Conejo Family Farm's Pumpkin Patch is the perfect spot to soak up all the fall vibes!…read more If you're looking for a relaxed, low-key day, weekdays are the way to go. But if you're in the mood for a lively atmosphere, weekends are buzzing with pop-up coffee stands, local beer stalls, and tons of happy families. I even heard they had over 5,000 guests in a single day last weekend -- such an incredible turnout for this Camarillo patch! Entry is $10 a person unless you're under the age of 5, then it's free. Once you step inside the grounds, the fun doesn't stop. From picking pumpkins (I snagged the cutest little white ones) to exploring the tall corn maze and strolling through the sunflower fields, there's something for everyone. At just $1 a stem, you can build your own sunflower bouquet, which makes this experience extra special. The kids will love the mini maze and bouncy houses, while adults can enjoy the festive energy and beer. Honestly, I had the best time and totally recommend adding it to your fall bucket list. Make sure to keep an eye on their Instagram or website as that's where you can find updating postings of specialized events and pop up. Reminder: the weekends are when they have the animal petting zoo, coffee stalls and beer garden. The weekdays appear to be more lowkey and don't have all of these options - but if you watch their website, they do have mid week events like yoga in the pumpkin patch etc.

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.

This review is for the U-Pick blueberries at Gerry Ranch…read more Between Moorpark and Camarillo. What a great way to spend 1-3 hours with family or friends! Everyone can get a big blue bucket and fill it with the sweetest, plumpest blueberries! If the kids don't want to put their blueberries together, the employees just look and guesstimate half/ third etc if a bucket. It is $18 a bucket but that is SO MUCH! 3 of us picked about a half a bucket in 45 minutes so it was about $9. There are about 60 long rows to pick, chairs or benches at the end of each row and restrooms if needed. We have come with 3-15 year olds and always have a really nice time. Before you come make sure their blueberries are in season, wear shoes that can be a bit dirty and bring water bottles. Have fun! They are all so nice and helpful! Open until 4....ish.

In the garden, you'll find a beautiful mix of native Mediterranean plants as well as Mediterranean plants from around the world. From the top, there are great views overlooking the Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park valleys. Parking is free, there is a bathroom (though it is not always open), and there are plenty of benches throughout the gardens where you can sit, relax, and enjoy the surroundings. Gate open at sunrise and close at sunset. Just outside the botanical garden gates, there's also a great park with lots of open green space and a playground, where you'll often find families.

It was super nice to get away from Cristy for a bit and just chill out in nature. The trails are pretty neat, and you get some really awesome views of the valley once you walk up a bit. Only real downside is that it gets super hot during the summer, so definitely bring some water and try to go before the sun starts scorching.

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!

The family is so nice and helpful, too. Additionally, I have found items like carved wood, nuts, and dried fruits.

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!

I stop at their cute farm store to pick up fresh produce and see what goodies they offer. Everything looks so fresh and displayed very cute. I enjoy seeing what they offer seasonally and making new recipes at home from the seasonal produce i purchased. Sometimes it's a little pricey. That's the only downfall to me. I would buy more of its wasn't as expensive. But they do offer a punch card for frequent shoppers. I always make sure to use my punch card. I also enjoy walking to the side of the game stand and visiting the cute animals. It's a small little quick trip compared to the main farm but I always enjoy it.

Came here to walk laps while my baby took a nap in the stroller and I could not have asked for a better experience. It's small, so it may not be worth driving a long way to see it, but if you're in the area and are looking for a pleasant place to hang, you cannot beat this! *I would like to add that I am a white woman and this post is not intended to invalidate the experience of others who did not feel welcome in the garden.

I went to this garden a few weeks ago. The garden was pretty, though not as spectacular as I…read moreexpected. One of the docents engaged us in conversation. She was rude and aggressive. She was upset that I had used a selfie stick to take a picture of the main gate. (I was standing outside of the property.) She explained no selfie sticks were permitted. I understand there are "rules" but these rules were posted inside. I think her approach could have been more professional. I was not on live in social media, I was not involving any other guests, I wasn't interfering with anyones enjoyment of the property, and I wasn't even taking a selfie. My friend and I were disappointed with this reception. It marred our visit. I visit gardens and museums in locations within and out of the US, docents usually receive guests with kindness and provide guests with information on the grounds. Do better docents. Do better.

Lol. Mike, one of the trainers there, was awesome. He was super helpful, patient, and made me feel comfortable right away without making me feel like I was being treated as a complete beginner. I also really appreciated that the experience wasn't rushed. I got to brush my horse and spend a little time getting to know her first, then we went into the arena so I could get comfortable riding again before heading out on the trail. By the time we got out there, I was having so much fun. It felt really special to be back on a horse after that long, and I'm genuinely so grateful I got to have that experience here. Such a cool place, great people, and a really memorable way to get back into riding. I'd absolutely recommend Haile Ranch.
