One of my favorite places in the entire world is the small self pick 5 acre organic family farm in Fallbrook that I’ve been lucky enough to spend endless sticky, sweet, scrumptious hours picking bags bursting with fruit over the past nine years.
My love for this property and gratitude to the Emerich Family has inspired me to start my own farm, Fruit Pursuit Farm.
Several months ago, my friend who was the care taker of this enchanting property passed away suddenly.
The farm is now closed to the public.
I worry that this fertile land, which has the ideal climate for all these different trees to thrive, will probably eventually be sold to a developer who will subdivide it, bulldoze all the trees and build houses.
The people who live there will never know what a magical place used to exist beneath their grassy lawns.
My friend George Emerich Jr. was a true inspiration and his death was very devastating to me. He was a plant wizard who could grow anything, and the farm flourished under his care.
He gave his entire life to taking care of his father’s beautiful fruit trees.
His beloved cat Salt, disappeared after his death and never returned.
I still have hopes that this special farm would be sold to someone who would appreciate it, and give it the love and attention it needs to bring it back to it’s full glory.
Instead I fear it will just be another Forgotten Farm, torn down to make room for yet another subdivision.
This farm has hundreds of fruit trees, some over 100 years old.
An entire Cherimoya grove, an Orange & Tangerine orchard, Macadamia grove, plus a dazzling array of sub tropical rare exotic fruit trees.
Trees on the Farm:
White Sapotes (several different trees over 100 years old)
Black Sapotes (Chocolate Pudding fruit – 3 trees)
Dragon Fruit (Magenta & White)
Longan
African Plum (very rare!)
Jaboticaba

George Jr. and this special Farm have inspired me to start my own farm of nutritious Greens and Veggies and rare, exotic subtropical fruit trees. It’s called Fruit Pursuit Farm!
