    The best experience I could have imagined. My husband and I booked a tour not knowing what to expect and wanting to try something new. We both love animals and we were smiling the whole time. Geo led a great tour filled with so much knowledge and experience to share. From cuddling Qunioa in the beginning, to brushing the boys down below, to then having a hands-on feeding experience. All around, our experience was great, you can tell that the llamas and Gio have an amazing bond. We'd definitely come back and bring family members in the future.

    Llama hugs!

    [COVID REVIEW] I found this farm through Airbnb experiences as a suggestion of what to do while visiting Arnold. It was a bit of a drive, but a beautiful one, and the experience was well worth it. It's like this suggested experience was meant for me. I love llamas so much, so I didn't hesitate to book this trip for my fiancé and I. When we arrived at the farm, we were greeted by Geo, the owner. He told us about his program. These llamas are used for therapy, and for the adults that he takes into his home with behavioral disorders. They give lots of love to the llamas and help to feed them on a daily basis. When you book this experience and spend time with the llamas, your money goes a long way to help the animals and also the people in their therapy program. The llamas are very well trained and very calm. I've come in contact with alpacas before and if you happen to walk behind them they kick. I've also heard about llamas being aggressive and spitting, but this is absolutely NOT the case with Geo's llamas. The only time they might spit is when they come in contact with each other out of food competition or because of pheromones. Geo recognizes this behavior before it happens however, and prevents it from happening. We were given a bunch of carrot sticks and other food to feed the llamas. We were also given time to interact with the llamas on our own. There were some adorable little babies that we got to interact with. We learned a ton about the history of llama use, including some of their Peruvian history/legends. Everyone wears masks, even though this is an outdoor experience. Typically you would put the carrots directly into your mouth to feed the llamas, but now you either hold to feed right by your mouth or hold in your mask. After this, the llamas essentially accept you, and you can pet them/hug them! Overall, an amazing experience and we would absolutely love to go back and spend more time with these amazing creatures.

    Hiking with llamas! The East Bay Region Park District (EBRPD) website offers llama day hikes in the spring, and it wasn't hard to convince a bunch of friends to join me on a 4-6 mile llama hike and lunch in Redwood Regional Park on a sunny Saturday morning. A bend in the French Trail was particularly breathtaking that day -- I'm uploading a picture so you can see how gorgeous the hike was, and how cute the llamas are! On our llama hike, we had six llamas -- each was unique in personality and appearance. My llama that day had really curly knee-hairs and loves to steal branches and leaves from trees he passes. He even stole a carrot out of someone's back pocket mid-hike! The llama-to-person ratio was about one llama for every two people, which was AWESOME. Everyone loved meeting and learning about llamas from George Caldwell who brought the llamas down from their home in Sonora for the hike through the EBRPD program. I have to warn you that the EBRPD website is hard to navigate and I usually have to Google "EBRPD llama hike" to find the right webpage to sign up for the next llama hike. Once you get to the "llama day hike" registration page, you can find out how many open slots are available for each day -- and get all your friends to sign up :) I highly recommend these llama hikes for weekend fun in the sunny East Bay. Join a llama hike on the EBRPD website, or talk to George to set up your own group llama hike. I will probably have to do that, because EVERYONE who saw my llama hike pictures from last year wants to come along!

