Relax into Summer at the Spa

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.

Upcoming Lecture Series at La Quinta

The Dr. Armin Rembe Lecture Series celebrates Dr. Rembe’s legacy with stimulating conversations rooted in the core values and mission of Los Poblanos. The series honors the La Quinta Cultural Center’s rich history from the 1930s and 1940s when the Simms family held lectures and events promoting the arts. Soak in summer at Los Poblanos with Afternoon Tea at La Quinta before the lecture or enjoy dinner afterward at Campo.

Celebrating San Ysidro Day

Today marks the feast day of San Ysidro, the patron saint of farmers, gardeners and laborers. An important figure around the farm, his remarkable story has been told for centuries. Ysidro and his wife, Maria, were poor farm laborers who went to mass every morning before going to work. Yet despite the hours of lost labor, the fields and plants were as well cared for as those of other laborers. When other farm workers became envious and told the landowner, it was discovered that while Ysidro and Maria were praying at mass, an angel was plowing their fields for them. 

Enjoy Summer on the Farm

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.

Farm Journal: Anticipation is in the Air

Spring arrived on the farm with a snowstorm that made the gardens and lavender fields sparkle with sun breaking through the low-hanging clouds. The back-and-forth play of warm sunny days and reminders that winter can return at a moment’s notice keep the farmers on their toes as they prepare to bring the farm out of winter slumber.

The story of Penny and her best selling Lavender Salve

Women's History Month is an exciting time for Los Poblanos as our property has been deeply impacted and shaped by amazing women. One of the most influential women throughout the property's history is our current owner and Los Poblanos matriarch, Penny Rembe. Penny and her late husband Armin have lived on the property since the 1970s, and Penny's creativity and business savvy have influenced the preservation and growth of Los Poblanos in countless ways. From opening the original bed and breakfast in 1999 to developing the recipe for our signature Lavender Salve, Los Poblanos simply would not be the place it is today without Penny's leadership and inspired vision.
