This popular U-pick offering is back for its third year and is the largest U-pick daffodils location in Southern California. Guests visiting the farm can pick their own flowers from Julian Farm and Orchard's sprawling flower fields.

The 25-acre family-friendly sustainable farm saw thousands of visitors last year and gave an up-close experience with a variety of daffodils. This year, Tahiti, Carlton, Love Day, and Dutch Master are some of the variations that will be in full bloom. The farm anticipates up to 150,000 blooms from March through April, offering guests a great opportunity to visit and cut their own daffodils.

Daffodil Days also sees the return of the farm's family-friendly activity offerings. Guests can visit the animal sanctuary and petting zoo, haybale maze, hayrides, the rock-climbing wall, axe throwing and more will be available for the whole crew. The gift shop features Julian Apple Cider and pies along with many unique and locally sourced items.
