Summerset Farm
Summerset Farm in Santa Ynez, California, is the kind of place where a farm stand feels like a small celebration. You can hand-pick raspberries, strawberries, and apples, then browse shelves tucked with honey, homemade jams, sauces, and pickled veg. Honey is a real presence here, sold alongside the family jams and a shortbread you might have to try. The setting is bright and welcoming, right off the road, with a sunlit yard that even in summer invites a little wandering among blooms and pumpkins. Beyond honey and preserves, the family runs a lively on-site experience in Santa Ynez, with sunflowers in bloom, a pumpkin and gourds display for fall decorating, and a few extra treats that keep kids entertained. Buy it all at the farm stand, then take a short detour to taste what the land produced that day. The people, the produce, and the sense of place make Santa Ynez a memorable stop.
