I saw this place on social media and decided to come check it out with my husband. The reservation…read moreprocess was easy, you have to text the farm and send payment to reserve your spot. It's additional to do meet and greet with the farm animals. The total was $40 per person for our visit on a weekend. Once arrived, farmer Mike greeted us and walked us through the farm. They have donkeys and goats from Stardust Sanctuary you can see but cannot pet. We got to see pigs, bunnies, babydoll sheep, and highland cows. Farmer Mike was really patient with all the little ones on the tour and made sure to give precautions (don't chase the animals, etc). Overall we had a great time, at the end, farmer Mike even brought a baby pig for us to see and pet. Definitely an experience that is great for children, but my husband and I still enjoyed the tour.

We took our 4 year old here for his birthday, and while we enjoyed parts of the visit, we left…read morefeeling like it wasn't the best value for what we paid. The highlight of the experience was the owner's son, who led our tour. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and clearly passionate about the animals. He answered questions thoroughly and did a great job engaging the group. Unfortunately, there was very little direct interaction with the animals, which was what we were most looking forward to. I understand this wasn't the farm's fault, but one parent allowed their child to repeatedly chase and disturb the animals, which made them understandably nervous and less willing to interact. It definitely affected the experience for everyone else. My biggest concern was the pricing. We paid over $100, yet others in our group paid much less and appeared to receive the exact same experience. That left us feeling like we didn't get good value for the amount we spent, especially since we chose this as a special birthday outing. Overall, the staff was wonderful, but for the price, I expected a more interactive experience. Like petting the animals. Because of that, I probably wouldn't return.

I can definitely see why it's such a popular venue for weddings. Parking is very easy with a relatively spacious lot. It's handicap friendly. The GPS instructions were accurate. Be sure to check out their social media or call their number to stay up to date on weekend closures for private events before visiting. The wedding season is around March to November. Communication for event space rentals is by email only. During the wedding season they may a little slower to reply but they always did reply eventually. For weddings they tend to book out about two years in advance for weekends. If you ask about Fridays there may be some same year availability. As a non-profit they are a relatively affordable venue. Weddings require almost full day rentals. But something else like a baby shower or memorial can be rented out by the hour with a minimum time. They require a permit to be purchased for professional photos. But it's a modest price and goes to a good cause. It's $75/hour for the photo permit and for a garden use permit like a small gathering it's $300. Walnut Creek is lucky to have such a beautiful gem. I highly recommend checking them out!

As part of the process, Mark shares an online planner that makes it simple to request specific "must-play" songs as well as any songs that you do not want played during the event. During our live call, Mark made several suggestions about various aspects of the wedding that we hadn't even thought of, for instance, the song we wanted our wedding party to walk down the aisle to, the song that would play after our ceremony finished, the cocktail hour music vs. dinner music, and more. He also provided recommendations & suggestions to help perfect our timeline. Mark was energetic, communicative & responsive, and he was flexible to a few last-minute changes the day of the wedding. He was truly able to read the room/crowd. We felt very comfortable with him throughout the process, especially the day-of. All of our friends & family raved about Mark's emceeing as well as the music that he played. Finally, his pricing was also very reasonable and included uplighting. We would highly recommend Mark for your next event!
