Rent Morning Song Farm's farmhouse for the weekend

By | Uncategorized | No Comments


By October or so, we will finally be able to offer our little farmhouse for weekend farm experience rentals. It has 3 bedrooms (2 heated) with a total of 4 queen beds. We had always planned on doing this, but have had maintenance issues that needed addressing. We’re almost there! Feed the llamas, gather eggs, walk the miles of trails that cut through our farm. You’re far enough away from the city to actually see the stars!
One exit away from the Temecula vineyards and numerous golf destinations, there’s plenty to do for everyone. Temecula has a wonderful craft/food/farmer fair on Saturdays in the middle of their Old Town section of town. While you’re in Old Town check out Temecula Olive Oil Company’s tasting room. Farmers themselves, the olives for their oil is pressed from their own harvest. They actually have a CSA program just for their oil that may interest some of you.

There’s plenty of antique shops, candy stores, a magic store my own kids love, several restaurants, a Winchester Cheese store you won’t want to miss and lots more.

What's New, August 2008

We’re happily pumping from our new water source, the well we successfully drilled months ago is operational. Before we had over 30 valves to cover the east portion of the farm, now it’s down to 2 valves. Water pressure is outstanding! Work load is reduced! We’re giving our beautiful macadamia trees more water than they’ve ever had, and the crop looks excellent. We should begin harvest in earnest end of next month or early October.

The clunker of a Kabota tractor we inherited isn’t working yet, but we plan to get it fixed. I can’t believe how much even a used crummy tractor costs, so this one will have to be repaired. It looks more like it has more value as scrap than anything else, but we’ve been told it can be fixed. Meanwhile we rented a nice one from the rental yard and tilled the rented acreage next door for our winter plantings.

The summer has proved to be pleasant! No heat waves since May. Would love to invite interested parties to a weeding event end of August. E mail me at donna@morningsongfarm.com if you or your over-12 child would like to volunteer. We sure could use the help.
