Alondra made my visit today 5/30/26 super enjoyable. Her customer service is top touch! We had an awesome chicken sandwich, fantastic Mac and cheese, outstanding artichoke and roasted . What actually made it one of my best trips to the barn was Alondra. Her customer service was top noch. I'm looking forward notch to my next visit. read more

What a fun stop when in Avila Beach! My boyfriend and I stopped here on our drive back down to Ventura from Paso Robles. The animals are so adorable and the little market has the best variety of goodies for yourself and for gifts! Plus, the food here is very yummy and the ambiance in general is just homey and relaxing. I could see coming here with small kids or even as a cute little day date as we did. It's not too big but also not super small. Their Ollaliberry pie is DELICIOUS and I highly recommend picking up some of their baked goods to bring back home! read more

Such a fun spot! You can feed and pet barn animals like goats, chickens, cows, and sheep, which makes it a great stop if you're into that. I grew up on a small farm in agricultural area, so I'm not as interested as my friends were. Hearing the cows say moo and sheep say baa made me chuckle a bit. The shop is worth browsing because they have lots of gifts, fresh produce, jams, sauces, honey, and baked goods. The pies looked especially good, but regretfully we didn't get one. Everything is well organized, so it's easy to find what you want without feeling overwhelmed. Staff were friendly and helpful, which made the visit even better. Definitely a nice place to stop by if you're in the area! read more

A must stop if you're in the area. Great for families to stretch their legs on a road trip. There's an outdoor "Zoo" to visit the animals. If you're hungry you can grab a roasted ear of corn. There are many treats to grab and go. Jams, pies, fresh produce all in a charming environment. My only disappointment is there aren't any savory items to grab and go, which seems like a missed revenue opportunity. I was hoping to grab a sandwich cold or to go salad. If there was a small space dedicated for the customer looking for a quick healthy meal to go, I think it would be a welcome addition to an already wonderful spot. read more

Just do yourself a favor and grab a cookie. Ohmuhgoodness! SO yummy! This little stop was a treat for us on our way from staying in Pismo over to Avila. It's on a very convenient road so easy to stop in on our way in or out of town. There were yard games, animals, a tractor ride, and shop. We had the corn (great!) and picked up some fruit to take back to our hotel. But seriously... The peanut butter cookies! YUM! We especially appreciated how open this space was and how much there was to see. Had we come with the kids, they would have loved it also! Everyone we came into contact with was super kind. Can't wait to go back one day when we're back in the area! read more

Oh, I love this place. I've been taking my daughter here since she was a little and even at seventeen she still wants to come back. Our favorite activity is feeding those rascal goats some delicious lettuce. We also stopped in for strawberries (SO GOOD), cherries, pastries, and a special stop into their sweet shop for some AMAZING strawberry shortcake. Can't wait to come back again! Such great people working here too, so friendly and welcoming. read more

This is a wondeful place to take kids for an experience to fed some farm animals and ride a flatbed pulled by a tracktor (free) to pick seasional fruit in a field - a awsome. The the HomeGoods area is awesome and has it changed? They have lots of jams, pickles etc and kitchen goods and a wonderful toy area with old fashioned toys. A decade-+ ago there was a great vegetable and fruit farmers market with fair prices, but the vegies are mostly gone and limited fruits, though the lattet i think are local and fresh in season. The bakery is still there with the same great beaked goods. However, it seema like prices are 20% marked up -28-30$ a pie, roasted ear of corn 6$ and a sandwich at the snackbar is 20$!! The was a wonderful huge ice cream bar and fresh candy counter and that has been remodeled, one it tiny now and the other gone - mostly an empty space now. Way to expensive for locals now overall, clearly now a tourist trap, sadly. On a weekend this was packed in the past; have to assume prices now exclude locals. read more

Today was the perfect day to visit this adorable little place. They have a cute barn where you can buy small cups of food for just a few dollars to feed the animals, which is perfect for children. The kids absolutely love interacting with the animals. They also offer hay rides that last about 10 minutes, which adds to the fun farm experience. There's a huge shop filled with local honey, homemade pies, fresh fruits and vegetables, and lots of cute little items you can purchase. One of my favorite treats was the roasted corn. You can load it up with mayonnaise, chili powder, Tajín, and butter -- it's absolutely delicious. They also have the cutest candy and ice cream shop, and the ice cream was really good. If you've never been here, you definitely have to check it out, especially if you have kids. It's a fun, charming place that makes for a great family outing. read more

