I just have to say that Brandon and his family are some of the nicest people I have ever met. Since Brandon has bought T J farms, he has worked so very hard to get improvements made for his guests. He has impressed me with his kind hearted Ness for everyone who visits his farm. I did not know Brandon at all until we started working together a year and a half ago. We have a crew of young men and they try very hard to get things done. We replaced the roof on the main house and helped get the kitchen refurbished in the small pickle kitchen. We installed a heat pump and the list goes on. I got to spend lots of time with Brandon and his family. I really appreciate the kind nature of him and his family. They treat everyone so very kind and are always happy to see people who stop by . I just wanted to say thank you Brandon for always being patient with my crew and I. We all really enjoy your friendship. We wish you all the best and your pickles are amazing. God bless Giuseppe and the Pioneer crew. read more

Some really fun stuff like farm animals, grinding corn, tractors and hay ride. But man, oct 10th and pumpkins were basically picked clean. We grabbed some small ones, some white and green/orange ones and the price was super fair but we are going to have to do another pumpkin patch to get good carving pumpkins. I heard Peterson's was the one. read more

I had my baby shower at TJ Farms in Sept 2023. The property looks like a resort and is beyond peaceful. The new owner of the estate, Brandon, is very awesome and very accommodating to your needs. I would definitely recommend TJ Farms to anybody looking for a versatile and beautiful venue to celebrate their wedding, baby shower, birthday, etc. Plus, it is very kid friendly with the goats, chickens, donkey and Gus the goose! read more

Would give 0 stars if possible. Walked into the farm and was not greeted/acknowledge at all. Being our first time there it would've been nice to know what there was but we had to end up finding out for ourselves instead of the gate greeters letting us know. On our way out, we weren't greeted again. Yet they said hi and bye to two different white couples/groups coming and going. I'm truly not one to bring race into things like this but when it's so clear that it's because of our ethnicity that nothing was said to us, it's just sad. Such a disappointment for my 9 month old daughters first pumpkin patch. read more

Had a great time at the pumpkin patch...some real beauties with great big stems!!!! Food to sample and purchase, Dave's Dazzling Dills are not to be forgotten. Hay ride, obstacle course and farm animals for the kiddies!!!! read more

Husband brought the kids and I here for the first time last weekend. We are used to Bishop's in wheatland but it is so overwhelming and we just wanted a nice quiet day. This place was perfect. You walk up and grab a cart, they have cutters in there for you . So helpful. Kids loved getting a ride in it. Pick your pumpkins and then take them inside to get measured and pay. They also have a few local goodies, like pickles and jams. I loved the hot pickles :) They also have a cute little hay ride that goes around the whole pumpkin patch, $3 each. We all thought it was cute. Kids enjoyed feeding the donkeys and running around taking photos in the fun prop signs. They also have a bounce house, and I think it was $1-"$2 per kid. It is small and not a lot to do, but that is exactly what we wanted..it was perfect! And will definitely be back read more

I came here yesterday after the owners were kind enough to give a donation of 2 large pumpkins for a fundraiser I am organizing at work. The farm is beautiful and the pumpkin patch is very plentiful and vast. When I arrived, they were making their own jam and they were very friendly and giving. Thank you for everything you guys do! I will definitely be back for my own pumpkin! read more

Don't go too later in October. Our pumpkins were already rotting by the time we scooped them out for Halloween. Learned a lesson to wear gloves and some form of mask as I am scooping out what smelled like goat crap. No, not kidding. Thank Goodness those things go outside to die... Farm itself is great. Lots of fun things for kids to do. Decent price for what you get. We were saddened to see the onions were no longer being sold. Oh well, beats other pumpkin patches. read more

Farm is cute. Kids liked it. But the pricing makes no since. A girl before me had a pumpkin as big as the wheel barrel it was in. She paid $30 for that pumpkin. I had a pumpkin big enough for my two-year-old to pick up. And that pumpkin was $25. I addressed my concern with the lady and she was very rude and sarcastic. "You want it cheaper? Don't we all". I paid and left because my daughter really wanted this pumpkin. I shouldn't have; but whatever. We will not be going back. We will not be recommending this patch. Go to Petersen sisters; they're cheap and have a bounce house, hay maze and corn pit and pumpkins are $5. read more

This is a nice small scale family farm in Chico. Pumpkins are about $8-$10 for medium size. Hayride goes around the pumpkin patch and costs $3 per head. I think the pumpkins are marked up a little high but...it's really all about the novelty and experience. TJ's gets you in that Fall mood and Halloween spirit read more

Great family farm for fall family fun. Lots of shade and places for pictures, friendly people everywhere. Prices are fair, and the pickles are awesome read more

