We are seeking a Resident Volunteer/Caretaker to live at Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead starting in April 2021!

With a beautiful year-round climate there are many attractions and experiences to explore! Recreational opportunities are endless with a lake and trails at your doorstep and the beach only 30 minutes away. In exchange for 20 hours of hour per week, the San Dieguito River Park will cover most water, electric and sewerage payments. The Resident volunteer must have a personally owned trailer or 5th wheeler, which will serve as your on-site residence.

Please contact Leana Bulay at [email protected] or 760-716-1214 for more details.

Usually around this time of year the Friends of Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead are preparing to have you for the Annual Valentine's Tea Fundraiser. Given the public health order we cannot hold our usual Valentine’s Tea so we are postponing until Mother’s Day weekend, May 8th and 9th. We look forward to welcoming you into our beautiful Sike’s Adobe for tea, sandwiches and delicious pastries. For all of our Mom’s we would like to offer a little surprise and of course, a tour of the Adobe and Farmstead for all of you. Tea reservations will open April 1, 2021.
