    This place is the BEST. It's a little hidden with limited parking, but it's such an awesome place. It's really easy to miss since it's just a small little driveway but the place is great. We came for blueberry picking and it was very toddler friendly! The blueberries were delicious. There's also a play area with a treehouse. We also tried a mulberry from the friendly gentleman at the booth and man, I'm hooked! My little toddler loves those things and so do I - I keep putting this place in my head cause I need a refill of those delicious berries! Also got a bag of avocados for $5 and man, these things are BEAUTIFUL. Had to wait a few days for them to ripen, but they are some of the best avocados we've had. Also for those people who don't prefer to deal with cash - they take Venmo!

    What a hidden treasure by the beach. Lots of delicious fresh fruits at a low cost. I got some passion fruits, avocados, grapefruit and nectarines. Everything so juicy and flavorful. I missed the mulberry season so I'll be back in spring!

    Organic hand picked by my family of Mulberries & Blueberries so delicious and tasted even better when u get to pick them fresh.

    Such a fun experience we had and worth the price @ $6 a container to fill so worth it.. we did mulberries and blueberries @ the time we went which was our fist time.. wasn't busy cuz it was peak heat time but made it more enjoyable with like maybe only 6 people picking @ the time we went. Will come back for other fruit when in season.. worth drive and will be coming back. There is a small farm stand with produce.. was limited but got some awesome plums that were left and were so sweet. Also my son loved the cool tree house . Thank you Lighthouse for a great experience and may God bless your farm with abundance. Worth all the sweat and laughter I had today with my family. Much perspective on how are food is grown and picked. :)

    Loved this sign  with my name

    What a wonderful little place this community garden is! We've gone to other "local" farms that are gouging customers but this place charges appropriately for organic produce. I bought blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, blueberry jam, and plums and all were delicious! During picking season, you can pick fresh organic blueberries kissed by the sun. As as added bonus, if you have kids with you, they will absolutely love the 'treehouse' on the farm, we stayed for another 30 minutes kids could play!!

    Blueberry picking

    Can't say enough good things about this garden. They have a very large blueberry patch which is more like tall bushes and you can get lost in them. My kids had a great time going deep into the blueberry forest and foraging for berries with their friends. What was supposed to be a 1 hour outing turned into 3 hours and I had to bribe them to leave. Icing on the cake is the authentic tree house that is actually built into a large old sturdy tree.

    Mulberry, avocado, peach jam

    The hill up to park is a little intimidating but gorgeous views with great service! Delicious mulberries, avocados, peach jam, honey and more. Thank you Robby for your help, will definitely visit again with family

    Tree house sooo cool!

    Ask the Community - Lighthouse Community Garden

    Hi. What fruits do you have in season right now for picking? We'll be visiting next week and I'd love to stop by. Thank you.

    Are you open on MLK day and are mulberries available during this season?

    I apologize for the delayed response. We are off season right now. Mulberries will be back in late spring. You can follow us on instragram for updates! God bless!

    Are there strawberries available today?

    I'm so sorry for the delayed response. We are a volunteer foundation & don't check Yelp very often. We are off season right now. Please check Instagram for updates. God bless!

    Are they open ? What are the hours?

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

The energy is spectacular. they have Friday night farm-to-table dinners, outdoor performances and live music, yoga and meditation in the dome, a market with all their produce and made on-site hot sauces and fermented items, and the star of the show: a regenerative organic farm (the only one in SoCal, might I add!) I came here for the strawberry picking experience and loved every second of it. Two minutes in, I was having so much fun! This space draws me close to what I want to be doing in this life. I'll absolutely be volunteering here and seeing what else will be added to such a beautiful place! I highly recommend the Ecology Center.

Apparently everything is from local small farms around San Diego and possibly a few things owner made. A lot of items didn't have pricing which for me prevented me from buying more but I actually just went shopping elsewhere before stopping in so I would've bought more. The fruit and veggies are not all nice and shinny like at the grocery stores, these items look to be straight from a farm imo. Don't expect to find everything in perfect shape or that you don't have to look through the fruits or veggies and if you know, you know! Their items were a bit high but it's worth it when it comes to our struggling farmers!!! I'll buy more from them from here & out.

They consistently carry some of the best-quality produce currently available from San Diego and the surrounding areas, thoughtfully curated with real care. Misses are rare, and when something isn't right, they always make it right. What really sets this place apart is the knowledgeable team. They can tell you not just what something is, but where it's from, why it's special, and even how best to prepare it if it's new to you. They know which watermelon varietals are sweetest (and why), which tomatoes are best for different uses, and how to guide you toward the best choice of the day. We also appreciate the simplicity of the space. It's clear the focus is on quality produce rather than unnecessary overhead or décor that doesn't add to flavor or nutrition. We come in knowing our weekly staples, and we always look forward to discovering a surprise treat or seasonal treasure to add to the basket. We recently lived in Spain for a year and deeply miss the fruterías found on every corner, places that genuinely support daily health and well-being. In the U.S., truly good produce can be harder to find, with so much emphasis on mass production and appearance over flavor and nutrition. The Fruit Stand comes as close as we've found to that European produce experience. We're grateful this place exists and grateful for the care they put into what they offer. Thank you for being here--and we'll see you next week.
