Step back from the brisk pace of fall and catch your breath at the Hacienda Spa. Whether you need a few quiet hours to yourself or a spa day with friends before the rush of the holidays, now is the time to book your seasonal treatments. As we transition into fall and the air gets cooler and drier, support your skin with a hydrating restorative facial or warming, soothing massage. Make a day of it with reservations for Afternoon Tea or a fresh organic meal at Campo.

Farm Journal: Late Summer on the Farm

Late summer on the farm is a time of increasing harvest and lots of weeding. The rains we have gotten have helped with the scarce water supply, though we have been modifying our irrigation and planting practices over the last few years as we become more concerned with the flow of the river, the ditches and the spotty monsoon season.

Farm Journal: Fruit Trees Boom and Bust Throughout the Seasons

Fruit Trees at Los Poblanos - elderberry

Fruit trees are integrated throughout the landscape at Los Poblanos. We grow a wide variety, each with a distinct season and individual flavor. The farm team meets regularly with the culinary team, and much of what we plant reflects direct requests from chefs, bakers and others who help us to develop a farm that supports the diversity of Los Poblanos. From the mulberry syrup in your cocktail, to a plum tart in the restaurant and the blossoms and branches that adorn our public spaces, fruit trees enliven every season on the farm. Some are hardy and reliable, while others have challenges that can lead to bounty or failure.

His son Alex also started a company that makes the wooden paddle boards and titanium spatulas we carry in the Farm Shop.

With longer days and our fields turning purple with lavender, it's time to prepare your skin for summer. As our daily routines shift with the changing weather, our skincare routines should do the same. Seasonal treatments at the Hacienda Spa change every few months and are thoughtfully crafted with our climate and seasonal habits in mind.

As summer arrives and our lavender fields begin to showcase their shades of purple, the farm is in full swing. Countless varieties of vegetables and herbs that were planted earlier in the year are now ready for harvest and the gardens are bursting with blooms.
