From leafy greens to sun-ripened fruits, our valley’s bounty is as vibrant as the land it comes from.
Welcome to the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley's farm-fresh goodness — where every carrot, berry, and tomato is picked with care, rooted in tradition, and ready for your table. Explore local farms, seasonal harvests, and fresh finds that make every meal a little more magical.
We are excited to share the beginnings of a new community-driven project: the Santa Ynez Valley Farmstand and Merkantile Listing! While still in its early stages, this initiative aims to create a comprehensive, advertisement-free directory showcasing the incredible farm stands, local producers, and agricultural businesses that make our valley so unique.
As we move forward, we’re gathering the valley’s best farm stands, produce, and agricultural services to create a resource that will connect locals and visitors with the fresh, homemade, and farm-to-table experiences that define our valley. Our goal is simple: to strengthen our local economy, promote sustainable agriculture, and celebrate the hardworking people behind the scenes who make the Santa Ynez Valley such a special place.
Located in Buellton, Something Good Farmstand proudly connects the community with freshly picked, 100% organic produce straight from John Givens Farm. For over three decades, this local favorite has been a cornerstone of sustainable farming in the Santa Barbara area, offering unbeatable freshness, unbeatable prices, and a true taste of the land we call home. Rain or shine, Something Good is committed to bringing the valley’s best Certified Organic produce straight to your table — with heart, heritage, and hometown pride.

Located in the rolling hills of Buellton, Zacca Farms offers visitors a true taste of ranch life on the Central Coast. Guests can explore the expansive 1,600-acre ranch through virtual or in-person tours, where they’ll meet friendly herds of alpacas and llamas grazing freely under the old oak trees — a peaceful and unforgettable experience for all ages.
Zacca Creek Ranch is also proud to raise humanely managed cattle, committed to open-pasture grazing and sustainable ranching traditions that honor both the animals and the land.
Adding to the experience is Zaca Coffee — born, roasted, and brewed right on the ranch. Owners Dennis and Hayley spent over a year traveling the globe in search of the world’s finest beans, crafting rich, complex roasts that reflect the spirit of life on California’s Central Coast.
At Zacca Farms, it's all about slowing down, savoring the moment, and reconnecting with the land — one cup of coffee, one gentle alpaca nuzzle, and one big stretch of open sky at a time.
Tours are $24/adult, $12/child ages 3 – 12, under age 3 is free.