I wish there were more reviews like this when I was looking for a wedding venue, but there aren't so prepare yourself for my brutally honest feedback and advice for future brides. The property: Best part of this place. When it is cleaned up properly- and by properly I mean my fiance had to go check twice the week of the wedding to make sure they were actually cleaning up the hanging tree limbs, weeds, leaves, and wasps nests they said they would have cleaned up days prior- it is beautiful. The lights on the dance floor really set the mood and the barn is great. Seriously a beautiful venue. The "rentals": So the venue rental includes 175 guests, each guest after that (up to 300) is an extra $10. We had 300 guests at our wedding so that was a large extra chunk of money for us. The $10 covers the extra tables and chairs the owners insist that you rent from "them". Really they just rent them from a local rental company and have them delivered. You would assume "rental fee" would include set up and take down- or at least some help with it- but no. My groomsmen who showed up at 9am Friday morning (a previously agreed upon time with my planner, the owners and my fiance) to load tables and chairs- the half that were there- in the back of their trucks and bring them out from the barn on property. About 30 minutes into the set up- the owner comes out in her bathrobe unaware of what is going on. She said we did not have access to the property until 3pm that day and everyone would need to leave immediately. You can imagine the frustration as my planner postponed meetings to be out there to help guide the groomsmen, who had traveled from out of town to come set up the tables and chairs we had to PAY for. The owners expected everyone to set up the ceremony and reception sites for 300 during our rehearsal that night.. which unfortunately ended up happening. The owners: First, no matter how many times you go out to the property to look, to do a walk through with your planner, to pay, anything!- she will not know who you are. She won't know when your wedding is, what you have previously agreed on, what your name is or even if you have met before. Makes you feel super good as a bride paying thousands of dollars to get married on their property. Second, GET A COPY OF YOUR CONTRACT. Make copies of everything- write everything down. Other than the table and chair fiasco, at that same time we were supposed to deliver our very large second bar to the property. The owner had agreed on a time of delivery and a place for the bar when we did our walk through- when the boys showed up with the trailer she acted as though she had no idea why we had a bar or where the heck we expected to put it. This is one of the things I wish I would have got in writing. We had just spoken to her about all of this less than one week prior and she acted like she didn't know a thing about it. The thing I was happy we had written down was our hard alcohol agreement. We were hassled the night before our wedding about having hard alcohol and that they did not want it on their property- after at the time of signing contracts we agreed on 2 signature cocktails with no more than 2 different types of alcohol. Luckily, my planner could remind her that she indeed agree upon that. Third, Both owners are VERY present throughout your whole wedding. The first thing I was asked right after my ceremony was if I noticed the owners pacing back and forth RIGHT BEHIND my ceremony. This was put to my attention by guests at my wedding and then again by my photographer who was concerned with her being in pictures! It makes me so sad that they couldn't respect my ceremony enough to not be walking right behind us during the whole thing! The second time this issue was needed addressing was when my dad who, 90 MINUTES before our contracted time was up, approached the owner to encourage them to stop walking table to table cleaning up and making my guests feel uncomfortable. We/the team of planners had a whole clean up crew on site and ready to clean things up when the night was over. When this happened the owner approached ME, the BRIDE, to complain that this is the first time that she has ever had a wedding where neither the father of the bride or the bride "knew what was going on" after I had told her that all questions/concerns could be directed to my AMAZING coordinator. I cannot believe she felt okay with making me feel uncomfortable/embarrassed in front of my friends and family (this happened right next to the photo booth where there were A LOT of people around). She truly put a huge damper on the night- luckily I was able to brush it off with the help of my friends. All in all, if you are looking for a beautiful venue- this is the place. But- and I really do not like being so negative- the owners are very unpleasant. I really wish they would consider the bride, groom, their friends and their family's feelings before putting them in an uncomfortable situation. read more

