Sweet sweet Nova
Francis C.

This place is magical. We had such a great experience spending the morning at this farm. Stephanie was really sweet and patient with our group, who was just loving all that there is to see here. This is such a great experience for the price and she teaches you a lot about the garden and animals as we go. Not to mention, the care she puts in having snacks for you is so welcomed. Her lemon bars are delicious! I would recommend this experience for anyone, it's not just for kids. You get to pet sheep, cows, chickens, sweet sweet Nova the dog. You can feed the animals and pick eggs.

We visited Stephanie's bio-diverse farm as a group of 4 and had a wonderful time! Stephanie was an excellent host and took great care to ensure that the experience was safe and socially distanced ! During our visit, we interacted with hens, sheep, rabbits and horses and learnt a lot about life on a farm. I'd highly recommend this place to folks of all of age-groups who are looking to have a fun time outdoors.

This place is so cute!!! The owner Stephanie was wonderful she answered literally all of our annoying questions and was so patient with our group. We got to do way more than I imagined, feeding allllll the animals (goats, horses, cows, chickens, bunnies, sheep and doggos!). Picking out eggs, fresh out of the coop! There was even a baby chick roaming about which was so cute! The snack she made us with all the ingredients from her farm were so yummy, we got fresh baked bread, egg salad, their super delicious honey, plums and fruit infused water! We got to walk the miniature horses and ended the day browsing through her gift shop and walked away with fresh eggs! I can't wait to return again, thank you for a wonderful experience! I recommend wearing pants/long sleeves! You are outdoors the entire time, we walked away with some bug bites but nothing crazy! Bring something to drink and something to keep the sun out of your eyes! Expect to be tired after feeding cute animals for 3 hours my husband and I both took a nap immediately after!

We had a blast at the Nest Box! We signed up for the 2 hour private tour, and Stephanie was an excellent and patient host. We got to feed the goats and sheep weed salad that we had collected from the farm grounds. Got to hold days old lamb, so cute!! Picked up and petted chicken - our favorite animal of the day was Silky the Cochin hen, she was so chill and cuddly! We hand fed the cows granola. Got to feed the chicken and collected fresh eggs. Walked and petted the miniature horse, and lastly petted, fed and brushed the bunnies too! Stephanie also served us with some yummy snacks - home made meyer lemon bars, duck egg salad and meyer lemon water, made from the lemons and eggs from the farm. Stephanie was very friendly, patient with the kids, and overall the perfect host! All the animals look happy and the farm was super clean. We could tell that the animals are super well taken care of. Thank you for a super awesome day!

This farm is a true paradise for tomato lovers. Every summer we go from farm to farm and farmers…read moremarket to farmers market searching for the best tomatoes, and this place easily became our favorite. When we think of delicious heirloom tomatoes and more varieties, this is the only spot that comes to mind. Tomatoes here are unbelievably flavorful, and the Brad's Atomic Grape variety is on another level. During tomato season, you simply park outside and pick your own, which is such a fun and thoughtful idea. Their tomatoes made our summer meals so special, and we're already looking forward to coming back next season

First time visiting this farm during a community Local Makers Market event on 4/20 called Spring…read moreTomato Starter Plant Sale. Came here on the annual tomato starter tomato event. Online Catalog offered 30 varieties to choose from for $10 a plant. However on the day, they offered 47 tomato varieties (see pic) The Local Makers Market event also had local owned business booths, from a flower van, champagne, crafts, olive oil booth, salsa booth, bath products like lotions and potions and likely a dozen more I can't recall. A food truck called "Pupusa Lady" and of course I ordered 2 empanadas. Delicious ! Parking was easy as one actually parks on the main road. Not sure if there was other parking. All in all, it was a warm breezy day and amazed how many ppl were buying these starter tomato plants. Even the owner was in the midst talking to customers. So glad they accepted plastic. Process was super easy as one finds the vanities, grab the pot (and free cardboard box, if needed), then walk to "cashier" table and pay. I bought 4 varieties : Brandywine, Nepal, Martha Washington and Tasmanian Chocolate. Tip: During the tomato season, This farm offers an honesty cart where they leave their beautiful tomatoes of the season on a cart outside and one pays based on prices and place payment in a lock box or similar. I haven't experienced that YET as tomato season is not yet here. But once summer arrives and on my way to the Gilroy Outlets, I'll be sure to buy fresh in season tomatoes.

