Summary
Windrose is a small family farm located east of Paso Robles, near Creston, in San Luis Obispo County. Tucked in a unique valley of 50 acres, 12 are in vegetable rotations, 6 are in apples and stone fruit and 5 are sheep pasture. The rest is habitat - full of animal, bird and insect life who usually help them.
The farm is organic and certified with C.C.O.F. since August 1999, but is currently transitioning to biodynamic! In addition to tomatoes and potatoes, we grows onions, garlic, green and dry beans, peppers, eggplant, winter squash, carrots, turnips, beets, cucumbers, melons and many varieties of greens. We also produce apples and stone fruit.Our little valley is a unique micro-climate that is good for the diverse crops of lilacs, apples, super-sweet onions and melons.
In 1998 we began opening the farm two times a year for the Spring Open House in April and the Tomato Tasting the third week-end of September. What began as a way to say thank you to our friends and customers has evolved into a whole new focus for Windrose. We have always believed that this beautiful spot was more than just a "food machine" and should be shared with as many as possible.
We now offer camp sites, available upon request from April or so until the end of October for $20 per night.
