Avila Valley Barn

Whether you take a hay ride to the pumpkin patch for Halloween, pet the goats at the petting zoo, pick your own apples in the fall, or go to the Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe for a scoop of delicious ice cream, a trip to the Avila Valley Barn will be an experience children are sure to remember forever.

A rustic barn exterior, surrounded by acres of orchards, blooming flowers and trellises of vines, on the road that leads to Avila Beach, the Avila Valley Barn is the epitome of all farm stands and farmers’ markets. Offering u-pick fruits, berries and vegetables, a full open air market of locally-grown and organic farmers’ market produce, mouth-watering bakery items, unique country gifts and décor in the gift shop, and farm animals in the petting zoo—the warm, inviting country culture and delicious flavors of San Luis Obispo are best experienced at the Avila Valley Barn.

Get a taste of seasonal treats like corn-on-the-cob or fresh-pressed apple cider on the picnic benches and tables or get into the holiday spirit by shopping for festive decorations and gifts.

No matter what, you’re sure to leave the Avila Valley Barn with that warm, gooey feeling inside (and perhaps some gooey, sticky ice cream and cotton candy residue on your kids’ smiling faces, too).
