Murray Family Farms is an absolute must when you're driving to/from Tehachapi. My friends and I…read morevisited for their U-Pick blackberries and had an excellent experience. The Big Red Barn has a lot of fresh fruit, baked goods, and other treats to choose from. The real fun is when you pick the fruit yourself though. We got ourselves some sweet blackberries to take home. Out on the farm, we had the best tractor ride and learned some fun facts about fruits, as well as slid on the huge slide and played some outdoor games. While we were here, we ate some oakie pies. My favorite is thanksgiving dinner. It tastes just like November-- Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy. They have other tasty savory pies like the chicken pot pie, blueberry pulled pork, and the breakfast pie. Of course, you could get some sweet ones too! The service is very friendly and the farm truly has fun for everyone! I can't wait to come back for stone fruit season.

Took a side quest here on the way to Yosemite and it was worth it! I would have given 5 stars but I…read morecan't get over entry fees to a farm...$10.99pp ages 4+. If you decided to pick fruit you pay by the pound at the end which is reasonable but the fee per person just to walk around seemed on the high end. They have goats, chickens, peacocks, a variety of birds, chickens and roosters and cool art displays. We saw signs for paintballing and hayrides though I didn't see any wagons operating. The main reason we stopped was to try the Okie Pies. I had never heard of them and I am always looking to try new things. They remind me of a large empanada or handheld meat pie. We tried 3 savory and 1 dessert Okie Pie. They were out of blueberry so we settled for Apple and it was good but super sweet. I love desserts and unless you're a diehard apple pie fan you may find this to be too sweet. Savory flavors were salsa verde, chicken pot pie, and blueberry BBQ pork. The blueberry BBQ sounds odd but it was everyone's favorite. Everyone was very friendly and there was even someone who let the kids pet the goats and roosters. We'll stop on the way back home for more blueberry BBQ Okie Pies.

Also you only get one turn in the small jumpers with the slides. They ask for a ticket each turn.

They also offered us free apple juice samples made right there with a juicer when we went to pay. Apples were reasonably priced and it was a fun way to spend a few hours.

No entry free but you do pay for each activity. There is archery, ax throwing, maze, animal farm, ponies and horses, tractor ride. Ample parking without having to walk too far.

I get a chance to do 2 days work for a new HBO series, they set up everything like a military base camp in the 70s, and we all dressed up as soldiers doing all the drills from running, shooting, combating and more.

Social media is filled with places to go but they're almost all filled to the brim with other like minded folks. Cherry Acres is luckily new-ish enough that you won't be shoulder checking another family for baby's first Fall photo. A little pricy if you're a large family and don't partake in all the activities.

I have purchased my Christmas trees from Bennett's Christmas Tree Lot for the past three years, and…read morethere is a reason I return every season. The trees are consistently exceptional, fresh, fragrant, and noticeably higher quality than any I have found anywhere else in Southern California. This past year, I was unexpectedly abroad for nearly ten months tending to a family emergency. During that time, my tree remained in my home. While it naturally dried over those months, it did so beautifully and evenly, in a healthy, intentional way, reminiscent of the poetic, sculptural dried trees some boutiques curate deliberately for aesthetic presence. Even after many months, it retained its form, its grace, and its quiet beauty. That experience speaks volumes about the care, sourcing, and stewardship behind their trees. The lot itself always smells incredible, that unmistakable, grounding scent of real pine that instantly signals the season. I also deeply appreciate that they insist on cutting the tree immediately before you leave, ensuring the freshest possible cut and the longest life once it's home. Everyone who works at Bennett is welcoming, supportive, and kind, which already sets this place apart. But this year, I experienced something that clarified why character matters just as much as how people choose to show up. I arrived at the lot carrying more in my heart than I could easily articulate. It has been an exceptionally difficult year, and after returning from heart-wrenching months abroad, I found myself quietly in need of humanity. I approached Anthony with visible hesitation, unsure even how to begin the conversation. He immediately slowed down, gave me his full attention, and created a sense of safety through presence alone. There was no sense of being rushed along, no judgment, no transactional posture. He listened carefully, responded thoughtfully, and met me exactly where I was, with dignity and discernment. In that moment, shame dissolved and gratitude took its place. Anthony felt like a personal Christmas angel, not because of any grand gesture, but because he chose kindness, integrity, and humanity when it mattered. What I experienced was not an expectation, an arrangement, or a precedent. It was a singular moment of care, offered responsibly and with heart, guided by conscience and respect. This is not simply a place to purchase a Christmas tree. It is a place guided by people who understand that this season invites us to slow down, to truly see one another, and to lead with conscience, care, and humanity. I will continue to return year after year and recommend Bennett Christmas Tree Lot without hesitation.

They were so considerate, they worked with our budget and they even gave my daughter a star for the top of our tree.
