When we arrived it looked like not much was in bloom, but our pitchers were soon stuffed with a variety of of cut flowers, decorative grasses and greens. We loved the experience of choosing each piece and making our own bouquets. What I learned was that other beds will be in bloom later as the season progresses. Actually, they had blooms into the fall last year! I can't wait for the dahlias in August and see what blooms in October! I went back today and it was fun to see what was still in bloom and what was new. There are so many different flowers and decorative grasses, etc. that you just don't see in stores. I also got a snapdragon start last time and it looks so good in our garden I got a few more. They have other starts too if you want some cut flower plants closer to home.

We finally found this place and were so excited to try it! It was my first visit to the area and it was absolutely gorgeous to drive out there. The orchard is lovely and the staff are so kind, attentive and informative. I called ahead to check that they have parking on site and that helped alot! When you get there staff helps with parking and then you go get the U pick supplies and make your way to the orchard. The green apples were limited but we found alot of red ones. The experience was fabulous! After picking we paid for the apples and got some fresh organic apple slushies along with some sweet treats! Absolutely 10/10 We enjoyed this in the orchard and it was really charming! Highly recommend this specially with kids! Note- They have bathrooms on site and you can pay with cash or card to get the apples.

The gentle and kind owner of the farm, Shepard, dedicated a good 15 min on the phone with my husband answering all questions and sharing info about picking options. He then followed up within a couple of weeks to schedule our blackberry picking date. We showed up and were treated to a private picking experience on his very peaceful and lovingly cared for land. We picked a whole flat for a very reasonable price and enjoyed chatting with Shepard. You can order berries and pick up or show up to pick yourself. I look forward to making this an annual family experience. Lots more blackberries! Go get your hands on those juicy berries and happy summer!

Then I noticed that only the top layer of berries were large and succulent. Underneath, there were inferior mini-berries, most of which were not sweet. I ended up throwing away about 25% of my purchase. About a month ago, because of the scarcity of boysenberries in our area, I decided I'd try one more time. Up front, I told the owner about last year's experience. He assured me this year would be better. . He also told me I was #3 on his waiting list. Well, over a month has gone by, and his repeated promises of delivery came and went;.l I finally determined that my placement on his list was BS.

It is wise to step outside your environment and, in the case of this current venture, go visit an Alpaca farm. The Menagerie Hill ranch has beautiful animals. The host was awesome and knowledgeable. We increased our knowledge of the animals and of the farm but also got to feed them. We also had the opportunities to get close and personal with them for pictures. They were all friendly and fluffy. I recommend this unique experience for all because if you do not just break your usual pattern to stop and smell the roses or to pet and feed an Alpaca, life will pass by before you know it. Put your life on pause just for a few hours and go see the Alpacas. They would like to share peace with you. You can find them at the Menagerie Hill Ranch

We stayed in touch over the next several weeks before settling on an August date. We braved the high temps and winding roads to arrive at the ranch. It's a beautiful space on a hillside and you can see the herd and their guardian llama as you pull into the parking lot. We learned a lot about the alpaca life cycle, fed the boys, and my daughter got to hold and carry a cria. We bought two cute alpaca shaped soaps. I didn't experience any of the negativity others have complained about. It is a working ranch so it's not a petting zoo or a tourist attraction. Go with the flow and you'll have a great experience.

I've been going here for years now and they are the nicest most wonderful people who give good tours and have wonderful silly and snuggly baby goats! They give you real time with them and don't have a forced amount of time on each part of the tour - unlike Harley goat farm. You can skip the tour and just hung with the baby goats the whole time if you want! Also can come early or stay late depending on when if there's another tour that day. I get enough time with the baby goats - and I loooove baby goats so that's saying something! Bring a meal if you want to eat and hangout at their picnic tables. I've gotten to milk the goats a few times, feed the adults, be there for a goat birth (just happened while on the tour!), and have all the baby goat snuggles and silliness. Love the family farm, love the folks who run the baby goat tours/visits. Also a cute town to go into after for food, beverage, also wine tastings nearby. I recommend a second set of clothes to change into after in case you get dirty (goats are relatively clean, but they're goats so not like indoor pets. I let the baby goats climb all over me.)
