    Her response to my receipt message. I simply stated the downpour of rained caused us to leave after 15 min and we wanted to stay longer
    Staci W.

    If I could give zero stars I would. The owner is so rude and lacks the customer service skills you would expect from a business owner. I went w family on opening weekend to get some pumpkins for my home and work. We knew it might sprinkle that day and had umbrellas but it was a small chance for rain so we went. To my surprise it was $25 just to enter which is ridiculous but we drove out there so I paid it m. they have gorgeous pumpkins and I heard good things but the owner tarnished it all. I responded to their receipt (not in public) about the rain and my service dog who was in the car. I also wanted to buy more pumpkins but the rain just wouldn't allow it. I said it would be nice if maybe they gave us a pass for another day because we had to leave after 15 min. I would return to get more had they made that offer The owner responded so rudely. Saying the rain passed in 23 min, that my dog barked uncontrollably etc etc. all lies. The rain was off and on for 2-4 hours. I can handle some rain but it was a down pour and everyone packed up and left. Also my 8 lbs dog barked when the kid at the gate came to the window and she only barked once!! She's a service dog and is with me all of the time. Then the owner made some weird comment about us parking outside of the gate which we didn't! We drove inside and parked. She made a comment about checking her website before hand which I did and it said nothing about service dogs, weather or anything weird. I specifically looked and went to their "contact us" page prior - but whatever - her farm isn't the only farm of this kind and there are several that are equally great farms in the area. I was legit shocked by how she attacked me. I wasn't negative or rude in my initial "private" comment. I won't be returning and I'll make sure others are warned before going. Wish I was warned. Also I didn't text her I responded to a receipt I never gave her my cell or agreed to be texted or harassed like this. When I said I would just go to yelp she suddenly got nice and stopped texting me. I don't post on yelp because I hate the purpose of it - however I feel I need to post this (and I noticed there was another post similar to mine) in hopes that the owner will treat all of her clients with respect and kindness.

    All the activities are more geared for little ones, but was somewhat blind sided by how much it was going to cost! I didn't see any mention on their website. Pulled up to the entrance and told it was $25 for parking and 2 rides. I drove quite a ways out so I did end up paying it. Not sure it was worth the money, felt that 15-20 would be. The only downside was the hay ride, it was super rickety and felt like I was gunna fall off. All the other activities were very cute and perfect for photos

    Great scenery. Not much to do on the day that me and my family went. My son enjoyed the animals but outside of that not much left.

    My family and I really had a good experience coming to This farm. It's my toddler's first pumpkin…read morepatch, and she was bananas about it. This cute farm had so much to do. We were first greeted by a man and he told us where to park. Super nice and let us know what to expect at our visit. They have lots of chickens! My baby and so many other kids there loved it. We then moved over to check out our four legged friends. There was a cow, 2 donkeys, and many goats! They aren't shy and will come up to the gate and meet you. Super neat for the little ones to see. The third area we checked out is their pumpkin patch. They have beautiful displays of pumpkins of all colors! Lots of decors for you and your family to take some pictures and capturing some beautiful memories. You can walk over to where the pumpkin grows and purchase some if you like. Support local! If you're looking for some freshly cut flowers to take with you home, you can go cut some at the farm. I believe they are $40 for a bucket! Finally, you can check out where they sell goat cheese from the goat milk they get from the farm. At the pumpkin patch you and your family can hitch a hay ride for free. By far my favorite pumpkin patch I've ever been too. When I went there were food trucks which made it convenient for family to grab some bites if they are hungry. Restroom was also open for attendees.

    We won a pass though Yelp to checkout their pumpkin patch. The farm is pretty far away from me but…read moreworth the drive. Upon arrival an older gentleman stopped our car and explained to us all they had to offer. My son was extremely excited to find out they had baby goats, chickens and donkeys there. The farm is really big and everything is well spaced out if you're concerned about being around a lot of people. We checked out the animals first. The baby goats were so adorable. Then the chickens were in their own area and it was really cool to see their eggs too. After that we went to the barn area were they had vendors selling home made crafts and desserts. We got some yummy rice crispy treats that were really big for only 3 bucks. Outside of the barn they had little tractors set up for kids and a cute seating area to take your fall pumpkin patch pics. Beyond that area they had picnic tables and tons of other cute spots to take photos. We were informed you could pick a pumpkin from any of the areas they had pumpkins or actually go into the field to pick a pumpkin. I'd suggest wearing a good pair of shoes because it's a huge dirt area. My son went crazy and filled our cart with lots of little pumpkins. They are very reasonable priced too. We paid 22 dollars for 12 little pumpkins. Most places charge per pound but they actually have set prices. After picking pumpkins we went to get lunch from the food truck they had out there. First I had to stop and buy cheese from their farm. I got a Brie and some pomegranate jelly. It was a really great combination. The lady selling the cheese sells charcuterie boxes too. Not anything big but a snack size to have something while relaxing at the farm. We had a very fun filled day and appreciate Yelp for the pass. So if you're in the area definitely check out this farm. Oh yeah they're starting to have dinners there on certain nights too. It's Beautiful farm with lots to do.

