My family had Such a fantastic day enjoying the Oasis Camel Dairy farm. From the back story of how the couple met, to feeding animals to education everything was entertaining and fun. We didn't have little kids with us, but still enjoyed this so much. Our 2hr noon hour tour had about 70ppl on it. We never felt like it was too many in any one place. The owners were so good about answering questions and were very funny! I'd highly recommend this to families who have kids and want to see and visit camels up close. Plan to take a picnic lunch, and plenty of water. The camels were awesome, they definitely wanted our apple treats so, it's worth buying extra.

In addition to plants for landscape, there was a large variety of beautiful succulent pumpkins and really lovely, handmade lotions and exfoliators (with samples). My kiddos were especially thrilled with the DIY succulent station and large pumpkins.

First off it's huge and you are allowed to feed and pet ALL of the animals! They have so much to see! Cows, pigs, camels, and even a zebra!! I never thought in my life I'd pet a zebra, this experience is just incredible! They even have turkeys and peacocks that roam and even came up to us for some food! All of the animals were super friendly and adorable. We even saw the smallest mini horse ever that was so cute. There are also cats that roam the property and one of them followed us throughout the whole place. Can you ask for a cuter tour guide?! They also grow their own produce and sell eggs. We picked and cut our own pumpkins and left with some duck eggs as well! Overall this was just the most fun experience I've ever had. I regret not purchasing the membership because ever since I left I keep thinking about how bad I want to come back! This is definitely a hidden gem and a fantastic experience.

I will make my Costco run and then come in here on my way home to support local business. They have been accepting credit card all this time but when I went in a few days ago the guy tells me I have to use cash or buy something else in order to pay with a card. I'm sorry but no thanks. I don't carry cash and I'm annoyed. You own a business, don't charge me extra to pay with a card. Not to mention I made the extra stop with a sleeping baby who woke up when I took him inside (turns out all for nothing). I will be getting my avocados from Costco now. It was easier that way all along but like I said, trying to shop locally but now I'm over it. Sorry to say but you lost a loyal customer.

This is the second year we've visited the Family Christmas Tree Farm looking for a Christmas tree last minute. Same as last year, we were not sure if we were going to get a Christmas tree since years past it has been an ordeal purchasing, transporting, cutting and placing the tree. But my hesitation is mainly that I'm in an arm cast second holiday/Christmas season in a row, making it extremely difficult for me to help out and leaving all the hard work to hubs. I'm so blessed he's all mine! I love Christmas and of course need a Christmas tree regardless of the situation... so when I say, let's go take a look and see what trees they have, the hubs is all aboard! Located out in El Cajon it is not terribly far away, about 20 min give or take. Each time we've visited, it's been in the evening, not extremely packed busy, a consistent flow of customers coming and going. Our first visit, I didn't know what to expect. It's not a huge Christmas tree farm, big enough to have a good selection of different trees of all sizes. Pre-cut and cut your own. I don't know what it is, maybe under the evening light, the snow flocked trees stood out like a shining star! Two years in a row, we bought a snow flocked tree, last year a Douglas fir, this year a Noble fir and both at an incredible price! Granted, it was the week before Christmas, the trees were both only $99! I loved our first tree last year, but I love this year's tree even more! We came, we saw, I found my perfect tree in under 10 minutes! We both walked around the cut trees and I just knew which one I wanted, but we both made sure there wasn't another that looked better. About 7-8' tall, he was fluffy, evenly spaced branches, perfectly straight center stem at top, he was the one! The process was super simple and fast, all done and ready to go home with 5 minutes! We took our tree tag and paid for it. Next we found an employee that removed the base (optional rebar stand if you want to keep it), bagged our tree and placed it in our car (Tesla MY) and it fit perfectly! We trimmed the trunk base and up it went! With some minor adjustments, we had our Christmas tree all set up! Smoothest year so far! This year's tree was perfect! Absolutely gorgeous! Simply the best!

She told me that she didn't think I put in the right place but we decided to go anyway. We saw that this place was so cute and had so many fun little things to see. At the time there was a sort of craft swap meet too. There were so many creative creators. I almost went broke. They have a decent size store that had about average prices. We got some great deals at the swap meet as well There is a small coffee shop and the lady behind the counter was super friendly. The coffee was average. It could have been less milky but my grandson loved his smoothie. There were a couple of cute chickens in a pen. There is a small sand pit for toddlers and also a swing set for smaller kids as well. There is a flower maze near the beginning The maze does need a bit of a makeover but we still had a nice time looking at the tall sunflowers. They have a small kissing bridge for a cute photo op I will definitely be back with my other grandchildren.

From the live music and coffee shop to the rustic Mercantile barn full of unique finds, every corner invites you to slow down and enjoy the day. The pumpkin patch was incredible -- filled with all kinds of beautiful varieties at prices far below what you'll find in stores. We loved seeing the Highland cows, wandering the gardens, and finding all the perfect little spots for photos. There's plenty of seating, shade, and even a play area for kids. It's free to visit, thoughtfully designed, and clearly run by people who love what they do. Just off Highway 80 in East El Cajon, this is the perfect weekend escape. Can't wait to return!
