Giant Rooster


If there are fish caught on the line today you can bet there will be a "FRESH FISH" sign hanging in front of this farm. You see Windmill Farms is owned by a fisherman. This charming two story barn in Arroyo Grande offers the country city gals gourmet jams, kitchen kitsch and packaged foods. Beautifully displayed is an extensive line of vintage replica depression glass bedazzling in a rainbow of colors. A sunny succulent plant nursery and petting zoo will keep the gardener and rambunctious child busy. This time of year Christmas trees are adorned with handmade ornaments and the aroma of cinnamon cider fills the air. Almost forgot to mention they have the "BEST FRESH EGGS" and the "BIGGEST ROOSTER" who rules this roost!

Avila Valley Barn


It's a fruit stand. No, it's a farm. No, it's a petting zoo. Really,... it's a gold mine! The Avila Valley Barn is all these things and more. What began in 1985 as a simple home grown veggie stand has blossomed into the funnest kid pleasing place around. Barns filled with yummy eats: BBQ corn, homemade fudge, sandwiches, pies, ice cream and lots and lots of pickled, fresh and canned veggie concoctions. Things your grandma used to love to make! Grab a bag of animal food and feed the baby goats, calfs, donkeys, or llamas. Ok, raise your hands, I mean hooves, if you're up for some spumoni ice cream!
