Back to Underwood Family Farms again for Strawberry picking! I do not know what it is, but these…read morestrawberries are some of the best I've had. Do they taste better because I picked them myself? I don't know! Yes? Regardless, they are delicious. The staff here is always so friendly and they are so welcoming to large groups. This is a great place to run the kids around and there are plenty of activities you can do for free or a small cost, like animal feeding, rides etc. My son loves all the playgrounds! Definitely recommend Underwood if you are looking for a party venue! The kids love it and it's a beautiful space!

Capitalism is very loud here. I used to take my son to the…read moreMP location weekly before Covid. It was a great place to let him run around and wasnt expensive. I stopped going once they started charging $20 per person for the "festival" entry fee. Before 2025, the Somis location was free to go pick berries. Last year they started charging $3 to walk back there now 2026 it's $5 to walk back there. I know $5 in retrospect doesn't seem like a lot, but it's really sad to see how greedy these owners have become. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. you lost a loyal customer

So while driving through our extended neighborhood I ran into Patys Farm and was i surprised. The half flat of strawberries I purchased were out of this world; juicy, sweet and large . Besides strawberries they have a good selection of avocados, grapes, mangos, papayas, peppers, blueberries, peaches and apples. While I still need to go to the supermarket for other staples, my green source is now Patsy Farm. CHECK IT OUT

Paty's Farm saved me in my strawberry crisis! I usually go to Las Posas Berries for strawberries,…read morebut they are not open on some weekdays, which I did not take into account. On my commute, I went a different route in the hopes that one of the farms in Somis would be open before 9AM, and thankfully, Patty's was. I stopped by and bought a full flat of strawberries for $44. Despite the berries being smaller than the ones from Las Posas Berries, they were equally sweet, and the staff kept stuffing the flat with more berries as I got my card to pay. Super helpful, quick, and delicious!

Love, love, love Frog Creek Farm. Can't believe that they have been in business for over a decade…read moreand I just heard about them recently. We had been to another lavender farm in the upper Ojai Valley some years ago and I was looking for that info to return. That one has closed, but thankfully, Frog Creek Farm is a wonderful "find" for us. The lavender full blossom season is short, so you need to check on them via social media to find out when they are open. Instagram has current info. It's a delight to pull off the Ojai/Santa Paula Road and mosey on to their property. They have so much to see, including their cutting garden of seasonal flowers, some places to sit at picnic tables in the shade and even swing (i.e., hammock), the gift shop, and the lavender rows - the main event. Larry provides a great introduction at the small stand adjacent to the flowering beds. He describes the location and how to identify the five kinds of lavender they offer for cutting. For 2025 pricing - $16 earns you a generous bunch of fragrant blooms. After orientation, you are off with a basket to collect the stems, and scissors to do your own cutting / harvesting. As promised, the plentiful bees scattered away as we leaned in to cut the stems close to the main host bushes. We wandered among the rows and filled up our gathering basket. Back at the stand, Larry tied our haul into a beautiful bunch. We proceeded to the gift shop to pay for our pickings, and I also found a few other items to purchase, including lavender-infused spray which has many purposes. Christel greeted us as we were wrapping up our visit. She filled us in as we asked questions about how long they'd been there, as well as about some of their products. She's as sweet and charming as the farm is. What a lovely place to visit. We'll be putting it on the to-do list next summer, for sure!

It's always such a wonderful experience at Frog Creek Farm…read more Arriving at the farm, you just feel like you are transported somewhere else. From the personal lavender lesson, to the hands on cutting, shopping the lavender shed to sipping amazing lavender lemonade under the trees, it's such a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Christel and Larry are just the nicest people. They make you feel so welcome to be visiting their little slice of heaven. We love this annual tradition.

My only complaint was that the seating for wedding ceremony was only half shaded and half not. Many guest including myself ended up standing up for the ceremony to be on the shaded side. Since it was prompt at 4:30pm, sun wasn't set enough for shade to cast over both sides. Bride and groom opted for Hosted Full Bar service, it was great. There were only 2 bartenders but they were quick. At times there were lines but that also moved quickly. Food was good, buffet style. Wood Fired Prime Angus Tri-Tip was pretty tender and juicy. Tequila Lime Chicken Breast wasn't dry but wasn't the juiciest, overall flavorful.

I saw a social media post about this place earlier this year. I knew I had to make it a point to…read morecome and check it out on their opening weekend. It definitely did not disappoint. It's located in the beautiful city of Moorpark. Somewhat situated in a semi residential street. There's no parking lot, just street parking. We came around 10 am and there was already quite a bit of people there. There's a sign at the front that says to pick at your own risk. The regular customers came prepared with big buckets or wagons and pruners. They have medium sized white buckets you can borrow at the entrance to collect your persimmons. Then you make your way up the hill, which is pretty steep. There are lots of fully ripened persimmons on the trees of varying sizes. They had another section further up that was still cordoned off, perhaps not yet ripe. They have two different varieties of persimmon trees throughout the farm. We had a blast picking persimmons for a good hour. The persimmons are sweet and at $1.50 a pound definitely worth it! We got about 25 pounds which will last us quite a while. I'd definitely come back again next year prepared. *** I wouldn't recommend it for elderly with difficulty walking since the hill has some steep areas and is not level. Also beware with toddlers walking around by the trees as there are several small branches sticking out that are perfectly eye level. Today there was a woman that had a nasty fall while picking. Paramedics had to come and take her to get medical assistance.

Messaged her but no response. Would give 0 stars but there's none here. So 1 star it is. Would not…read morebe coming back here because I found a better place for U-pick persimmons and cheaper!

So on Sunday morning at 6:10 am we left our house and got there at 7 am to pick some peaches. The sun had just risen and the orchard looked heavenly thru the peach trees. My husband and I picked a lot of peaches and some plums. I'll be making plum jam this week. But the peaches we enjoy eating as a snack, I also baked a peach galette. So delicious. The peaches are juicy and sweet. It was worth our time and money. We picked over 60 pounds. I have some to family and friends and the rest we are enjoying it daily. I even made a whipped ricotta and peach toast. Delicious. I'm hoping I will have time to go back again one more time this season. Customer service was great, a very nice and friendly family orchard .... Go support them if you are nearby. And you will love the peaches.

Just lots of trees and you can see the scrawny chickens and roosters near by. Peaches were very affordable too and they accepted zelle so yay since I had no cash. It's a good stop on way to Vegas or if you're in the area hiking (devils punch bowl). They were also very nice and threw in some tomatillos and a few plums. Definitely want to come back with the kids.
