Awesome, family friendly farm/farmer's market/cafe restaurant and garden for locals here in the…read moreRancho area. Super friendly staff, and a cozy, well maintained working farm/garden area that is perfect for a Saturday morning with the kids. They have a small playground and a covered area where a "mud kitchen" will keep your kids entertained for quite a while. The cafe runs out of food pretty early, so order up fast. Everyone here seems to wrap up by lunchtime (when it gets warm/hot). Parking can be very restricted in the adjacent lot - you may need to park near the soccer fields and walk a bit. Overall, highly recommended.

There's a lot to see from chickens, a variety of flowers and fields of them with different vegetables and fruits like tomatoes and cucumbers, etc. since it was a work outing and we were all walking together, there wasn't much time to stop and check everything out. So I will probably be back before summer ends. They also had a a couple of greenhouses and I heard from a colleague that they have a little farmer's market on certain days. If you like being out in nature, seeing animals and smelling the flowers, check this place out. It's a free entry to the farm and I think they used to have more animals. I only saw the chickens.

Helped us get a started kit to get everything we needed. Heat lamp, food and water tray, bedding and explained the different types of chickens. Very informative and great customer service. The cashier kinda sucked, he looked like he hated his job and was very dry. Seemed like he was being bothered when I would ask him a question. They have lots of things you would need for all of your barn needs. I did end up paying over a hundred bucks since it was my first time getting everything that I needed. Next time it wont be that much, I hope. Great place to visit and would recommend. If the cashier was more friendly and looked more approachable I would have gave this place 5 stars. If he hates his job maybe he should consider finding a new one.

You might have to bring your own food if you follow a plant-based, whole food diet. No healthy options for plant-based kids. There is a farm stand, so my children just ate fruit.

Urban farming...who knew??…read more I sure as hell didn't! My first experience, and hopefully not my last, was while volunteering at the Autumn Equinox Celebration a few weekends ago. I generally associate Hurley avenue with The Kitchen, the street to the mall, the movie theaters, a bunch of random big box stores/shops...not where I'd find a hidden oasis of urban farming! I can't really review the farming situation, because what I saw was a decked out landscape of food tasting, booze drinking, social responsible being group of people who were supporting an underground culture of urban farming. A friend asked if I'd like to volunteer at this event. Sure, I don't mind donating my services to a good cause. This BY FAR is the most underrated event in Sacramento. I almost don't want to yelp about it, so it stays cool and awesome - but they do cap it off, so get in where you fit in. Every good eatery on the grid and in the Handle district is here. Even some of the good spots off of the grid were here too. There was plenty of food for everyone and booze, no short supply of anything. Unlike most events, IF you even had to wait in a line, it was less than five minutes. The whole event was also "no waste"! For those of you who don't speak hippie, this means no trash was created - we used mini wine glasses, plastic plates, and silverware. The vendors generally just plated everything on your plate, with the exception of a few vendors. Those that did use a serving dish, were made of bamboo or something hippieish of the sorts. After volunteering and consuming their food and booze (this was okayed by the volunteer lead), I realized that I want to volunteer at their actual farm in Rancho Cordova. This event made me want to volunteer my time to their efforts, it is a great non-profit. Everyone was so warm and inviting, and genuinely nice - from the staffers, the other volunteers, the vendors, and the celebrators, not one person had a bad attitude. I am now a believer...I'm ready to get down on some urban farming!

If you look at the filtered reviews, you will find all of them negative. Yet the only review that appears is positive. Yelp is a scam and does not do the public any favors with this.

It wasn't until I wrote him a letter threatening to sue, backed up with evidence of his previous practices, and threatened to call the DA as I believe Paul is committing fraud. We got our pork several days later. We were one of the lucky ones. You should not have to threaten legal action to get the product you paid for. Do not patronize this company.

They all worked on the card and the results blew me away. I wanted to be able to keep it and look at it forever, but it was fragile and needed expert framing. A friend suggested Artistic Edge, and the rest is history. Jessica spent the best part of an hour with me going over all the various possibilities. The color of the frame, the size, the matting, the various parts next to each other, the weight of what would be the final product. She acted like I was the only person of importance throughout all of this back-and-forth as I changed my mind over and over. Finally I was ready, and she said that it would be ready by X amount of time --- probably a bit sooner. Off I went. WEEKS before the date promised Kathy called and said the artwork was ready. When I arrived and saw it displayed I cried --- it was exactly what I wanted and ever so much more! Kathy talked to me --- and LISTENED --- as though I was the most important person in the world at that moment --- I told her all about who made the sticker card artwork and when and why, and she just listened and smiled and chatted and was wonderful. I took my artwork home, hung it up, and took pictures for all the sticker artists to enjoy. Everything has come out perfectly! This is a beautiful, meaningful, lovely piece of art, in the absolutely perfect frame. Artistic Edge did an awesome job --- they respected the artwork, they respected me, they threw their artistic talents into this, and I feel that at the same time they got a kick out of doing it. We all of us have beautiful, meaningful artistic treasures hanging around our homes. I can promise you that if you bring them in, Artistic Edge will give them glory in a whole new dimension!
