Charan Springs Farm is 124 acres of rugged terrain forged into a picturesque, San Luis Obispo County Certified Organic Farm. We grow five varieties of avocados and an assortment of healthy, succulent produce. Our unique location between the damp coastal fog and the searing inland heat graces us with one of the longest growing seasons in North America. Charan Springs Farm is renowned for our salad mix, avocados, and vegetables which are available at regional farmers' markets, local grocery stores, restaurants, and by mail-order.

The rolling hills of Cambria, California, offer one of the finest Mediterranean climates in North America. Though we are situated north of the 32nd parallel, in this diverse agricultural community we are able to produce avocados, grapes and a variety of fruits and vegetables. During the winter, we offer crops of peas, squash, and avocados that are shipped worldwide.

FARMSTAY CABINS AVAILABLE

Come experience exclusive, rustic get-aways to lose yourself into the farm's natural beauty. The creeks which run year-round offer vigorous hiking opportunities or can lull you to sleep during a hot afternoon while being cooled by wispy tradewinds from the coast.

Charan Springs Farm was founded by Michael Limacher in July 1976. Nestled in the craggy hills five miles from the Pacific Ocean in Cambria, California, the future farm was an abandoned, industrial site virtually devoid of vegetation.

For the next 20 years, Michael allowed most of the terrain to return to its natural state, especially around the creeks. He has been able to construct buildings and roads, and the rich organic soil has yielded bountiful crops. The result -- a vibrant, thriving organic farm!
