Your kids will love seeing them. The Alpacas have lots of space and they all seem to get along. It is sad to see this place go. We will miss it.

I think I was so intrigued with what she was sharing that I didn't catch her name. With that said, it actually was my favorite part! If in the area, I would recommend booking this! Great for all ages :)

I had such a fun time at Peltzer Pumpkin Farm this past weekend! September 19th marked thei 30…read moreyears of pumpkins and 10 years of wine, so it was a really fun weekend to visit. We got there around 6:30 just before sunset and there was a good amount of people and families, but it never felt too overwhelming. Parking was pretty efficient. We did notice another lot closer to the pumpkin patch, but the walk from where we parked was only about five minutes so it really wasn't bad. I loved the decorations and overall layout of the farm. Admission into the pumpkin farm is $4 Friday through Sunday and $2 Monday through Thursday, which I thought was pretty reasonable. There was a lot going on around the property with different activities, food, drinks, and even live music. I tried their Killer Marg and it was soooo delicious. It had a really fresh citrusy flavor where you could actually taste the fruit. I do wish there were a few more dedicated photo ops throughout the pumpkin patch because I think that would add even more to the experience, especially around sunset. Besides that, there was plenty to walk around and see. Coming right before sunset was also such a good choice because the farm looked so pretty as the sun was going down. Overall, such a cute fall activity and I would definitely come back!

There are tons of photo opportunities throughout the pumpkin patch, which I loved. There are also carnival-style games, a train ride, and pony rides, so there's definitely enough to keep the kids entertained. Train ride: 6 tickets per person Pony ride: 10 tickets per person There are also carnival games that require tickets. The biggest downside for me was the food selection. There really wasn't a lot offered when we went -- basically kettle corn was the main food option we saw. I was expecting more fall/pumpkin-patch food choices, especially for the price of admission and activities. Prices: Most activities are an additional ticket cost, so the total can add up quickly depending on how many activities you do. Parking: Parking is available on-site, which made bringing the kids pretty convenient. Overall, I'd give it 3.5/5. I'd still recommend it for families who want cute fall pictures, carnival games, a train ride, and pony rides, but I'd definitely eat beforehand or plan on having another meal afterward because the food options are limited.

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 really enjoyed our conversations with Wes, and he made the entire experience so fun and memorable.

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!

It's a cute, small farm right across from the San Diego Botanic Garden with easy parking right out front. They have miniature ponies, goats, a pig, rabbits, chickens and quail. The experience was very hands-on the kids fed the animals lettuce and Cheerios, brushed the ponies, went inside the rabbit enclosures, and got to interact with the pig and chickens outside their pens. They also had painting activities, a super cute mud kitchen with bubbles and utensils, and ended with fresh fruit in the shade and story time. Just wholesome, messy toddler fun! The instructor was great with the kids--laid-back, friendly and informative. I think the Monday morning session is especially perfect for kids under 4. We drove up from Chula Vista, so I'm not sure I'd make the drive specifically to do the same session again, but it was absolutely worth experiencing once for $40 and we had a great time! Bonus: walk across the street to the San Diego Botanic Garden afterward and make a whole day out of it!

That's why we were extremely disappointed to purchase a flat of eggs directly from the farm on 9/11, only to learn afterward that Happy Hens had issued a voluntary Salmonella recall on 9/8. CDPH specifically states that recalled eggs were available for purchase directly at the Ramona farm. My understanding is that the FDA found Salmonella Enteritidis in 2 of the farm's 7 hen houses, and whole-genome sequencing showed that the Salmonella matched the strain found in sick individuals. As of September 8, there were 23 reported illnesses and 7 hospitalizations. We are reasonable people and understand that investigations happen and that things can go wrong. What we cannot understand is being allowed to purchase a flat of eggs after a voluntary recall had already been issued, without anyone saying a word. They were happy to take our money. Had we known, we obviously would not have purchased the eggs at this time. After years of intentionally supporting this business, we feel completely blindsided. This has seriously shaken our trust. Very disappointing.
