What We Do

In partnership with the city of Escondido and educational institutions, we're establishing a dynamic Food Hub. This hub serves as a vital engine to drive the local economy, offering local farmers new avenues to sell their products. It's all about giving control back to our local heroes who work the land.

Our Farm Store at Wild Acres Farm will be more than a place to buy groceries - it'll be a vibrant celebration of local harvests and the hardworking farmers who make them possible. Here, you will discover a world of fresh, sustainably grown produce, all while supporting the local economy.

But it's not just about shopping - it's about connecting with the food we eat and the people who grow it. At our Farm Store, every purchase helps to cultivate a stronger, healthier community.

Our Value Added Processing Facility is where good food becomes a source of additional revenue while offering consumers more ways to enjoy local products. Here, we'll take fresh, locally-sourced produce and transform it into delectable, value-added products like jams, pickles, and sauces.

This approach extends the shelf life of our harvests, minimizes waste, and supports farm operations with new income streams. Even more, it's a testament to the creativity and innovation that thrives in our food community.

Our tasting room is where we will showcase the flavors of Wild Acres Farm and other local producers, serving up delicious food and drinks in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

It will be a place to learn about and appreciate the journey from farm to table. Whether you're tasting a new dish or savoring a favorite, our Café/Tasting Room invites you to explore the rich tapestry of local food.

Imagine a place where food dreams become reality. That's what our Food Maker Incubator Kitchen is all about. We're providing a space for budding food entrepreneurs to create, learn, and grow, with the ultimate goal of launching their own food businesses. It's all about nurturing talent and sparking success in the next generation of food makers.

We're developing an innovative Agricultural Technology Showcase that will spotlight cutting-edge solutions and their impact on local farmers and food makers.

This showcase will serve as a dynamic platform to celebrate the fusion of technology and agriculture, highlighting the transformative ways in which modern advancements enhance our region's farming practices.
