The welcome drink was delicious and perfect for a warm afternoon, they served a whiskey Suntory (will definitely be buying). Soon after we were let into the event, the space was at the pool (wish i would have worn sandals to soak my feet). I was surprised with the amount of ramen that was given, I definitely had food coma by the 3rd bowl; but that definitely didn't stop me from taking a break and chumming down the 2 last bowls. I definitely plan on going back to this festival next year! awesome experience and even met new people.

We've been to Stow House several times. First was maybe five or six years ago. We were able to…read moretake a tour of the inside of the historic home at that time. That was before we discovered the "Passport 2 History" program. When we did get the Passport and reviewed which spots were in it, I was glad to see this property listed, as an incentive to go back. We made a return visit two months ago, on a warm Saturday afternoon. It was lovely to see the vintage architecture spotlighted against a brilliant autumn sky. Warmer than usual, with no wind, it was a great time to be at the property. There was a young woman covering the gift shop. She told us that while the grounds were open, they weren't able to offer tours of the house that day. "Shortage of docents". I don't know the situation with who currently owns / runs the house - is it a foundation, the City, the County? Many historic properties were deeded by descendants of original owners to local municipalities to be shared with the public going forward. I'm sure that it's a challenge for any legacy property like this to get enough docents lined up, trained, and scheduled. They would mostly be volunteers, after all. While it was disappointing to not revisit the interior of the mansion, we did collect out P2H sticker, then spent time wandering the grounds. That was something we hadn't done previously. The lawn areas and mature palm trees are serene and beautiful. Going around the perimeter of the main house yielded new views I don't recall before. We snapped some photos, then adjourned to the train museum next door. The next time we're in the area, we'll call ahead to see if they are offering tours that day. Might be wise to do the same!

The knowledgeable and friendly staff at the Stow House ensured that our visit was both informative…read moreand enjoyable. They provided insightful details about the history of the house and its significance to the Goleta community, adding depth and meaning to my tour. Their passion for preserving the heritage of the Stow House was evident, and their commitment to its upkeep was truly appreciated. Inside the house, I was transported back in time as I wandered through the rooms filled with old furnishings and captivating artifacts. The attention to detail in preserving the authenticity of each room was impressive. I found myself envisioning the lives of the Stow family and the lives they used to live. Beforehand, we watched a show "Ghost Adventures" claiming the house was haunted and the stow family members may still live there, which kind of gave the tour a spooky touch. All in all, it is a great way to appreciate what it used to be like here in old town Goleta. Check it out!

This review is for the Farmstand at Fairview Gardens. Specifically, the Farmstand's delivery…read moreprogram. Taking Covid-19 very seriously, I've been isolating for most of the year and only getting groceries by delivery or from friends willing to pick things up while they shop. A few weeks ago, I started receiving once-weekly deliveries from the Farmstand. Wednesdays during Farmstand hours, I get a bag full of goodies and so far, so great. I love knowing that my seasonal produce is grown locally and organically. All of the items have been fresh and delicious, from a punnet of the sweetest, most sun-kissed yellow cherry tomatoes to heads of lettuce, zucchini and squash, and bunches of rainbow chard (so good sautéed with garlic!) I don't choose what's in my produce bags, but I've been very satisfied with the diverse selections. The assortment is $20 each and seems to be curated differently by the week. There's more info about the Farmstand, Covid-safe shopping, and pickup and delivery on the website. Thanks Farmstand, for keeping me cooking with tasty, newly-harvested local fruits and veggies during the pandemic.

* A lovely oasis! *…read more I first heard of this place in a documentary that I saw in Vancouver a while back. When I saw the film I knew I wanted to see the farm itself. This farm has been around since 1895, and claims to be the oldest organic farm in Southern California. It clearly is the last bit of farming left in an area that has become incredibly suburban. What an oasis! On their little parcel of land (about 12 acres) the have an incredible variety of fruits and vegetables - at least a hundred or so - including some rather unique heirloom varieties. There is a decent sized produce stand with a beautiful selection of organic fruits and veggies, and some very friendly helpful staff behind the counter to answer any questions about the products or the farm itself. If you wander past the stand onto the actual farm you can take a free self-guided tour that is really nicely set up. We wandered through the fields and found little signs every now and then telling you something interesting about organic produce, what you were looking at, or my favourite which described the difference between free range chickens and other kinds. (Those chickens running around providing natural fertilizer were fun to watch as well - they travel in packs!) This spot really makes for a wonderful afternoon of wandering around and getting back to the earth. And the carrots we got were the sweetest carrots I have had in a long LONG time! Delicious!

But what really got my 100% approval was the service and knowledge about their beer selection because in case you are indecisive on what kind of beer to get, do not worry they got you!

You're encouraged to sit, lay down, relax and absorb. There's a gentle soundtrack playing, curated specifically for each exhibit. Each chamber is so interesting and relaxing. Everyone was very respectful and courteous which made the exhibit even more special! I'm following architects of air on Instagram so that I know when their exhibits will be back on my area.
