Windrose Farm / Finca Los Agaves tells a story few Central Coast properties can. Established in 1990 and farmed continuously for more than three decades, Windrose helped pioneer the farm-to-table movement on the Central Coast. Its heirloom tomatoes, garlic, onions, potatoes, and rare apple varieties have earned a devoted following among chefs, appearing on the menus of celebrated farm-to-table restaurants from Paso Robles to Los Angeles, and the farm's ticketed dinners and annual heirloom tomato celebration have made it a beloved destination in its own right.
The setting explains why. Tucked into a protected valley microclimate east of Paso Robles near Creston, the 71 +/- acres across two parcels stretch along the Huer Huero Creek, one of the most prized and fertile growing corridors in San Luis Obispo County. The heirloom apple orchard, planted in 1998 with dozens of antique varieties sourced from the famed Trees of Antiquity nursery, along with mature stone fruit trees, stands as living proof of the soil's quality.
The working farm includes 12 +/- acres of vegetable rotations growing heirloom tomatoes, potatoes, onions, garlic, peppers, squash, and melons, a 6 +/- acre apple orchard, 5 +/- acres of heritage-breed pasture, and a CDFA-licensed nursery, supported by two wells (agricultural and domestic) and extensive infrastructure: a main residence with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and a wood-burning fireplace, a 1 bedroom, 1 bath guest dwelling, potential 10x20 +/- commercial space, a 75x25 +/- metal shop, a 50x60 +/- metal building, a pole barn, 12 netted growing structures, and much more.
The platform here is already built: a farm stand, guided farm walks, ticketed farm dinners, a direct-to-consumer online shop, the nursery, and the goodwill of the recognized Windrose Farm and Finca Los Agaves brands await new energy and vision. The creek-bottom terrain offers exceptional riding ground, a rare equestrian dimension at this scale. Williamson Act. A turnkey agricultural platform and an extraordinary place to plant roots, offering land, water, history, and lifestyle in rare combination.
