The Sikes Adobe Farmhouse is a State Point of Historic Interest and a City of San Diego historic site that is being restored by the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority to its period of significance – the period from 1869 to 1899 – which is the time period when it was occupied by the Sikes family. From it we can learn what life was like for the pioneer settlers in San Diego shortly after statehood. The Farmhouse was initially restored in January 2004. In October 2007 it was burned to the ground in the Witch Creek Fire except for the adobe walls. Rebuilding began in August 2009. The Grand Re-Opening Ceremony was held June 26, 2010.

 

The Farmers Market encourages local residents and area visitors to tour and support the Homestead by participating in periodic adjacent activities, which directly support the Homestead.

Visa, MasterCard, Amex & Discover accepted.

 

Easy to get to. I-15 at Via Rancho Parkway, just 3/4 mile east off the freeway!

 

The former Webb Park Certified Farmers Market (Rancho Bernardo) combined efforts with the former Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead Certified Farmers Market, was renamed the North San Diego Certified Farmers Market and reopened in its current location at the Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead on April 10, 2011.
