Definitely recommend, and would love to do it again. The owner quickly gave us a tour of the areas we could explore, then handed us the food to feed the animals, and was very welcoming and cheerful. Feeding the animals was very easy, and they were so friendly and sweet. I could definitely tell the owners care deeply for their pets and animals. There was also a bathroom which was very convenient. Wonderful experience overall! read more

I'd just lost a family member and my boyfriend brought me here a few days after. It was such a wonderful experience interacting with the animals and I even got to hold a baby bunny. This farm even had trampolines and a swing set which brought out my inner child. I loved how we could really take our time and just hang out. The owner was so kind and you can tell they truly love the animals and treat them well. Thank you so much for healing a little piece of my soul! read more

We brought our daughter here to see all of the wonderful animals and weren't disappointed! It was pretty expensive ($35 per adult, $15 per child, $10 for food to feed the animals) - $95 for three people. We had a great time and saw the cows, goats, chickens, rabbits, and alpacas! The owners were extremely welcoming and kind. They brought us a baby rabbit and little chick to hold and really facilitated a fun experience. I would highly recommend!! read more

This place restored my energy and gave me immense gratitude. I took a day off last Friday because I maxed out on accruing PTO. I have been short-staffed, so I wasn't able to take time off but w/ my team slowly getting back one by one, I knew I needed some time w/ myself doing what brings me the most joy. Growing up we had dogs and cats. Now I have 8 cats and I feed a small stray population (all fixed) in me neighborhood. But the more I work inside the semiconductor industry, the more I want to get away from the noise, the people, and be w/ the animals. When animals are hungry, they eat. When animals are tired, they sleep. When there are conflicts, they fight. They have no hidden agenda. They will love you unconditionally no matter what you bring to the table. Booking the reservation was easy. You pay half of it first to secure the timeslot. At the time of your reservation, you will be asked to pay the remaining balance. Paying cash will give you 10% off. You can bring children and even your dogs! They have a small area for kids to play. You can bring fruits/vegetables or purchase food for $10. All of their animals (cows, chickens, alpacas, goats, rabbits, and dogs) are secured. You can feed them, take selfies w/ them, and pet them but you cannot be inside the enclosures. The cats are healthy and friendly, they roam the property. There wasn't a single area I saw that wasn't maintained. Every animal and every enclosure were clean and well taken care of. Jasmine and Andrew were personable, friendly, and you can see how much love and patience they radiate. I cannot wait to head back. This time I will bring Gavin. From that day on, I decided to stop consuming lamb, goat, and a day after turkey. i am not trying to be vegan or a vegetarian but I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint what w/ all the AI data centers and the artic no longer being protected, I just feel it's my duty to do my part in helping preserve this planet not just for my kids, but for all living beings on this planet - mainly the animals. read more

Jasmine and Andrew are dog lovers and it shows! I had my little terrier Sammy board with them for a few days. They took time to get to know my anxious little dog and took good care of him. They sent me updates and photos each day I was gone. Sammy had a blast and met alpacas for the first time read more

Back-to-Eden Ranch - A beautiful A2 cow. We learned so many things about farm animals during our visit. - Attraction Farms Near Me - Gilroy, California

What a fun evening! Andrew the owner was out and about showing my husband and I the farm. We fed cows, goats, geese, rabbits, alpacas, and chickens. He brought out the baby bunnies and got to hold one. Andrew was very friendly and loved to talk about the farm and his garden! What a guy! read more

This is the first petting zoo i've ever visited and wow this truly set the bar , although a little bit on the pricer side but definitely worth the cause ! The owner was so kind to give us a brief tour of the areas we were able to access. I booked the petting zoo experience for my niece and nephew and they could not stop talking about it after we left, we loved every bit of it & highly recommend :) read more

We visited Back to Eden Ranch today and it was honestly such a special experience for our family. From the moment we arrived, Jasmine and Andrew welcomed us like we were friends coming over to their home. They are truly the sweetest couple and you can immediately feel how much love they've put into their ranch and their animals. They took their time showing us around, teaching us about the animals, and letting us really be part of the experience. Holding the baby goats was something I didn't expect to impact me the way it did, but it honestly felt kind of magical. Such a simple moment but one I'll remember forever. The ranch itself is beautiful. A peaceful five acre farm filled with chickens, ducks, cows, calves, alpacas, bunnies, dogs, and cats. It feels so calm and homey, not rushed or crowded, just genuine and welcoming. You can tell the animals are loved and well cared for. As a mom, experiences like this mean so much. Getting to slow down, be outside, and share something so wholesome together was really special for us. It was completely worth the price and the drive. We loved talking with Jasmine and Andrew and hearing their story. They are truly kind people and it shows in everything they do. We left with full hearts and already can't wait to come back again. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for something meaningful and memorable. read more