Horrible with people, stick to the farming. The place is beautiful and makes for nice pictures and pleasantly surprised out of town guests. Is it worth putting up with the owners??? You decide. Mary and Dave Moss run the venue. Dave is a nice and reasonable man. Mary is the opposite. Make sure that you get everything she says down in writing because she can not remember what she said one week to the next. It made it very confusing and stressful. She is also the most unprofessional person I've ever met. Just a week before the wedding Mary said that I had agreed to shut down at 9:30 pm (our contract clearly stated otherwise) and I told her I had no idea what she was talking about (maybe she was thinking of someone else???) and she threw a fit on the phone and then hung up on me! I was shocked. I am a polite and easy going person so I could not believe how rude she was being. We had to go out to the farm a few days later to make some final decisions on set up and I told her (politely but truthfully) that I thought what she did was rude and unprofessional. She denied hanging up on me at first (I think she was surprised that I would call her out on it in front of her husband and my fiance) but in the end apologized. I actually felt kind of bad for Dave because he seemed embarrassed of her and offered excuses for her behavior. I just don't think that the bride should have to be subjected to such crappy service. During the wedding things were fine and we had no problems with either Dave or Mary. Like I said, the place is really pretty. Don't expect much for what you pay though. You have to set up all the tables and chairs yourself prior to the wedding. That means that after the ceremony, (while you're taking pictures) your guests will probably be the ones bringing your ceremony chairs to their tables so that they can sit. Afterwards, Dave and Mary will put the tables and chairs away. That does not include take-down of anything else. Now we are about 7 weeks out from the wedding and there is no return deposit in sight! Mind you, the deposit is $700, on top of the $3000 we already spent to the rent the place for half a day. Today my husband called Mary again (he called twice already this week, once leaving a message with no return call) and was told that the deposit is in the mail. When he asked how much we were getting back, Mary said "I can't tell you, it's in the letter" and then slammed down the phone!!! She hung up on him too! In my personal opinion, Mary is so overwhelmed with running weddings that she is not capable of doing a good or professional job. It does not appear that they have enough help running the venue and so they are constantly stressed out and difficult to work with. It's like going to any place that is understaffed and overworked. This was not a pleasant experience by any means. This place has to be REALLY worth it to you. Keep in mind that it will not be easy working with Mary. I too had warnings from 2 different brides who both said "the place is beautiful but the owners are crazy". They were right. Good luck if you go with TJ Farms. read more

Booked a wedding here BECAUSE of the cooled barn. Not cool, no really, swamp coolers either aren't sufficient or just don't work!!! Everyone sweated thru dinner. Owners gave different lame excuses! The the few people that smoked, were treated very rude even tho the smokers went all the way out to the street to be polite. Rude old couple and exorborent price. NOT WORTH IT. Will never recommend this place to ANYONE! read more

TJ Farms is a great family place. I have been there many times throughout my life and have always been treated with respect. Dave and Mary are pillars of the community and do an amazing job with their venues. Thank you for opening your beautiful farm to the public so we can all enjoy!! P.S. Daves dazzling dill pickles are to die for and the poppyseed dressing a great alternative to many dressings on the market. Keep up the good work! read more

$35 for 3 pumpkins! Ridiculous! I was very disappointed in this"local"business. From now on I will make the drive to wheatland and go to bishops farm, where I won't get over charged to supply my family with a little but of family fun! read more

I was so happy to find this wedding venue! I knew I wanted an outdoor barn setting, and this venue is exactly that with beautiful trees and landscaping all around, making for great picture options. The owners were great to work with, answered all of my questions when I called, and were flexible in letting me come out to the venue and walk the property for all of my planning. They also have so many items on the property and in their various buildings that they were so open to letting us use. Old metal wash bins, coolers, wood furniture and all different fun rustic things that they said we were welcome to move and use wherever and however we liked. They also provide tables, chairs, a nice wine barrel ice chest, large rolling wood buffet table, and rolling rustic bar. We had so much fun planning and decorating the venue to exactly what my husband and I had dreamed of. They even let us use their home to come out of their double doors off the side of the house for the ceremony to get to the gazebo. There is a bridal room on site as well for just the bridal team to get ready in. I have no complaints and am so happy that I chose this venue for my wedding. Our wedding was all outdoors on September 17th. I'm greatful for the owners advice to have my reception outdoors, as 150-180 in the barn in the summer would have been too hot. Outside was a beautiful setting, plenty of room, and mostly shaded. We used the barn for serving our food, bar, and dessert table. It was my dream wedding and I thank Mary and Dave for sharing their home with us for our special day. read more

This place is a very lovely farm. Great pumpkins and views. Though they have caused a lot of problems to my group today. We all felt unwelcome. We were told to be there we need to spend some money. Another issue is we came with a church group. I am legally blind and have a guide dog. I was questioned upon arriving about my guide dog. Then I had to deal with the person working not controlling their pet dog. We started into the pumpkin patch where again I was questioned if I was blind and if it was legal to have my dog. We explained I am and this is completely illegal to ask or kick us off. They left us alone but continued to let their pet dog's interact and be around mine with out controlling them. Finally as we were leaving one of the older working employees started to pet my working dog. When I asked her to stop. She rudely said "if your blind how can you see me here". I felt insulted and very hurt. This customer service was not okay and should be reported more. read more

