By subscription: through our “CSA” (community supported agriculture) program, we offer a biweekly “best of farm” pickup service (minimum order $50 per pickup). “Best of farm” customers are guaranteed your choice of goat cheese, eggs, and/or yogurt as staples, then subject to availability, herbs, lettuce, tomatoes, chard, kale, peppers, squash, or whatever is "best of farm” when we prepare your order.
As we greatly appreciate your patronage, we always give something special to our CSA customers, maybe it is a new variety we are trialing, or perhaps a little extra of your known favorites as we build your profile.
The farm store is open seven days a week, 365 days a year from 10 am to 6 pm. We often open it earlier (~8ish) and keep it open later (~8ish). If you want to make sure the store is open before you stop by, feel free to call or text (408) 204-2085.
Mini-tours are available by appointment only Monday through Friday after 2 pm, and Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays after 10 am until 4 pm. Free parking.
Farm Tour
Our full farm tours include a walk around our five-acre farm where you will view many species of plants in our forest, wetlands, pond, gardens, raised beds and greenhouse areas. You can play “name that plant” and participate in a treasure hunt for prizes. You’ll get to meet our “chicken of the day” and pet our goats. You may even be able to milk a goat or take a goat cart ride! We provide farm snacks and local cranberry juice, and you can bring or buy your lunch or dinner and eat in one of our picnic areas.
All are welcome at the farm! However, if you are under the age of 16 and not with a school group, we ask you bring a parent or guardian along with you.

Agritourism blends agriculture with tourism, inviting the public to working farms, ranches, and vineyards for enjoyment, fun, and educational. Agritourism is "one leg of the stool" to keep farm income balanced while offering "city slickers" and country folk alike authentic rural experiences, such as U-pick berries, farm stays, corn mazes, goat milking lessons, how to feed animals, etc.
Key Components and Activities
Agritourism is quite diverse and like much of farming, often celebratory of the seasons. These include roadside stands, u-pick fruit/vegetable patches, cut-your-own Christmas trees, farms.
Educational Experiences:
School tours, farm visits, demonstrations, and workshops.
Recreation & Entertainment:
Goat-drawn carts, corn mazes, hayrides, barn dances, and harvest festivals.
Hospitality & Accommodation: Farm stays, dude ranches, and overnight stays in converted farmhouses, cabins, tents, and RVs.
Hospitality & Food: Winery tours, tasting rooms, and farm-to-table dining.
Benefits of Agritourism
For Farmers: Increases income, adds value to existing operations, and helps educate the public on where food comes from.
For Visitors: Offers unique, hands-on, and authentic rural, cultural, and educational experiences.
For Communities: Supports rural economic development and preserves local culture, traditions, and farmland. (Did you know Pacific County has lost 16% of its farms in the last five years?)
