Tom's Farm is
located in Temescal Canyon near Lake Elsinore just off interstate
15. Tom's produce stand opened in 1974 way out in the middle
of nowhere. As the surrounding area grew so has Tom's Farm.
Over the years the farm has added a wine and cheese store, duck
pond, furniture store, and several restaurants. The newest addition
to the farm is a kid friendly ride section including an old
time carousel and miniature train ride. Inside the produce store
you can still find fresh produce, dried fruit, nuts, dates,
jelly bellies and candies. What started out as a produce stand
has now turned into a family destination attracting visitors
from all over Southern California.
The produce stand still has an excellent selection of fruits
and veggies and its just about impossible to leave without picking
up some candy or nuts. If your looking for a quick day trip
Tom's is perfect. If your coming from LA or Orange County its
best to leave fairly early to beat the traffic on the 91 freeway.
Although the area around Tom's Farm is
slowly being developed a trip to the farm stand still gives
you the feeling of being out in the country.
