This place is truly magical. My family and I come here for events and we just had my daughter's birthday party there. My daughters birthday was out of this world and it's a big thanks to Natalie and Macey. The farm is always so clean and the animals are very well loved and beyond taken care of. I recommend this place to everyone and to check out the events they have posted. It's worth going!

Truly our family's favorite place! We have been coming to Olivenhain Farms for over 3 years and our kids both LOVE it (and we do too!). Ms. Natalie is a phenomenal educator and makes learning fun, experiential and truly transformative. From morning playtimes at the farm to participating in their incredible events to having our daughter's birthday party there, every moment we've spent there has been so special and meaningful to us all. Ms. Natalie made our daughter's birthday so special - from the activities to the time they all got with every animal to the crafts, she's still talking about it six months later! We recommend being part of this magical farm with all our hearts!

Olivenhain Farms is a community treasure!! Our daughter adores Ms. Natalie from the minute they met two years ago. We love her so much! Learning about animals and how to care for them, and learning about farm & gardening has been an invaluable experience! Our daughter has blossomed so much since she first began attending, and we highly recommend all of the fun community gatherings offered. We have also celebrated her birthday on the farm which was perfect & a fun time! Aside from Natalie's heart of gold, there also comes a wonderful community of families who attend and it's a great way to connect & meet new friends.

Olivenhain Farms is such a delightful gem! It's the perfect spot to visit the most adorable little farm, host birthday parties, and celebrate events! I only wish it was open every day for drop-ins because I'd bring my kids so much more often. Farm Kid Fridays are an absolute must if your little ones love farm animals. The animals are so well cared for, and you can just see the passion Natalie has for her farm. Birthday parties here are a blast, with kids getting to interact with the animals, explore the mud kitchen, and play to their hearts' content! They have two mini horses, goats, the sweetest pig named Sweet Pea, chickens, bunnies, and quails. My daughter even tried hard-boiled quail eggs and now prefers them over chicken eggs! My kids never want to leave and always beg to come back, and could spend hours here. I highly recommend Olivenhain Farms!

While we didn't buy anything because we were headed to a show and didn't want it to wilt in the hot car. We were pleased by the variety of offerings. Theodore favorite is rainbow chard and they had some for sale. The staff was friendly, it pay what you can with suggested prices and for those who can't afford veggies you can check out in a special line with staff assistance. I was delighted to discover this hidden gem and will be back to support them!

I love the concept of making fresh food accessible to everyone and anyone. It's such a great mission. The highlight for us was the nature play area; my little one could have stayed there for hours. They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour. We joined the chicken feeding, which was a huge hit thanks to Daniel! We felt very safe throughout our visit, and the security team was incredibly helpful and a special thanks to Stephanie for that. We're already looking forward to our next trip back!

This place is incredible! I stumbled upon this gem online and planned a day trip to SD with my…read morehusband so we can check out SoCal MiniPigs. The animals are so friendly, and the hour just flies by as you feed and spend time with the animals. The pigs love belly rubs and will come up to you for some snuggles! They don't like being picked up though, but if you stay still with a bucket of lettuce they won't leave you alone! :) We also got the VIP Mini Cows package and the owner, Wes, truly treated us like VIPs. We were lucky enough to be the only ones to spend time with the cows, and we got to feed them and lounge in the VIP area. The farm also doubles as an Airbnb with stargazing, and the suites are named after each of the cows! We were only here for a day, but are planning on coming back for the Airbnb and get the full farm and stargazing experience!

Where do I begin? We absolutely loved our visit here! You can tell Wes and his wife love their…read moreanimals so much and take such wonderful care of them. We booked the Mini Pig Experience and added on a visit with the mini cows: Adeline, Shasta, and Sedona. We really enjoyed our conversations with Wes, and he made the entire experience so fun and memorable. Their ranch, along with the time we spent with the beautiful pigs and cows, gave us the chance to disconnect from the stresses of everyday life. We received a complimentary bucket of greens to feed the pigs. Definitely wear clothes you're comfortable getting dirty in - the pigs love the mud, and they also love cuddling up with you! We would love to visit again and stay in their Stargazer Suites that overlook the cows' ranch area!

Found this place while searching for spots to visit with animals, and I'm so glad it popped up!…read moreSuch a fun sanctuary farm. The woman at check‑in was very nice and gave us a map plus a quick rundown of the layout so we knew exactly where to go. I'm obsessed with pigs, so I was very excited to meet their adorable pot‑belly pig at the front named Toffee. Tickets were on the pricier side, but honestly worth it -- the money supports an organization that gives animals of all kinds a safe, loving place to live. They also sell produce grown on the farm, along with drinks and snacks you can enjoy while walking around the grounds. They offer upgraded experiences for an additional cost if you want something more hands‑on. We went on a bright, sunny day, and it was HOT -- definitely recommend sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and comfy walking shoes. I was in heaven here. They have goats, camels, pigs, horses, a zebra, and more. You can easily spend the whole day here -- come early to beat the heat and the crowds. It's truly an animal lovers' paradise and a great place to learn about animals, be outside, and have some fun, all while supporting an amazing nonprofit doing meaningful work. A wholesome, memorable outing and a great day trip for families, friends, or anyone wanting to try something new.

Such a fun experience! So many different animals to feed. It was awesome because it wasn't crowded…read moremy boyfriend and I were able to get a lot of one on one time with the animals just watching them and hanging out with them. The workers and volunteers are amazing and will answer any of your questions. There are there no matter the weather so come on an interesting weather day to see the animals in the habitat! When we went it was a nice sunny day out and some of the animals were just resting in the shade.