We recently used Tj farms for a memorial service. At a stressful tiime the peaceful and beautiful grounds were a comforting experience.the natural setting and convenience of the kitchen facilities were an added plus.Mary and Dave were very supportive and went the extra mile to provide us with just what we were looking for in the way of a private and exceptional setting. We thank them for their extra efforts. read more

This is a lovely property for a wedding venue. I wish I could write that the experience was lovely as well. Unfortunately, we experienced some unpleasant interactions with the owners on event day. Most everything leading up to the event was handled well, although the owner would often forget what we had agreed to in the contract and needed to be reminded often. My biggest concern was the appearance of the owner in the middle of the reception more than 90 minutes before our event was scheduled to end. She began wandering from table to table accosting the guests asking who was going to clean everything up. We had a clean-up crew on standby near the barn and she had already spoken to them, so we just couldn't figure out why she didn't understand that it would be handled. Even after she was told directly by me (parent of the bride) that it was taken care of, she approached the bride and spoke to her rudely. Not what I expected at all, and. certainly not in the middle of the reception. At one point her husband appeared and just stood near the barn with his arms crossed looking annoyed. Our guests couldn't help but notice them and it made a lot of people uncomfortable. The entire interaction put a damper on an otherwise joyous day. I would skip this place unless you want an angry stalker to join your reception. read more

Mary and Dave Moss, who are the owners of TJ Farms have one good thing going for them, and that is the beautiful property they have. As far as customer service goes, they are your best friends until they get your money. My husband and I paid 3100.00 to have our wedding there and we and our guests were treated like children. Mary Moss changed arrangements with us many times, the last being 1 week before our wedding when she informed us that we could not hire our own bartender but we had to hire her own son. He was the laziest person I have encountered in a long time. Our own wedding guests had to change kegs and restock the bar as the night progressed. The icing on the wedding cake was the end of the evening when my bridesmaids were loading gifts in the car, and Dave Moss physically put his hands on a young lady and pushed her and told her to"get the hell out of here". He is lucky we never pressed charges. The worst part of the evening though, was Mary Moss coming out in her pajamas in the middle of our reception and starting to clean up. I guess that was actually pretty comical for our guests as she seemed pretty out of it. I know Dave and Mary Moss must have been embarrased by both of their behaviors, as they tried to win us over with their awful salad dressing and pickles. Over three thousand dollars and they give us pickles and salad dressing. Thankfully though we truly enjoyed our special day thanks to all of our friends and family. My advice, call The White Ranch!!! Those people are amazing and I know this firsthand!!! read more

Took my 18 month old there for the pumpkin patch and it was really great and the women at the front desk was super nice. If we lived in the area would def take my daughter there. Great place to take the toddlers. read more

I have to say, this is the worst pumpkin patch I have ever gone to. Their website stated they were open until dark. Yelp says they're open until 8:30pm. My husband and I and our 2 children, along with my siblings and their children arrive at the "farm" at 5:45pm. First thing we notice in the "guest" parking lot was a hand written sign stating they closed at 6pm. As soon as we got out of our cars, the owner started shouting from her front porch asking if we had just called. We told her, "no." She stated that unfortunately they closed at 6pm and that it would not be worth our time to start the kids out on the "farm" because it would take them 30 mins to an hr to "get over it." We told her the website stated they were open until dark (and at 6pm there was still plenty of daylight) and that they need to fix it because there could be people coming from out of town. In reply, she stated that 6pm was late for them already and that they've had a long day. Instead, she suggested we come on the weekend. Then she walked off. Having looked over the "farm." I would say that we could've made it through the whole thing in less than 10 mins. I can see why admission is free. With that kind of attitude, apparently they don't need the business and can pick and choose what hours and customers they see. It sad that in trying to support a locally run business, we get tossed aside as if our business wasn't worth her time anyways. This is why we will be going to Bishops Pumpkin Patch in Wheatland instead. For families who work 8-5pm, and have a love one who works weekends, this place would not be idea. They run their business on business hours, so if you're planning to make a trip here, make sure you take time off of work. But then again, if you're taking time off, why not make the trip worth it and go somewhere where you're actually wanted. In summary: rude customer service, inability to keep up with technology and lack of compassion for working families. I would not recommend anyone to come here. After reading the rest of the posts, now I can understand why people would refer to the owner as crazy and rude. I concur with those statements. Ps. I would give it no stars, but at least 1 is required. read more

My family and I did not expect this pumpkin patch to be so much fun! We are not from the area and pumpkin patches around here include pre-cut pumpkins at Macy's parking lots. The pumpkins at TJ Farms are still on the vine, and we loved it! There are hay rides for kids, animal (donkeys, lambs, turkey, chickens) viewing for children, as well as others activities. I think this place is a must. Our 20 month old son loved it. Made us wish we lived closer. read more
