Even without visiting during one of Tanaka Farms' scheduled activities, we still had such a great…read moreexperience! Admission was only $6 per person, and children under 2 are free, which makes it an affordable outing for families. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. They answered our questions and gave us information about the farm. The barn is on the smaller side, but there were still plenty of animals to see, including ponies, goats, chickens, and sheep. Outside, we also saw a turkey, horses, cows, and a pig. We visited around 11:30 a.m. on a Friday, and at one point we had the entire barn to ourselves, which made it especially enjoyable with our little one. Storytime for little ones is offered on Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:30 a.m. After visiting the animals, we explored the produce market and were impressed by the variety. They had fresh fruits and vegetables, delicious pastries, breads, jams, and lots of other tasty snacks to browse. If it's your first visit, I'd recommend going during one of their scheduled activities so you can experience the tractor ride as well. There was plenty of parking, and I appreciated that they had a changing table available for babies and toddlers, which made the visit even more family-friendly. Overall, it was a relaxing, low-key outing that's perfect for families with young children. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back to experience more of what Tanaka Farms has to offer!

Janet offers garden tours of about 75-80 minutes for up to 15 people at a flat rate of $150…read more Flexible on days and times. She instills the importance of bees to plants and the stark difference in crops from non-pollinated vs pollinated. She has, in her words, a "small yard homestead." The tour includes her two gardens, tangible demos of what she can make from her bounty, chicken and horse feeding, and viewing placards of beehives and the honey extraction process... plus the beehive box, protective suits and bee frames... just NO bees, forewarning! You can tour the honey house and view the equipment for her honey operation, and sample her honey, plus her lotions and balms. Our group bought the large 12 oz size! Overall an informative tour! But the main attraction of bees could not be witnessed due to the risk of being stung. Janet had a small hive that she showed to us from a distance.

I was introduced to Backyard Bees by Zama Tea & Kobucha. Thank you for your wonderful partnership…read moreto support small businesses and "shop local" preferences! I'm fond of Old Town Tustin and my husband is fond of tea, so we didn't hesitate to check out the little red building. Being relatively new to the area, I began experiencing sinus issues in the mornings. Since I didn't have a cold, my body could have been resisting local pollen and other airborne allergens. A friend suggested that every morning, I take a small spoonful raw, unprocessed honey harvested as close to my neighborhood as possible. The idea is to consistently expose my immune system to become familiar and "play nice" with the allergens. Zama carries BB honey from good ol' Tustin Ranch, Yorba Linda, and Laguna Niguel. I couldn't get closer to home than T-R! While I'm not certain this natural approach is effective, my sinuses have been happier... and my husband said the honey with its antioxidants is healthier than processed sugar. I also learned that BB sells honey at the Tustin Farmers Market on Wednesdays and that funds support efforts to save the bees. The amount of honey it's able to supply depends on the bees as well as rainfall & humidity. * Praying against water-shortages and drought.*

I had a CSA subscription in SF and the produce and service was great. After moving to LA earlier…read morethis year, I wanted to find a local CSA. For those considering signing up, here's a couple pointers: -For $250, you get 10 weekly or bi-weekly pickups at a location conveniently close to you. -However, once you pay that $250 via Paypal, it's gone. If you don't like the produce, too bad. -The veggies are an ok mix but you receive significantly less than other CSA's. Guess I was spoiled. The biggest reason for the two star rating though is because you CAN NEVER, EVER get a hold of their staff. I tried to put my subscription on vacation hold, took 2 days and 8 calls to get through. When I returned from vacation and tried to re-activate, it took, no kidding, ONE WEEK and 20 frigging calls. My SF CSA was essentially a two lady operation and one always got back to us within 48 hours. So there are really no excuses for the nil customer service. UPDATES: THIS F'IN FARM IS THE WORST. They have fallen off the face of the earth. Lesson learn, make sure the farm you're doing a CSA with has a long and proven track record.

We were treated so nicely and it was great to taste their wines and learn about their business. The location is very accessible and it was a great setup to enjoy wine with friends. I loved the passion Chris has when he speaks about the wines. I can't wait to go back and try more when I am in the area.

We immediately walked over and I was trying to get more info on what they're all about and I left confused. I considered hosting a party at blending lab in the past & I was under the impression that we blend our own wine. Yesterday I asked the guy behind the counter some questions and he didn't mention this option at all. He said we can taste wine and pay for a glass...I was actually trying to learn more about the business, not the offerings at the opening party . I'm truly invested in putting beautiful West Adam's on the map, I love and purposely made an effort to move into this neighborhood. Maybe next time I'll learn more about what they'll be offering at this new location. They have a cute interior plus a small outdoor area with string lights. I was a bit surprised the glass of wine was $20 which isn't competitive for this area (the area is not nice enough yet) but I know costs are getting high. I do want to support businesses moving into our community but I'd like them to take into consideration that this is still south LA and a lot of people who grew up in this neighborhood isn't a fan of the gentrification and pricing the businesses charge I do feel for them, people like me moving into the neighborhood hasn't helped but even for me I thought it was a bit much. I'll continued observing but nonetheless am happy to see something be open up. Maybe I'll take a class one day if that's still an option and update my review.
