Escondido

George Hillebrecht bought his first parcel of the ranch in Escondido in 1924, and continued to buy adjoining parcels as he could afford them, until he had 150 acres. His parents were citrus farmers from Orange County, and he chose this area because the land was affordable and they had a promising source of local water. George planted valencia oranges and lemons from his own nursery, and later planted fuerte avocados. He retired in the mid 50’s and his son Ben, Laura’s father, continued planting

Escondido

Be Wise Ranch has grown certified organic produce in the Santa Fe Valley, eight miles east of San Diego, since 1977 — founder Bill Brammer helped draft the state and federal legislation defining organic standards during his term as CCOF president. The coastal microclimate allows year-round growing of nationally known vine-ripe heirloom tomatoes, strawberries, squash, and greens, sold wholesale and through a CSA delivering weekly boxes to pickup points across San Diego County.

Temecula

La Jolla

Valley Farm Market has been San Diego's neighborhood market since 1956, with three generations of butchers hand-selecting and custom-cutting meat — no pre-packaged compromises. The La Jolla-area stores pair the butcher case with seafood, local produce, a service deli, and full catering, from party platters to BBQ smoked meats.

La Jolla

The La Jolla Open Aire Market is unlike most farmers markets: every dollar of proceeds benefits La Jolla Elementary, funding its library, art, music, and smaller class sizes since the market's founding by a school parent in 1998. Now over 120 vendors strong, it runs Sundays 9 AM to 1 PM at Girard Avenue and Genter Street with fresh produce, prepared food, artisans, complimentary golf-cart rides, and even free dog sitting.
