However the girls that run the little store when I am there are not friendly nor do they generally have answers for questions. I've tried to have a conversation with them but they are inconvenienced by my existence. Half the stuff is miss marked and some don't have ingredients. They ring up the wrong items and when you point out they rang up the wrong item or the item has a sticker with a lower price they are put out by having to correct the wrong item and wont even correct the price. Overall I will be looking for a closer person with eggs without corn because after several visits 1/ever 2-3 months I'm over being treated the way the girls treat me.

We mostly buy her honey and candies, but she also has stuffed animals and figurines from her own alpaca fur. Her plants and succulents are in really good shape.

All of which are visible from the entrance. Not only are her products excellent, but she is also super nice, friendly, and neighborly- I absolutely love her products, especially the ones made of honey. They are well worth the cost.

Happened upon this sweet pumpkin patch by accident & so glad that we did! My husband & I enjoyed…read moreour time here. We've been to numerous pumpkin patches in the county, and this one has been the best experience. I loved seeing pumpkins growing from the vine & picking one from them.

An hour later around 10am was when it started to get busy. It's a smaller patch so a couple hours is doable if you have small kiddos. There's a barn to buy your pumpkins, a corn maze ($5pp), corn blaster ($1 per shot), petting zoo (free), and some small booths of food and small trinkets. Our group had a lot of fun for the 2 hours we were there. There is a huge rock display where the kids climb and great photo ops. This patch was quite a distance from Mira Mesa (40-45 mins) but since we left early in the morning, there was no traffic and ample parking. Parking is free and lots available.

It was by far lower then those numbers. I was very surprised that NO SIGNS were displayed at any major intersections leading to the pumpkin patch. $50 Per Day for a Craft Fair is on the higher end, but at a location with high foot traffic and promotion it's worth it. Neither of those simple expectations were present at this sale. No promotion of a Fair with leading signs displayed, minimal social presentation and very very low traffic. Disappointing. I would hope this business finds this as a learning curve for the next Craft Sale or Vendor Sale. These are small family businesses and $100 for a weekend is a lot. Take Care!

For anyone worried about the treatment of their animals, there's nothing to worry about. These animals are well, well cared for (I grew up on a farm so I would know). Nice gift shop, friendly staff. 11/10 will go again.

Every time we drive through those gates, it feels like stepping into a different rhythm -- slower, softer, and full of heart. There's a calm that settles over me the moment I arrive, like all the noise of everyday life fades into the background. For a few precious hours, time seems to stand still. We spend our visits surrounded by the most amazing animals, each with their own story and personality. The people who care for them are just as special -- kind, genuine, and truly devoted to every creature on the farm. They always greet us by name, take time to chat, and make our son feel like part of their family. He loves to feed the sheep, who are so patient and gentle with him. I love learning each animal's name and backstory -- it makes every visit feel personal and deeply grounding. If you ever feel weighed down by the world, this is the place to go. It's impossible to leave without feeling lighter, calmer, and a little more connected to what really matters. And as a bonus -- they grow the most delicious fruits and vegetables right there on the farm, fresh from the earth that gives this place so much life. If you are looking for a special place to take your family, I highly recommend it!

First off it's huge and you are allowed to feed and pet ALL of the animals! They have so much to see! Cows, pigs, camels, and even a zebra!! I never thought in my life I'd pet a zebra, this experience is just incredible! They even have turkeys and peacocks that roam and even came up to us for some food! All of the animals were super friendly and adorable. We even saw the smallest mini horse ever that was so cute. There are also cats that roam the property and one of them followed us throughout the whole place. Can you ask for a cuter tour guide?! They also grow their own produce and sell eggs. We picked and cut our own pumpkins and left with some duck eggs as well! Overall this was just the most fun experience I've ever had. I regret not purchasing the membership because ever since I left I keep thinking about how bad I want to come back! This is definitely a hidden gem and a fantastic experience.

Flowers were in bloom and they did offer raspberries, but also said that was slim as well. Sure enjoy, with 3 people and 6 eyes, we were able to fill up. You pre-pay and then they give you your container. Walk around and you can come here to pick different fruits during different seasons. Guess what, they have a petting zoo inside as well! How cool! If there is food available and they haven't been fed too much, you can grab a scoop and feed away! Staff was friendly and very helpful in navigating, especially when you forget where you are supposed to walk to in order to pick your fruit. I would say it is about farmer's market pricing, definitely not on the cheaper scale but you are paying for quality here. Can't wait to come back! We came here in August 2025, and then my Husband brought his mother and siblings here in October 2025. They loved it as well. Plenty of parking, although dirt parking, easy to get in and out.

The animals were friendly, engaging, and active, which is a testament to how happy and well cared for they are. Each party is given a complimentary bucket of lettuce to feed the animals, with more available for purchase. We got to pet and feed not only mini pigs, but also goats, ducks, chickens, and even a large, handsome turkey. And because it was Valentine's Day, the staff passed around glasses of sparkling wine for guests, which was an extra special touch. The setting is tucked away in a mountainous area, making it feel like a hidden gem off the beaten path. It was the perfect stop on our way to San Diego. We're definitely looking forward to returning again next time!