    Just updating my review from 2years ago/my last visit. My sister and I along with our kids came…read moreback to follow tradition of taking the kids to the pumpkin patch. It was my son's first time he's 17months, I have an almost 4 yo and my nephew is 8yo. We normally visit the beginning for the month but this past weekend was the only weekend that worked with our schedule and they do recommend visiting earlier since it's not as busy. We arrived just alittle around 11am there was a line at the entrance. Entrance fee is $10/car (suggest carpooling). There was definitely quite a bit of ppl. From reading recent reviews I'd said our experience was better than theirs despite the busy weekend. Thankfully they allowed us in to park, it was busy and we ended up parking on the second dirt lot. We did our normal train ride and hayride. The line for the train ride was extremely long we waited about an hour. But it was also my first time experiencing the train going all the way down to the pumpkin patch area. Which was quite nice, the ride was longer and it saved us a trip walking down hill with our littles. The hayride was probably a 15-20min wait. The prices had little to no change since our last visit 2 years ago. We decided to eat some tacos at Charlie's since they weren't busy and it was the closest food vendor also prices were very reasonable. Ordered 4 tacos and one quesadillas for the kids and it was pretty good, the service was fast and friendly. They addressed the long wait issues and reassured the public that they are working on getting another train, working on a bridge to alleviate the traffic and getting more staff. Overall I do highly recommend going the weekend in the beginning of the month to avoid long waits and the crowds. We did see so many vendors on the area where the train rides were but we were just to tired and so were the kids that we didn't get to check it out. Perhaps next year. The kids had fun regardless. The staff we encountered were nice.

    We come almost every year to this place. It is very nice and they have plenty of things to do…read more There is a train to take you to the pumpkins so you can pick one. And take you back to the beginning. There is also a tractor ride that also takes you to see the whole place. The rides are beautiful both of them. I love the trees and the decorations and everything. They do a very good job arranging everything. We came last year and we bought tickets for the train but there was a bee attack. I had a flowery blouse and they were on me all the time I was there. So we had to leave. Good thing I saved the tickets and they honored them this time. They told me if I don't used them that day I could come in Christmas and use them then. I thought it was nice that they do that. So we used two tickets and now we have a good excuse to come back on Christmas. yay! The prices are modest. Everyone around were enjoying themselves. Very fantastic place to spend the evening. They only open on weekends though. So plan ahead.

    We drove over to this Pumpkin place to pick out some special pumpkins and have some fun. When we…read morearrived we were so surprised to see that there was an Admission charge to get in to spend money. How crazy is that?!! We could see that it did not look that impressive and it didn't look like there were that many pumpkins, so we decided to leave there and go to the one on Nees Ave that does not charge extra to spend money.

They do have a food and snacks out here before you enter and after you enter the pumpkin patch. They have so much available below: Slides - Must Purchase Tickets Haunted House - Must Purchase Tickets Amusement Rides - Must Purchase Tickets Pony Rides - Cash or Card ONLY Pumpkins- Cash or Card ONLY Face Painting - Cash Only Photos - Not sure if they do cards but DEF cash Pictures - Cash (not sure if they do cards ) And so much more! They had a lot of huge and medium pumpkins but not a lot of mini pumpkins. They also had snack station which advertised Churros but they didn't have any Churros :( Tickets were expensive so we just enjoyed the experience of picking out Pumpkins and taking pictures and getting cotton Candy for the girls. I left my cards at my parents house :( so I didn't get to treat my nieces to much. But it turned out to be a pleasant outing either way! We left early as it looked like it was going to rain and don't want the littles to get or sick! We weighed the pumpkins which was $22 not bad at all. Looking forward to cooking with pumpkin meat to make soups, cookies and other dishes! Great Pumpkin Patch for all ages! Go before it rains! So many pumpkins to choose from and fun activities.

    This is a beautiful family-owned farm in the Fresno foothills. I have been several times in late…read morespring/early summer to pick or purchase cherries, and just recently went with a group to pick pomegranates in the fall. I think they may also have a berry patch, but I haven't been for that. Mountain Brook Ranch is a great place to bring the family to enjoy some time outdoors and to pick fruit fresh from the tree. It is easy to spot from the road, and has a lovely farm stand right next to a gravel parking area. Depending on the season, the farm stand has jams and the seasonally fresh/ripe fruit ready for you to buy if you don't want to pick your own. They also have buckets and pruning shears to cut the fruit off the trees available for those who want to pick their own. Please note that usually only certain trees or rows are available to pick from, depending on which trees have ripe fruit and which trees they are saving for other things. Surrounded by beautiful rolling foothills, this is a great family activity, and a great place to take photos while you enjoy time outside. Follow them on Facebook to get updates on when they'll be opened and when fruit is ready. And bring cash or check, as they do not accept credit cards.

He even walked with us over to the pomegranate trees to help us! We got to sample some of the pomegranates that were already splitting on the trees and we were sold! Sweet and juicy regardless of the size (with some variation of course) but overall we bought about 60 pomegranates and it was the best decision of the week! Highly recommend bringing the family while they offer U-pick!