Me, my partner, and our dog had a wonderful experience overall. Had a chance to pet and feed cows, rabbits goose, chickens, and alpacas. I came with a bag of celery, carrots and an apple and it was really a joyous experience feeding them. It's much more fun and interactive than a zoo in my opinion the bond that you get to have with these animals. We came in on the last time slot and there was only one other family, so we had lots of opportunities one v one time with the animals and the owners as well. It is apparent from the cleanliness, well-natured temperament of the animals, and through our conversations with Jasmine and Andrew that they put their whole hearts and love into this place. Definitely will bring more family and friends here in the future! read more

Our family of ten had an amazing experience at Andrew and Jasmines farm. We were greeted warmly and shared the farm with only one other family which allowed us direct time with the animals. At arrival I expected a huge area but was pleasantly surprised it was a small family owned farm. We, six adults and 4 littles ages 1, 3, and 10 yr old twins got to pet and feed the alpacas, goats, rabbits, chickens, geese, cows and the family dog. The experience was amazing! The adults also got to hold bay goats-- incredibly therapeutic. Most animal are kept behind wire and fences however, the petting was perfect with absolutely no worries for the littles. We also purchased the food and they provide so much! The farm also has other children amenities such as playhouses, trampolines and swings. I also saw picnic tables and were able to wonder throughout the entire farm. Thank you Jasmine and Andrew for sharing your love for the farm with us and sharing your life experiences with me and my family. May God continue to bless you with good health jasmine and allow you both to continue to share these beautiful experiences with others. read more

We had a wonderful time staying at their guest house and visiting the petting zoo! Took my family, including 3 years old nephew, during the thanksgiving week and we absolutely loved meeting Jasmine and Andrew and their happy animals. We also got to pick pomegranates and furu persimmons. It was everything we hoped for--being in nature, interacting with cute animals and trying fresh produce. Highly recommend staying their guest house and visiting the petting zoo! Thank you for the amazing time! read more

I brought my family to Back-to-Eden Ranch for the farm experience. I had a longtime dream of meeting an alpaca and I thought it was time to fulfill it. All of the animals we met were incredibly sweet, and the tour was so well organized. Jasmine and Andrew did a wonderful job of teaching us how to interact with the various animals. The alpacas were as amazing as I expected but the goats, cows, geese, and rabbits were so much fun too. I'd come here again in a heartbeat. read more

It was a beautiful March morning. Six adults and 2 grandsons arrived at 9am appointment. At first I thought it was kind of expensive for a petting "Zoo" but once we arrived we were greeted by Jasmine who showed us around the well kept clean area and cages. She took us to each of the different animals. Llamas. Bunnies. Goats. Ducks. Chickens. Geese. And Joy, the cow. My grandsons loved it there, rode the swings and we spent over 2 hours there topped off with fresh squeezed lemonade picked from their bountiful trees. Best lemonade ever. And Jasmine's husband, Andrew gave us fresh lemons to take home. read more

The Farm Experience at Back to Eden Ranch blew away our expectations. Jasmine and Andrew clearly love their animals, prioritize a memorable farm experience for visitors and grow delicious fruits and veggies we were lucky to taste! My kids (7 and 5) loved every part of this farm visit, especially feeding the sweet cows (Joy and Pumpkin), playing with a baby rabbit and getting alpaca kisses! My husband got a kick out of "Good boy" the father goose. Life-long memories were made today. read more

A very fun mommy and daughter date idea! I booked on a Monday morning online kind of last minute around 9-10am for the 1pm slot. We arrived at the gate and called the owners that we were there for the petting farm. They were very apologetic as they weren't home atm and they didn't see my booking, but they were on their way -- only waited around 10 minutes. I recommend booking a day before the day you want to come just so your booking can be seen by them in time. The owners were so kind and were really chill about us walking around the farm area and playing on the playground,etc. They gave us two buckets, one with pellets and one full of fresh hay. We were free to feed and pet any of the animals through the pens/gates. All the animals were very willing to eat from our hands. Since we waited a little bit for them to come home they were so nice to offer us to hold the baby goats. Really recommend! Thank you Back to Eden Ranch for the great experience. read more

I absolutely adore coming here ! The owners jasmine and her husband were so very kind. We first visited in November for my birthday and I had so much fun! Jasmine took us around showing us the animals and then gave us the food to start the feedings. She told us to come back in the spring because there would be baby goats ! Now this is our second time and brought our little chihuahua with us. The baby goats were adorable ! I truly cannot say enough great things about this ranch. You gotta try their lemonade and you can also buy eggs ! read more

