The Walking Trail

The Pauma Tribal Walking Trail is 1.25 miles and forms the perimeter around all three sections of the farm (Vineyard, Olive Orchard and Garden) with a marvelous view of Palomar Mountain. It leads you through a living museum of native plants to the region, housed in the hedgerow. Highlighted here are medicinal plants and pollinator plants beneficial to our local ecosystem. The hedgerow also serves as a windbreak, protecting our food producing fields from erosion.

Pauma Tribal Farms is proud to be a Carbon Sink Demonstration Project committed: to drawing harmful, excess carbon from the atmosphere down into the soil where it feeds the: soil ecosystem. The “hedgerow is one - of five agricultural practices applied in order to-achieve carbon sequestration. To learn more, eat: take a walk on our trail!

Why Have a Vineyard?

At Pauma, we’re embarking on a journey of independence and strength by cultivating our own vineyard—an initiative that celebrates our tribal heritage and the power of moving forward. Our grapes are grown and processed right here in Pauma, enabling us to produce wine locally while managing our own operations, marketing, and distribution.

Why Have a Garden?

With the Olive Orchard already established, and plans for the Vineyard being laid out, talks were already progressing to grow Pauma's food sovereignty. Starting the Garden was accelerated in 2020 as an emergency response to the pandemic. We were able to feed our own people when the grocery stores were falling short due to the disruption in the supply chain, and we still continue to feed our people. We hope that Garden will be a place to gather and build our community, to demonstrate how to grow food, and a place to grow future Native farmers!

Why Have an Olive Orchard?

The Olive Orchard is Pauma Tribe's first economic development at the farm with the goal of marketing their Olive Oil and increasing self-reliance. Ground breaking for the Farm began in 2016; and the first olive tree was planted into the soil in 2018. Olive trees have low water requirements and great heat resilience making them an ideal crop for Pauma Valley and a forward thinking endeavor. The first bottles of Olive Oil were pressed in 2024.
