Country Friends Rancho Santa Fe Home Page
Description
Rancho Santa Fe, situated on rolling hills east of Del Mar, is a charming community committed to preserving its heritage. In the "village" center the Rancho Santa Fe Inn stands as a dominant landmark for visitors. Spanish and Mediterranean architectural designs characterize most buildings with some structures dating from the late 1800's.
Surrounded by many winding country roads, Rancho Santa Fe's serenity continues to be explored by visitors. Eucalyptus, citrus, avocado, palm trees and flowering mimosa adorn the rolling hills and roadways throughout the Ranch. No matter the reason, people are lured to this enchanting area to experience the calming atmosphere, fine dining, elegant accommodations of the Inn and the variety of shops. Not least of these is the shop of THE COUNTRY FRIENDS.
THE COUNTRY FRIENDS was formed in 1954 by a group of charitable and public-spirited Rancho Santa Fe women. The organization began with 167 members and has grown to over 1200 and had distributed over 12 million dollars to human-care agencies in San Diego County.