Did a farm tour here, and it's such a special place. We were able to feed a miniature cow (Joy), goats, alpacas, rabbits, chickens, and ducks. We even got to collect fresh eggs from the hens, walk the goats, cuddle the baby bunnies, hold chickens & baby chicks, hug "Good Boy" the goose, kiss the alpacas, pet cats, and pet their livestock guardian dogs. There's a lot of kid-friendly stuff outside of the animals too - playhouses, slides, and trampolines. read more

As a mother of two, I've been to many petting zoos in the Bay area and this place is simply The Best. It's not only about how cute the animals are (you cal tell they are all being taken good care of here) or how clean and well organized the entire ranch is, it's the vibe there, so peaceful and joyful, making an adult not want to leave, and start to think how wonderful it would be to raise kids at a place like this. I'm 35+ and I want to have my next birthday party here. read more

Such a lovely farm! I recently adopted three bunnies from Jasmine, and they are the sweetest, most well-tempered, little guys. You can truly tell how much care and love she pours into her animals and her property. She was incredibly generous, not only by taking her time to give me a full tour, but also to share so much helpful knowledge along the way. It was such a pleasant experience, I'll definitely be back to visit! read more

If I could give Jasmine and Andrew 6 stars I would! I needed someone to watch Tank (our miniature dachshund) last minute and during the holidays. I received no reply from another place so in a last minute desperation, I called Back to Eden. Jasmine answered and asked me numerous questions about Tank. I was worried because he had never been watched by anyone other than family. Jasmine had me bring him over that morning for a meet and greet. The property is beautiful and has over 100 animals! Cats, dogs, goats, cows, alpacas and more! They all had their own large pens with plenty of open land to roam. I could tell within 5 minutes of being there that this is where I wanted Tank to stay during our trip. I dropped him off the following morning for a 3 day trip. Every day Jasmine kept me updated with photos and videos of her and Tank exploring the grounds, Tank socializing with other pups and I could tell he was having the time of his life! The final day I received Xmas photos of Jasmine, Andrew and Tank! I was so happy that I not only could trust Tank with someone other than family (although they now are!), but he actually got time on the ranch to explore and socialize with the animals. If you need a place to care for your pup while you are away, don't hesitate, this is doggie paradise! read more

Five of the things that we appreciated the most about our recent visit to the Back-to-Eden Ranch: 1. The cats who rushed out to greet us when we parked inside the gate were amazingly friendly. I never knew that cats could be so sociable and outgoing. At the end of our visit, as we were about to get into our car to leave, one of them rushed out to socialize with us--meowing and purring up a storm--as if to say, "Please don't go!" For me, that alone made the visit worthwhile. 2. Jasmine and Andrew take a very down-to-earth and non-commercial approach to their visitors, giving us the feeling that they were friends or family rather than a business. 3. The animals all appear very clean and well-cared for, which is heartening to witness. 4. The portions of feed/"snacks" for the animals are extremely generous (and affordable), so don't feel compelled to bring your own edibles. 5. There was a variety of animals to which we were exposed, including alpacas, chickens, cows, ducks, geese, goats and rabbits. Note: What we encountered in our experience might be called a "feeding zoo." It was certainly not a "petting zoo" (as billed on the website), as the animals could only be fed through wire mesh or across tall fences. They could not be pet or held as they were in photos that appear on the website. For this reason, it would probably be best not to expect that your experience will be different, unless you're assured otherwise in advance by phone. (Reviewing the website and our emailed receipt, as far as I can tell, we did purchase the "petting zoo" experience, though this is not what we got. As an expression of appreciation and support for the owners and their venture, we are nonetheless awarding this review a full five stars.) Bonus tip: Drive very slowly as you approach, as it's easy to miss the gated entrance unless you're familiar with it. read more

You must come to Back to Eden Ranch! I really wanted to pet cows specifically for my birthday and we got so much more than that. There are chickens, geese, cows, goats, alpacas, dogs, cats, and BUNNIES HERE. When we went there was a baby goat who followed us around to all the different pens and baby bunnies as well. The owner of this home ranch is a wonderful and hardworking woman who welcomed us so warmly- not to mention makes the BEST made fresh to order lemonade that you must get while youre there. Her animals are all so well taken care of and happy to be pet. Not pictured, but she also has many different goats and a very friendly dog you can play with too. There are also eggs sold here seasonally, my partner and I really want to come back for the goose eggs specifically. So many bunnies! So many cats! So much fun! We went in August and I hope to go back soon ‍ read more

The cutest farm! We had the best experience! I took my 2 year old and she absolutely loved it, and I did too. We got to feed all the animals- cow, chicken, goats, alpaca, rabbit, etc. It's a family farm run by an elderly couple. The owners were so kind and accommodating. They have a little play set for the kids too. I was also so impressed by the upkeep of the farm. So well maintained. Will definitely come back again soon. 10/10 recommend read more
