As an avid Audie Murphy fan, I was surprised that I hadn't heard of the Wooden Nickel Ranch in…read moreMenifee. I was researching the Audie Murphy Ranch community when I discovered this place founded by the same man, Tom Fuhrman. My friend and I drove over earlier this month to check it out. We had no problem locating it. I was bowled over at how adorable this place was! As I ran back to the car to grab my camera to take pics, I came across a guy in a truck driving down from one of the residences. I explained that I was a huge Audie Murphy fan and just had to check this place out after reading about it online. He immediately lit up and said, "Well, now, because of that, I will personally give you a tour and the backstory on how this all came about!" He introduced himself as Chet and spent a good part of an hour telling my friend and I how he and Tom built this place with discarded material from Audie Murphy's own ranch after the original structures were torn down. The property is rented for weddings, receptions, hootenannies, you name it! My only regret is that I don't live closer to take advantage of this amazing place. I'm so glad we had the opportunity to check it out and that we had Chet as a guide who made the place personal. I think Audie himself would be right pleased!

They are mindful in their farming practices, ethical in their animal treatment, and you can taste the love. I was vegetarian for most of my life, mostly because felt guilty eating animals. When my health began to become effected by my lack of animal proteins, I slowly began to introduce meats. I bought from Whole Foods, it was "pasture raised," it was pretty tasty, but I had a hard time digesting it. A few years later I started buying my meats from a farm in Nor Cal and having it shipped. I didn't like that everything was frozen but I knew it was better than the grocery-bought stuff. Once I switched to Da-Le, was when I REALLY understood how important the methods of animal care are. The farm I purchased from prior, had no intel on feeding or culling methods, and when asked how they tended their animals, their response was, "we do what we want and they do what they want, we don't really tend them." I like the idea of free-range animals, but the vendor then went on to explain that they travel for great lengths of time and lots of people come and help out. It felt disconnected to me, like it was all for profit not out of love for the methodology of farming and providing the community with great food. Anyway, this is not about the "other guys," this is about Da-Le. I have built a beautiful relationship with Ashlie and her Laguna Beach Farmers Market crew, they always make great recommendations, and are truly engaging when you come to their booth. I don't feel rushed, I feel cared about! 3 years later, I am writing blogs for Da-Le, something that brings me the deepest joy, because I am so passionate about sustainability and wellness. My digestion of meats has greatly improved, and I personally feel it is because the animals live low-stress lives and eat quality food. I feel good about my consumption of meat when I support operations like Da-Le, and my body does too!

The eggs are delicious! Pick up a few dozen and enjoy. The young man was very nice and helpful.read more

I have never had any issues with Cindy about how I like my gang treated, but I have had these types of issues with past barns. For example some barns only allow you to feed their hay, or only allow certain colors in the stalls you pay to have your horses in. Cindy was also very helpful in finding a way to keep my gang together. I brought a lot of horses in last minute to her, and with her help I was able to keep them all in the same area. This property also has access to over 880 acres of trails, so I never run out of options when I take my gang out to have fun.

Genesis was completely honest and upfront about the horse I inquired about which is really hard to find. We started looking for a horse and we heard from her that she had a horse that fit our description so we went and looked at the horse and he was literally everything we were told he was and more! We got there and he was literally the sweetest most loving horse ever! I like the older ones because they are better broke for the kids to ride. We ended up with this amazing horse named Pooh Bear. The best part about it is she even dropped him off to me because I was so close. I mean how better can it get honestly! All the girls that work here were absolutely phenomenal. They didn't make it awkward or make me feel any pressure to buy him or anything. They even tried him first before I got on which is very professional. That's how it should be. They also offered to help Me if I ever have any problems with this sweet boy! If you are looking for your forever baby I highly recommend reaching out to Rocky Peak Ranch you will not regret it one bit! Thank you to all the wonderful staff that helped me find my Pooh Bear!

I also love purcashing the pantry staples they carry that I wouldn't find at stater bros or target too. Just last month when I had to purchase close to 22-24 lbs of meat for a party, i just purchased the day before and they were able to get me out the door quickly despite the big request. I got a lot of positive feedback from family and friends how delicious the carne and chicken was. I come from Anaheim and I struggled finding my go to spot to buy carne asada when I first moved here, but I'm glad I found this place. :) staff are always polite and attentive.

The service was fast and friendly. But overall, the food was lacking flavor. The taco chicken was dry with no flavor in it. They use the same in the torta. Dry and a lil old. Everything else was fine this is just specifically for the food. (Those item) I want to come back and try more and give more updates. They have breakfast and fresh waters and mini market. I'll keep this updated.

The grounds are amazing, a beautiful little oasis tucked away in the middle of the Spencer's Crossing neighborhood. Very surprising but absolutely beautiful! The facility had more than slough room for about 100 people. I'd guess you could hold a large event/wedding with no trouble. Brought in a DJ and several vendors and still had plenty of space. The staff was helpful, friendly, and kept the flow of the event moving right on schedule - no easy feat with 25+ middle school girls LOL!! Not sure if the cost since I was just an attendee at the event but I have to assume the value is built in because this place was fantastic!

Let me start with, I'm horrible at planning anything! My fiancé and I went to view this venue and…read morewhen we tell you we fell in love with how gorgeous it was it's an understatement. The important thing to note here is that they do a lot of weddings! Towards the beginning they were undergoing a lot of changes within staff and it was difficult initially to contact them or get a response which was extremely frustrating. Once it got closer to our wedding day we got a new coordinator named Tessa and she basically saved my sanity because from that moment on I had no issues and felt so prioritized. Be patient with them in the beginning because you're one of many brides they speak to on a daily basis. Once you're wedding day is actually there, it will be worth every single penny. The food was amazing, the DJ is so good and attentive, our day of coordinator Hayley was also really nice and Victoria made sure to ask me if I needed anything she was there to make it happen. I can't stress enough how incredibly beautiful our wedding was and every single guest told us the pictures of the venue we sent did not do it justice. Also, get the horse carriage it's such a beautiful moment I shared with my dad then with my husband. We saw Tessa the next day when I went to pick up some things we left behind and she asked where we were going for our honeymoon and literally within the hour of us leaving she emailed us so many great ideas and recommendations. Lake Oak Meadows is lucky to have someone like her that is so kind, reassuring, goes above and beyond expectations, and genuinely you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you to everyone who helped create our magical day sorry if I was a stressed wreck initially but you guys definitely delivered and made me look good because like I said I can't plan anything accordingly. To see how great it turned out you guys definitely know how to make everything feel perfect. 12.2.21

Grab a bottle of their Grand Cuvée Reserve if you want something bubbly or my personal favorite the 17 Dolcetto Reserve (an 88point). MMM baked fruit and toasted oak. The property itself feels peaceful the second you arrive. The lake, the oak trees, the open sky -- it all comes together in a way that feels natural and romantic without trying too hard. There's something about being surrounded by rolling hills and water that just makes the moment feel bigger and more meaningful. One of the BEST parts about Lake Oak Meadows is how many perfect little spots there are. You can walk along the lake at sunset, find a quiet corner under the trees, or use the rustic barn and open fields as your backdrop. The light in the evening is especially stunning -- soft, golden, and perfect for photos you'll look back on forever. It doesn't feel crowded or overly formal. It feels calm. Intimate. Like you can take your time and really be in the moment. That's what makes it such a special place to ask such an important question. If you want a proposal setting that's naturally beautiful and unforgettable without feeling staged, Lake Oak Meadows is truly something special.
