About Nopalito Farm

I absolutely LOVE visiting and supporting our local farmers who in my opinion, are doing very important work.  Eating organic, local, seasonal food is in deep rhythm with what our bodies need.

I had the pleasure of touring and staying at Nopalito Farms for two days during our very warm winter of 2026. They have a few great offerings to the public which include staying in one of their Hip Camp cabins, U-Pick fruits, U-Pick flowers or tours of their farm!

The farm was founded in 2015 by the Brownwood family.  Both brothers, their partners and their parents have lovingly tending this property into what we see today.

They currently grow avocados, figs, oranges, blood oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, kumquats, multiple varieties of guava, pomegranate, mulberry, passion fruit, stone fruit, and even ice cream bean trees!  Surplus harvests are shared with food banks and mutual aid organizations, while much of their produce is served at beloved local spots like Callie, Mesa Agricola, Wayfarer Bread, New Wave Bagel, and Tribute Pizza. Cut flowers they grow include protea varieties, leucadendron and waxflower.

Stay

Communal kitchen

Nopalito Farm is the perfect escape for retreats, workshops, and gatherings. A communal outdoor kitchen, pizza oven, bathrooms, and an off-grid solar system create the perfect farm stay experience.

Conservation

Beyond the orchards, the farm is deeply rooted in ecological stewardship. Over the past two years, 500 native plants have been added through grant-funded restoration projects in partnership with the local Resource Conservation District.

Chaparral species, wildlife corridors, hedgerows, and windbreaks create habitat for native pollinators and wildlife, all while improving soil health and sequestering carbon. 

Seasonally, visitors can enjoy U-Pick fruit and flowers, harvesting protea, wax flower, leucadendron, and citrus straight from the source. Ready-made bouquets are also available through pop-ups at local bakeries and coffee shops throughout San Diego County.
