Antique Car Club Visits Creekside Farms


Creekside Farms had a visit from the Western Gaslight 1&2 Cylinder Registry, a division of the Horseless Carriage Club of America. This club is mainly compiled of vehicles dating back to the early 1900's. In essence, all automobiles are Horseless Carriages, but HCCA has defined the Horseless Carriage as any pioneer gas, steam and electric motor vehicle built or manufactured prior to January 1, 1916.

HCCA members got to see firsthand the rows and rows of herbs and lavender growing in our fields. Each guest received a bouquet of mixed herbs and flowers made by our skilled craftsman as they watched.  Creekside Farms welcomes the community and interested parties to tour our farm and facility.  If you would like to schedule a tour just give us a call 831-674-1234 or go to our website at www.creeksidefarms.com

Farm Day 2012

We had a great time participating in the South Monterey County Farm Day 2012. All 3rd grade students from the surrounding schools attend this annual event at the Salinas Valley Fair grounds. The Farm Day event provides information and hands on demonstrations about the agricultural industry of Monterey County. It allows the kids an opportunity to become familiar with how crops are grown, harvested and packaged for the consumer market. The kids seemed to really love all the fragrance provided by our display, especially the bowl of lavender buds. We look forward to participating in the next farm day event in our area.
