When I visited in October they had tons of pumpkins and fall items on display. Inside of the shop they have an assortment of honeys, and even offer honey tastings! They had many unique culinary items like flavored salts, spices, olive oils, etc. And they also had some beautiful chocolate truffles. I left with gifts for many of my loved ones and also some for myself. I wish I lived closer to this shop! I'd be in all of the time.

It's a fun experience and we usually make a whole bunch of pies for the holidays. They have some animals for the kids to visit and learn about. They also have some very nice yard art which when it's on sale - is an amazing buy. I bought two decorative yard windmills and they both look great. And they have some amazing sauces and other sundry items in there - I particularly like the barbecue sauces. They are definitely worth checking out a couple times a year no matter what.

Went to check out and pay for the pumpkins and the staff was friendly. They even have ice cream and waters for sale. And if pumpkin picking wasn't enough, you can pay to go through the corn maze. Its only $5 per person. If you've never gone through a corn maze, you should as it is fun. Haven't been to theirs but I'm sure it's just as fun as others I've been to.

River K provided all the perks of a traditional farm-like pumpkin patch with tons of photo opportunities, and free admission! The location was perfect, less than 10 minutes from downtown but still supplied a countryside feel. The open area was vast and well-decorated for fall. There were plenty of fun Halloween themed boards with face cutouts for photos which had us all laughing. I wanted to give River K a higher rating but unfortunately the majority of pumpkins were beginning to go bad (9 days before Halloween) and my family could not find a carvable pumpkin. Additionally, the corn maze was a decent size but was not very challenging for the price of $7 to enter.

This 8 day leisurely drive to and from SF was beautiful and stopping at will and experiencing this farm in San Luis Obispo was so peaceful and fun. Open fields for acres, a beautiful calm in the air, no loud noise and no horns or city sounds, beautiful flowers in every color that greet you and make you smile; apples and then more gorgeous and delicious apples that you leisurely pick and place in the basket that fills up fast. A wonderful and warm Manager Olivia who lives in the area and loves what she does. A lovely store with Halloween Knick knacks and jars of honey and other delicious items. A nice area for kids to play. We loved the SLO Creek Farms just off the 101 in San Luis Obispo.

I grew up on a small farm in agricultural area, so I'm not as interested as my friends were. Hearing the cows say moo and sheep say baa made me chuckle a bit. The shop is worth browsing because they have lots of gifts, fresh produce, jams, sauces, honey, and baked goods. The pies looked especially good, but regretfully we didn't get one. Everything is well organized, so it's easy to find what you want without feeling overwhelmed. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. Definitely a nice place to stop by if you're in the area!

If you're hungry you can grab a roasted ear of corn. There are many treats to grab and go. Jams, pies, fresh produce all in a charming environment. My only disappointment is there aren't any savory items to grab and go, which seems like a missed revenue opportunity. I was hoping to grab a sandwich cold or to go salad. If there was a small space dedicated for the customer looking for a quick healthy meal to go, I think it would be a welcome addition to an already wonderful spot.

I have been fortunate enough to have visited the ranch on a number of occasions and am always blown away. I don't think I have ever pulled onto the property without seeing deer in the field behind the barn. With Holly at the helm, guests can rest assured that their day will be everything they hoped for. With amenities that include a gorgeous guest house, tented banquet area, stunning, historical barn, full bar access, outdoor ceremony area, and more, Tar Creek is an exceptional venue choice. If the Central Coast is the location you've chosen for your destination wedding or event, I highly recommend you book a tour of this stunning property.

Matthew the owner and Holly the venue manager are so easy to work with. We told them what we were looking for in a venue and they checked all our boxes. We absolutely love the property and our guests were so impressed wondering how we even found the place. The propane fire pits are large and fully inflamed at night, perfect for our elderly family members that get cold easily. The two-way bar is so much fun and keeps your cocktail hour and reception so concise. Our bartender said it's one of their favorite bars to work at. The inside of the barn is absolutely stunning and we love having the option to do the reception dinner inside or outside. The ranch house was the perfect compliment for the rehearsal dinner, and getting ready the day of. Having the entire grounds for the wedding weekend is such a luxury. Everything is modern and elegant while maintaining the relaxing rustic ranch vibe we were going for. As we were leaving the property two days after getting married, I was getting emotional as I realized how much I'll miss this place. The only thing I regret is not exploring the property more as there is a lot of surrounding wilderness to enjoy. Fortunately you can rent the ranch house on Airbnb, which I can't wait to do for future anniversaries.
