It's additional to do meet and greet with the farm animals. The total was $40 per person for our visit on a weekend. Once arrived, farmer Mike greeted us and walked us through the farm. They have donkeys and goats from Stardust Sanctuary you can see but cannot pet. We got to see pigs, bunnies, babydoll sheep, and highland cows. Farmer Mike was really patient with all the little ones on the tour and made sure to give precautions (don't chase the animals, etc). Overall we had a great time, at the end, farmer Mike even brought a baby pig for us to see and pet. Definitely an experience that is great for children, but my husband and I still enjoyed the tour.

The highlight of the experience was the owner's son, who led our tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the animals. He answered questions thoroughly and did a great job engaging the group. Unfortunately, there was very little direct interaction with the animals, which was what we were most looking forward to. I understand this wasn't the farm's fault, but one parent allowed their child to repeatedly chase and disturb the animals, which made them understandably nervous and less willing to interact. It definitely affected the experience for everyone else. My biggest concern was the pricing. We paid over $100, yet others in our group paid much less and appeared to receive the exact same experience. That left us feeling like we didn't get good value for the amount we spent, especially since we chose this as a special birthday outing. Overall, the staff was wonderful, but for the price, I expected a more interactive experience. Like petting the animals. Because of that, I probably wouldn't return.

From our very first tour her professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were top tier. We toured seven venues before choosing Boundary Oak, and it was the combination of stunning grounds and exceptional customer service that sealed the deal for us. Our initial food tasting was decent--typical wedding food--but a new head chef joined about six months before our wedding. The improvement was noticeable and really elevated our reception meal. Our guests raved about the food! If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be regarding the bridal suite. While functional, it could definitely benefit from an upgrade. Adding a private bathroom and a lock on the door would make a huge difference in comfort and privacy for the bride on such an important day. Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Boundary Oak and are so grateful to Angelique and the entire team for helping make our day so special!

I can definitely see why it's such a popular venue for weddings. Parking is very easy with a relatively spacious lot. It's handicap friendly. The GPS instructions were accurate. Be sure to check out their social media or call their number to stay up to date on weekend closures for private events before visiting. The wedding season is around March to November. Communication for event space rentals is by email only. During the wedding season they may a little slower to reply but they always did reply eventually. For weddings they tend to book out about two years in advance for weekends. If you ask about Fridays there may be some same year availability. As a non-profit they are a relatively affordable venue. Weddings require almost full day rentals. But something else like a baby shower or memorial can be rented out by the hour with a minimum time. They require a permit to be purchased for professional photos. But it's a modest price and goes to a good cause. It's $75/hour for the photo permit and for a garden use permit like a small gathering it's $300. Walnut Creek is lucky to have such a beautiful gem. I highly recommend checking them out!

He also provided recommendations & suggestions to help perfect our timeline. Mark was energetic, communicative & responsive, and he was flexible to a few last-minute changes the day of the wedding. He was truly able to read the room/crowd. We felt very comfortable with him throughout the process, especially the day-of.
