Farms Near Paso Robles, CA

Paso Robles

happy eden farmers It all began when our Grandpa led us to farm on Mt. Olive in 1992. Our vision has always been to farm organically without using chemicals and toxins or anything harmful to the environment. As Christians we believe that farming is not backwards, but the most advanced and meaningful way of life. That's because when God created the heavens and the earth, He placed man in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it. That was man's first occupation. Not only do our plants and animals th

Paso Robles Farmers Market operates in Central Coast wine country, a region better known for vineyards than produce stands. Current schedule and vendor information weren't confirmed online at the time of this listing.

Paso Robles

Kiler Ridge grows seven Italian olive varieties across roughly 15 hand-tended acres on Paso Robles' westside, hand-harvesting and cold-pressing the fruit within hours to produce certified extra virgin olive oil. The California Olive Oil Council has certified their Tuscan-style oils, which have picked up international awards. Visitors can book a tasting or a farm tour to see the mill and orchard firsthand; reservations are recommended for both.

Paso Robles

Chanticleer is a three-room bed and breakfast built into an eight-acre sustainable vineyard on Paso Robles' west side. Each guest room has a fireplace, en-suite bath, and in-room coffee; select suites open onto private patios facing the vines. Mornings start with a locally sourced breakfast before guests walk to nearby Doce Robles Winery or head into downtown Paso Robles for tastings. The property sits on 20 acres and stays small and quiet rather than resort-style.

Paso Robles

Central Coast Lavender Farm grows lavender on Northstar Lane in Paso Robles, in the same rolling hill country that produces the region's wine grapes.

A garden or small-farm operation on San Marcos Road with little independent presence online beyond its listing — the name suggests a family-run produce plot rather than a commercial destination farm. Worth confirming current status directly.

Paso Robles

Dunning Vineyards has estate-grown wine on its Willow Creek District hillside since 1991, one of the smaller family operations on Paso Robles' west side. The lineup covers Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, a Meritage blend, and Chardonnay, all handled in small lots rather than mass production. The tasting room is pet-friendly and by appointment on weekdays, with a guest villa on-site for visitors who want to stay through a full tasting weekend.

Visits and club membership run through their site.

Chesebrough Farm runs as a working cattle ranch outside Templeton the rest of the year, then opens every October for pumpkins.

Cayucos Farmers' Market runs Friday mornings, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from Memorial Day through Labor Day, on the empty lot beside the Old Cayucos Tavern at the corner of D and Ocean. It's a short season by design, a beach-town summer market, not a year-round operation. The Cayucos Chamber runs a booth alongside the farm and craft vendors.

Cambria

Dragon Spring Farm sits along Santa Rosa Creek Road outside Cambria, in the coastal hill country between the Santa Lucia Range and the Pacific. The area's cool marine air and creek-fed soil support small orchards, vineyards, and pasture operations typical of this stretch of San Luis Obispo County. No further confirmed details on crops or visiting hours.

McCall Farm's bed and breakfast occupies a farmhouse built in 1885, set on 20 private acres of fruit trees and garden plots about 15 minutes from the village of Cambria. Guests staying there can pick apples, avocados, plums, peppers, and tomatoes straight from the grounds, depending on season. It's lodging first, working farm second — the produce is a guest perk, not a farm stand.

Cambria

San Luis Obispo

The Saturday market in the World Market/Embassy Suites lot on Madonna Road is the largest of the five certified markets the San Luis Obispo County Farmers' Market Association runs — more than 60 vendors in a tight 8 to 10:45 a.m. window. The association has operated since 1978 under one rule: farmers sell only what they grow, and prepared-food vendors sell only what they make. It's shorter and earlier than the famous Thursday night Downtown market.

San Luis Obispo

The Tuesday market at the SLO Grange runs 3 to 6 p.m., rain or shine, on Broad Street — smaller and more specialty-leaning than the county's big Saturday market on Madonna Road.