The animals and overall aesthetic here are great! We had such a fun day should our daughter around. So many animals to feed and see. You can purchase lettuce in the barn to feed to the animals. The barn had so many options and so many different treats and souvenirs you can take home. The only downside was when we were checking out with nobody else in line, our cashier Alondra made it seem like we were such an inconvenience to her. We felt extremely rushed and it threw off the entire vibe of the whole place. Seemed like such a family friendly environment until we encountered that experience. read more

Avila barn will always have my heart, I have been coming here my entire life and for the first time I was able to bring my 1 year old to experience this special place. She loved the animals and atmosphere! We had a great time until we stopped in the store to buy items: Alondra was the cashier and she was rude and kept trying to rush me through the transaction. There was no one in line behind me and I was looking around really quick to buy some jerky and honey sticks which were at the register. She acted like we were so inconvenient to her when she was standing there doing nothing. Wish we had a different cashier but besides that everything else was wonderful! read more

It's always such a special treat to come visit Avila Barn!!! They have good food / treats, farm animals to visit, and other fun activities like apple picking and hay rides. It's a good place to come with your family or friends or even a date. I always make sure to get a cup of apple cider when I visit. They also have really good corn, sandwiches, and ice cream. There is also a shop that is full of goodies to purchase. The staff does a good job keeping it tidy with how busy it can get. When I used to live in the area I used to come quite often, but now that I live in Los Angeles it's extra special to come here! read more

Avila Valley Barn is my one must stop in the central coast- the animals, fresh produce, fruit, made to order meals, seasonal offerings, pies, market, shop... Staff is generally helpful and friendly- the barn is typically busy, meaning the staff are also busy. Parking is a dirt lot, if it rains, there's mud- it's a barn/farm- wear proper footwear. They offer train rides seasonally, Christmas trees, pumpkins etc. It's a nice farm experience, weather is usually nice. Market is laid out well, they even have a children's section for gifts. Feeding the animals is the absolute best. read more

Color me a Believer! The reviews on Avila Valley Barn were spot on. I've been to various farms and pumpkin patches over the years, but this was the coolest farm I've ever been to! And definitely the first I've ever been compelled to write a review about... The grounds are very well taken care of with ample parking, clean bathrooms, and a neat farmer's market to buy fresh produce. Best $3 bucks ever for a head of lettuce to see the gleeful smiles of my kids feeding the goats and donkeys :) My 4-year old daughter had the time of her life riding a pony for the first time, and we loved watching every second of it as well. To top it off, there was an old-fashioned ice cream parlor inside, her favorite dessert! During a time when the world can seem a bit crazy, Avila Valley Barn was a welcome feast of simple pleasures. Thank you for the wonderful memories from our family! read more

Dear Avila Valley Barn, I had no expectations coming here other than knowing it was close to the 101 freeway and it was a great place to stop. And, indeed, it was a great stop during our drive up the Central Coast. There were families and people of all ages and walks of life at your little farm. There were plenty of places to park and we got lucky finding a shaded spot under a tree near the entrance. There were plenty of things to see here from an ice cream barn on the left, a produce and small market in the middle, a corn on the cob stand, and an area to feed the little goats to the right - and plenty more animals around back. Avila Valley Barn had a variety of fruits and snacks available but I made sure to stand in the long (but fast) line for fresh roasted corn on the cob. It was delicious! We even bought some raspberries to snack on for the ride back. Too bad you were out of your apple cider but that only means I'd have to make a return visit. I did, however, make sure I purchased two of your pumpkin loaves and a giant cookie since all your other loaves were sold out. Oh, and your ice cream was so creamy. It was so delicious on a hot July afternoon. I enjoyed my first visit and I know it won't be my last. I dream of coming back to Avila Valley Barn. Until next time... Sincerely, Your newest Avila Valley Barn fan read more

Great family stop on the way to the beach. The animals look so healthy and happy and are fun to feed, it's $3 for a big thing of romaine lettuce. They have lots of bathrooms and hand washing stations. You can pick your own fruit or do a truck hayride. They have food for lunch and lots of goodies in the gift shop. Prices are for tourists. We got a souvenir - toy for kiddo small horse stuffy $19 and iced coffee $6 that should have been $3 but what can you do. Employees were nice but seemed a little flustered with the big crowds. read more