We visited the tortoise ranch today with three first grade classes, and it was honestly my favorite…read morefield trip I've been on so far, and my son's favorite too! The kids and adults all learned so much about tortoises, and the whole experience was incredibly informative, hands-on, and just so cool. How often do you get to get up close and personal with giant tortoises like that?! The owners were so knowledgeable and kind to open up their home and space to all of us. You can tell how much they care about their animals and sharing what they know with kids. Such a fun and unique experience, and we can't wait to come back again with my youngest for his field trip!

Well- i'm not want to give bad reviews, but I would say this particular tortoise home to learn…read moreabout turtles is definitely for older children versus younger. As a mother, and a teacher for TK/kindergartners, and with a 80 year-old Owner I believe the gentleman running this tortoise ranch needs a bit of an update. He is very much a man of the times which is fine because he reminds me of my old grandpa who was short into the point but somewhat blunt. His wife also repeated everything he said and reiterated it numerous times and would get more annoyed at my five-year- old classroom children as they, like most children do, would forget things. They both seem to get rather irritated with the younger group of children. I felt bad for the children getting reprimanded, and I did have to raise my own voice to ask the wife to talk to the children in a nicer tone, and I felt bad for the children as well since they forget things right after they said. That being said, the older fifth graders that went on this tortoise tour rather enjoyed it, but they found a few vocabulary words funny, and later asked us, " what's a drug sniffing dog?" And " how can sex change an animal?" which were both statements spoken to both (younger-TK & Kinders AND older 3rd-5th graders) Group of children. Ughhhhh Since we're in Silicon Valley, verbally speaking to children for 20 minutes about concepts of tortoises or any animal without a visual aid is very cumbersome. My TK and kindergarten children cannot sit still for a five minute digital book let alone sit still for 20 minutes and three of them started to fall asleep as they sat crisscross, applesauce, and nodded their heads off. One of my five-year-olds could not sit still, and he got up a couple of times and the owner reprimanded him and raised his voice saying, "hey you take a seat! " it was rather alarming to my five year-old classroom child so I had to whisper and talk to him off to the side so he didn't start crying. The tortoise feeding is very interesting and they have strict protocols!! The owners are very aware that most parents do not watch their children, but as a educator/teacher, we are constantly supervising our children, so the ratio was 1 to 14, and we would only allow about eight children in the tortoise area with four teachers watching. We rotated through our children since we had a rather large group, but it seemed to bother the owners because not all the children were in the pin at the same time. It seemed a bit chaotic but then again we also had a group of about 35 children in a rather small space. Overall, I do not think we will ever come back to this particular tortoise ranch, but they were rather interesting, and I really do worry about the cleanliness of everything since the tortoises walk, eat and poop, and pee all in the same vicinities of where we were walking. We made sure all the children wiped off their feet at the park nearby, and some of them stepped in tortoise number two, so they were rather disgusted, and their shoes stunk. On a happier note, I'm glad some of the children got to see tortoises granted at least five of my children were terrified of the animals and their hard shells. Lol then again they are four and five years old and everything is new to them. We would've been better off going to the library.Hee

We did the $90 tour where you spend two hours learning about the farm, learning about the goats…read more Part of the experience was learning how to milk the goats! Then we got to see where the cheese is made and even personalize a goat cheese of our own. This was a really unique and interesting experience. I will have to come back in the spring when they have baby goats. The little shop is cute and sells their goat cheese and other products. With doing the tour, we got a 10% discount on the additional cheese we bought.

It's worth the trip. - Starting around February/March you can see the baby goats; they are bigger in the summer. - Their goat cheese products have less of a gamey goat flavor; it's more of a clean tangy flavor from the salty ocean breeze. - Afterward, I recommend stopping at Arcangeli Grocery in town to pick up some of their bread. - Sante Arcangeli winery has wine tasting in the second floor hay loft.