    Wondernut Farm is about an hour and a half from Yosemite Valley, and it's such a special,…read moreone-of-a-kind place run by Matt and Eve. When we arrived, Matt spent nearly an hour walking us around the property, explaining how everything worked and making sure we felt comfortable with the outdoor showers and composting toilets. We stayed in The Bridge, which is about a 10-minute walk from the main shared space they call the "living room," where the kitchen, hangout area, and laundry are located. Matt personally walked us out to The Bridge and showed us how to follow the trail. Along the way, he pointed out where poison oak was growing, so we'd know how to identify it and avoid it. It wasn't on the main path, but it was good to be aware in case we accidentally stepped off the trail. He showed us how to use the compostable toilet to use at night since it's so far from the main area. The farm has several dogs, goats, and sheep. One of the female goats gave birth to two kids while we were there, and a few hours later we had the chance to hold them, which was such a sweet and unexpected moment. We also watched as they milked some of their sheep. Matt and Eve were both so warm and open, happy to answer all of our questions and share stories throughout the weekend whenever we crossed paths. There's Wi-Fi available in the main living area, but cell service was pretty spotty otherwise, which I honestly loved. It gave me a chance to really unplug. I spent a lot of time swinging in the hammock or curled up reading in the living room, and I left feeling truly centered after just two days. I also really appreciated how committed they are to sustainability. They have a detailed recycling system, are careful not to waste food, use a well for water, and run everything on solar power. Every part of the space reflects intention and care. Two of my favorite features were the bathrooms and the shower area. The toilets face out toward nature and are semi-open, so you're looking out at the land while you're in there. One time, a group of turkey strolled by as I was using the bathroom, and I couldn't help but laugh. The showers have a huge window that made for the most scenic, peaceful showers I've ever taken. This place left a real mark on me. Whether you're coming to or from Yosemite, make time to stay here. It's peaceful, intentional, and truly special. I'm already hoping I get to return one day.

    My family and I really had a good experience coming to This farm. It's my toddler's first pumpkin…read morepatch, and she was bananas about it. This cute farm had so much to do. We were first greeted by a man and he told us where to park. Super nice and let us know what to expect at our visit. They have lots of chickens! My baby and so many other kids there loved it. We then moved over to check out our four legged friends. There was a cow, 2 donkeys, and many goats! They aren't shy and will come up to the gate and meet you. Super neat for the little ones to see. The third area we checked out is their pumpkin patch. They have beautiful displays of pumpkins of all colors! Lots of decors for you and your family to take some pictures and capturing some beautiful memories. You can walk over to where the pumpkin grows and purchase some if you like. Support local! If you're looking for some freshly cut flowers to take with you home, you can go cut some at the farm. I believe they are $40 for a bucket! Finally, you can check out where they sell goat cheese from the goat milk they get from the farm. At the pumpkin patch you and your family can hitch a hay ride for free. By far my favorite pumpkin patch I've ever been too. When I went there were food trucks which made it convenient for family to grab some bites if they are hungry. Restroom was also open for attendees.

    We won a pass though Yelp to checkout their pumpkin patch. The farm is pretty far away from me but…read moreworth the drive. Upon arrival an older gentleman stopped our car and explained to us all they had to offer. My son was extremely excited to find out they had baby goats, chickens and donkeys there. The farm is really big and everything is well spaced out if you're concerned about being around a lot of people. We checked out the animals first. The baby goats were so adorable. Then the chickens were in their own area and it was really cool to see their eggs too. After that we went to the barn area were they had vendors selling home made crafts and desserts. We got some yummy rice crispy treats that were really big for only 3 bucks. Outside of the barn they had little tractors set up for kids and a cute seating area to take your fall pumpkin patch pics. Beyond that area they had picnic tables and tons of other cute spots to take photos. We were informed you could pick a pumpkin from any of the areas they had pumpkins or actually go into the field to pick a pumpkin. I'd suggest wearing a good pair of shoes because it's a huge dirt area. My son went crazy and filled our cart with lots of little pumpkins. They are very reasonable priced too. We paid 22 dollars for 12 little pumpkins. Most places charge per pound but they actually have set prices. After picking pumpkins we went to get lunch from the food truck they had out there. First I had to stop and buy cheese from their farm. I got a Brie and some pomegranate jelly. It was a really great combination. The lady selling the cheese sells charcuterie boxes too. Not anything big but a snack size to have something while relaxing at the farm. We had a very fun filled day and appreciate Yelp for the pass. So if you're in the area definitely check out this farm. Oh yeah they're starting to have dinners there on certain nights too. It's Beautiful farm with lots to do.