Fresh roasted corn, homemade pies, and you get the feed the goats - what more could a girl ask for??!!! This was my favorite spot in Avila Beach. I was in town two weeks and came here 3 times. The fresh produce and gifts are also amazing. We bought a olollie berry turnover, a peach and blueberry pie, and fresh roasted corn. All three were perfect!!! I'll never pass up a chance to feed goats - you pay $3 for a head of romaine to feed them. It brings such joy! read more

We had an amazing time at Avila Valley Barn! What was meant to be just a stop to pick up their famous pies turned into such an awesome lunch experience. The brisket sandwich and fried chicken sandwich were phenomenal -- juicy, flavorful, and way better than we expected. The chili and artichoke were delicious too. What a pleasant surprise! The setting is super cute and clean, and the whole place feels like a relaxed, charming farm-to-table spot. The views and outdoor picnic areas make it feel like a great day trip destination. What makes this place especially fun for kids (and adults too) is the farm animal experience. You can walk around and hand-feed animals like goats, sheep, chickens, and friendly farm creatures -- and kids love it. They even have a miniature Scottish Highlander cow, pygmy goats, an emu, and a resident farm cat that roam and interact with visitors. Feeding the animals with lettuce you can buy on site makes it a memorable, hands-on kind of visit. There are also seasonal activities like pony rides, hayrides, and U-pick produce that add to the fun for families. We only came with just me and my husband this time, but we definitely want to bring the kids next time -- they would absolutely love it. Between the view, the pies, the BBQ, and the farm animals, this place is a must-visit! read more

Avila Barn is always a sweet little getaway. I'm from Bakersfield, California so the drive is not too far. This gem is always a good time. They have fresh pies, live stock, fresh veggies, fruit, jam, and roasted corn. Oh a sweet candy shop, serving ice cream, bbq, and drinks. We came for the pumpkin patch and brought our dogs. The barn property is big and the staff are always ready to help. I would recommend this place. read more

Love this place. They have so much amazing food, gifts, and the petting zoo is really fun. There are almost too many choices of homemade baked goods, fruit, produce, and other sauces, jams, jellies, drink mixes, and so much more to choose from. It's great coming here to get a bite to eat, pets the animals, and grab some gifts, all while feeling good about supporting a small local business. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

Love the Barn!! Great pies and all kinds of gourmet products. Yummy street corn through the summer.

I was disappointed with the strawberries I got here. They got moldy quickly and were not ripened correctly. I considered getting some corn on the cob and change my mind as they were a dollar per piece. I also thought of getting a hot tri tip sandwich. Changed my mind when I saw the meat being rolled outside uncovered in an area with a lot of dust and farm animals. They don't carry dairy so my plan to get some heavy cream to make whip cream for the strawberries did not go forward. Lot of people visiting so parking nearby was full. They have a back lot. read more

I decided to visit Avila Valley Barn this year to get pumpkins and take the family to a pumpkin patch. What a fun place! There's plenty things to do with the family from feeding or petting the animals to the hay maze and tractor ride. They have baked goods, ice cream, and food on site though we did not eat there. The staff was friendly and helpful. We will definitely consider this option next year. Well behaved dogs allowed so Stella got to go with. read more

Absolutely love this little farm!! I took my daughters here when they were babies and we all had such a great time feeding the animals and taking pictures. So when I was in the area I couldn't wait to come back. Farm is well kept. There is 2 separate buildings one that had ice cream and gifts and the other had more gifts & grocery items. It was cash only for food 4 the animals. I bought something in the gift shop and was able to get cash . Kids had a great time feeding the animals. Lots of fun.

What a dope spot in SLO. They have great food, barnyard animals, and some delicious pies that are totally worth taking home. They sell lettuce heads to feed the animals and totally worth it. The animals are super cute and friendly. We ended up eating at the barbeque place and the food was pretty solid. We took pastries and pies to eat at home. They were so delicious and fresh. If you're in SLO this is a must stop for great food and some entertainment. Parking - Wasn't too bad but it rained recently making the lot super muddy. It's a dirt lot so it can be bad if it rains so wear the correct shoes and expect them to potentially get dirty. read more

Such a cute place they have plenty of parking. You can feed the goats, llamas bowls and other animals. They have heads of Romain lettuce that you could buy to feed them. I believe it's three dollars each. There's a five dollar hayride that takes you around the farm kids, I believe under two or three are free. You could shop inside where the farmers market is there's different knickknacks treats bakeries ice cream and you could also buy roasted corn, which is probably my best part. read more
