California Farm Life

“California Farm Life is the hidden gem of pumpkin season. While it’s a bit of a drive, it’s worth it… (read below for detailed review) 1) As one of the largest suppliers to Southern California of pumpkins they pumped out around 1M lbs of pumpkins this year. 2) the selection of pumpkins available for choosing is extensive and daunting (in all the good ways)… we spent 30 minutes looking for the “perfect pumpkin”. 3) we discovered blue pumpkins and purple pumpkins… the colors are incredible here 4) pumpkin fudge will change your life. I mean it. We’re big fudge people and this was life altering. They should sell it in all the stores. I’m dreaming about it still because we finished the container in 2 minutes. 5) you can smash pumpkins with a wooden hammer and then feed them to the cows. Repeat. You can smash pumpkins. And feed to cows. This was super cool and the big reason we initially made the decision to drive out (little did we know the rest was in store). 6) the people are amazing. Super friendly. Super accommodating. They let us play with their dogs for a long time. Helped our kids feed the lamb which was super cool. 7) you get to use a wheel barrow to find your pumpkins. Feels rustic in all the good ways. 8) you can ride tractors and drive them around. Super cool. 9) lots of decorations and other things to look at.”

“I make an effort to come here every October. Out of all the pumpkin patches in the area I find this one to be the best. What sets it apart is the vast variety of pumpkins. They even have adorable pocket pumpkins! Staff is very accommodating, including the farm dog and kiddos. I always enjoy smashing a pumpkin to feed to the cows. Each year, the decor is unique so it is fun to explore the entire property. Tarot readings, snack bar and a gift shop complete the entire experience. Great for kids, families and child free couples alike. You gotta check this place out!”

“It's truly the best pumpkin patch I've ever visited, and it's incredibly family-oriented.The customer service was excellent, and there were so many fun activities, including individual tractor rides, "smash a pumpkin," and "catch a fish." They also had a fantastic maze, and they sold delicious cookies and cakes.I highly recommend it!”

“Now this is a real pumpkin patch. They have more pumpkin varieties than I have ever seen. (Did you know there are blue and pink pumpkins?) They are grown on site. They have other nice services going on as well. The customer service was so nice and friendly. This will be are new yearly tradition.”

“We love bringing our grandson each year! All of the actovities are so fun, he loves sitting on all the tractors, and the PUMPKINS!!! So many colors, sizes, and varieties. We always come home with so many ....oh, and baked goodies, too.”

“The flowers were beautiful when we went. The farm is a wonderful place to take the kids or in my case the grandkids to run and get away from the city life. I would add photos but I don’t know how. You really have to check it out.”

“Best pumpkin patch and best kept secret in all of San Diego county! Thousands of pumpkins and family activities. Don’t forget to try/buy the homemade pumpkin fudge! It’s a amazing!”

“Very nice place, great atmosphere and service. Tractor rides are individual so each kid has an opportunity to drive!!”
