We went with the venetian shrimp as an appetizer and the roasted half chicken which was the special for the day. The venetian shrimp was okay... the shrimp was cooked well but the polenta was too greasy and buttery and we just picked off the shrimp before we were done with it. The chicken was delicious - roasted perfectly sitting on bed of mashed potatoes, artichoke hearts and tomatoes.

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.)

On top of that, the service was great -- everyone was so kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. It made my birthday dinner feel extra special, and I already can't wait to go back. Highly recommend if you're looking for amazing food and a great atmosphere!

I understand that costs have gone up, but you have to give people a good experience if you want to do more than a takeout business. Service was a little slow, could have been a bit more attentive since there were few customers. Atmosphere is still pleasantly nostalgic, but there were no tablecloths. The place was pretty much empty on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, not the festive environment I've always loved at the Holidays.

My personal SWOT analysis is listed below: Strength: *Famous in California *It offers tours, tastings, workshops, and sells wines *Pioneering Olive Oil *Award-Winning Quality *Historical Significance *Sustainability & Organic Farming *A seat-down outdoor area with scenery for any occasion *Outlet shop in downtown Petaluma Weakness: *The place is in a remote area *The olive oil testing fee is pricey compared with other places we visited in Paso Robles California *Skin products are large and heavy for tourists to take on an airplane or carry on *The table turnover rate is lower than restaurants with food consumption *No restaurant or delicatessen available *They need to hire more staff to maintain the quality of their property Opportunities: *If customer satisfaction is high *If they have good marketing strategies *Not many competitors nearby *More demand *Skin product choices are variable Threats: *If people are not familiar with olive products, they may not like this place *Customers may occupy the tables for a long time during peak season or times *Other places or similar products may have better quality at a lower price with generous portions *An alternative option in the food industry, suppliers, and cosmetics companies Overall, it's a great place to hang out on any occasion with family or small groups. The outdoor area is beautiful and relaxing. Since it is an open space, it could be very hot in summer or cold in winter, or during the rainy season. Moreover, this ranch is also not very noticeable to international tourists. We found it because during the New Year's holiday, many places are closed. So we googled this place while we were staying at the Hampton Inn Petaluma. We are from San Luis Obispo, California. There are many olive oil farms nearby. We not only visited the farms but also tasted the olive oil at a little fee or sometimes even for free.

The property is beautiful and full of other produce as well (fruit trees and vegetables). I definitely would recommend this if anyone is curious about olive oil production and is in the area!
