutely amazing time at Sumnist Tangerine Farm and will definitely be coming back. For just $25, you get a bag that you can fill with whatever is in season. During our visit, we picked tangerines, oranges, lemons, and limes, but they have a great variety depending on the time of year. The orchard is huge, and one of my favorite parts was the owner's philosophy: everything you can eat while you're on the property is included. We definitely took advantage of that and enjoyed fresh fruit right off the trees. It doesn't get any fresher than that! The property is beautiful, the parking was easy, and the whole experience was relaxing and family-friendly. We saw plenty of families with strollers, and the walking paths were wide enough to navigate comfortably. Just keep in mind that much of the orchard is on a hillside, so I highly recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes for better footing and to protect your feet. One tip: their hours are limited (I believe they're only open on Saturdays and Sundays), so I'd recommend arriving early, especially on warmer days. You'll beat the heat, have the best selection of fruit, and enjoy the orchard before it gets busy. This is so much more than just buying fruit--it's an experience. We'll absolutely be bringing our friends and family back because it was such a fun way to spend the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh citrus, beautiful scenery, and a memorable outing!

My first time going blueberry picking with my kids and friends was unfortunately not a good…read moreexperience. The pathway was full of rocks, which made it extremely difficult to push a stroller. I moved my stroller near the gate where the ground was smoother while waiting for my friends to buy buckets for us. One staff member came up to me and immediately told me I couldn't go in without a bucket. I politely explained that I was not entering yet, just waiting because the rocky path was very hard for my stroller, and my friends were buying the buckets for me. Instead of explaining the rules kindly, she spoke to us with attitude and embarrassed us in front of everyone. The whole line was looking at us, and it felt very uncomfortable. She was impatient and rude instead of simply explaining the rules nicely to first-time visitors. We didn't know that each person needed their own bucket, and we also didn't know group picking was not allowed. That could have been explained respectfully. Customer service is not just about enforcing rules -- it's also about treating customers with kindness and patience. What disappointed me the most was how her attitude suddenly changed after I told my friend she was not friendly at all. Then she started smiling and acting nicer to the next guests. First-time customers who don't know the rules deserve clear explanations, not embarrassment and attitude.

A place for U-pick fanatics like myself. If you love picking your own fruits and you like persimmon…read morethis is yours place in Pauma Valley, CA They charge $1.25lbs for Fuyu persimmon, which is a good price. This is a private mom & pops farm and they provide buckets and clippers as well. If you rather not pick your own fruits they have fruits stand with already picked fruits you can purchased. Their fruit stand consist of lime, naval oranges, persimmon, grapefruits, the hard to find blanca sapote. Which if you've never had it, you must let it sit on the counter until it's ripe and soften to eat. They're sweet and custardy and I've never found them in supermarkets. You must go early October- early November. By mid November their persimmons are already picked cleaned or too high up to pick. We do love walking the farm and taking photos. The family also have dogs and they are dogs friendly. They even offered my dog, Peanut a dog treat but we kept our dog in the car most of the time. They do allow dogs on leashes and you must pick up after your dogs. On one side of the farm they also have jujube and another type of persimmon. Must ask before picking these. We will always return to this farm year after year. Thank you for your hospitality and great service Bar 2 Ranch family!!

Blue Barn Lavender Farm is truly a beauty. The fields are absolutely stunning, rows upon rows of…read morevibrant purple lavender that look gorgeous against the sunlit hillside. 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.

I'm being generous with the number of stars because the person managing the property was very kind…read moreand great at communicating, and the house overall was nice enough. I especially appreciated what seemed like local art being used throughout the entire house to tastefully decorate -- without going overboard with clutter. That was well done. But, netting out at almost $800/night increases expectations and so it probably deserves more like 3 or 3-1/2 stars. It was a 3 bedroom home and was ok -- nothing fancy or high-end. So maybe the cost was based on the size? Importantly, what we really believed we were paying extra for that would have been worth the money was the "farm stay" aspect. It may have been a house on a farm property, but it was not a "farm stay experience." The only thing that came close were the animals, but their enclosures were small, cramped, on the side of the road (which was steep and hard to walk on), and the animals did not look healthy or well taken care of. The alpaca's fur was matted up and many of the chickens had bald spots on their backs, potentially due to overcrowding, rooster overbreeding, or aggressively going after each other in such a small space for so many hens (and hopefully not from parasites). It was a side show vs. a real farm experience. Back to the house, another attraction in the listing was the hot tub -- but it had a really horrible smell. The towels we used to dry off with kept the smell too. We used it on the first day, but not afterward. It's a shame. If the hot tub issue were fixed, the property is nice enough, but I do believe it is mis-marketed. It'd probably be very appealing for a bigger group who is visiting the Temecula wine country scene, but who doesn't want to be in the middle of the fray and, instead, wants a quieter location that feels off the beaten path. It should not be marketed as a "farm stay." And the poor animals should definitely go, especially as they feel like such an after thought on the property anyhow.

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.

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.
