From the live music and coffee shop to the rustic Mercantile barn full of unique finds, every corner invites you to slow down and enjoy the day. The pumpkin patch was incredible -- filled with all kinds of beautiful varieties at prices far below what you'll find in stores. We loved seeing the Highland cows, wandering the gardens, and finding all the perfect little spots for photos. There's plenty of seating, shade, and even a play area for kids. It's free to visit, thoughtfully designed, and clearly run by people who love what they do. Just off Highway 80 in East El Cajon, this is the perfect weekend escape. Can't wait to return!

Oma's Family Farm is such a special little gem. Everything feels thoughtfully put together, from…read morethe animals to the open space, and it's such a fun, wholesome experience for kids and parents alike. You can really tell how much care goes into maintaining the farm and creating a welcoming environment. My little one had the best time exploring and interacting with everything. It's one of those places that feels both relaxing and engaging, which is hard to find. I do wish the playground areas were open daily because they're such a highlight and would make it even more of a go-to spot during the week. Overall, we absolutely loved it and can't wait to come back

More stuff to see and do than Bates Nut Farm. I truly wish there was more crowd control with the tickets for the event because it became hard to enjoy after 10am. Like maybe maxing out the event tickets would have been nicer for each time slot. I will plan to be back for the next trucks event definitely!

She delivered them the morning of and everyone was so excited. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Kathy at A Cut Above services!
