Key Crest Lavender Farm



We went to the Keys Creek Lavender Farm today in Valley Center.  It's near the Mt Palomar Observatory, but we will save that trip for another adventure.  Since we went on a weekday we had the entire place to ourselves.

Lavender Farm Store & Distillery
They had many fields of lavender and walkways among the lavender fields, but truth be told, I was not that impressed.  It was beautiful and we had a nice time walking & talking with Mike & San, but I am glad it was free!

 The best part was the lunch at the Yellow Deli owned by the Morning Star Ranch/Twelve Tribes Commune. Their farm was right next store to the lavender farm and the deli was right down the road.  We had a great lunch sitting outside under the California Oak trees with a nice breeze.
