There is a shop that sells so many great, and affordable local goods. You can purchase eggs, the BEST goat milk products, and chat with the friendly and informative people who run the place. Definitely worth a visit.

Thank you to Ashley and everyone at Simonian Farms for helping to make our 40th high school reunion…read moreevent so successful! Everything from the venue's beautiful grounds, dining/bar setup, options of amenities, its proximity to lodging, and food/catering choices were top-notch and many people who attended were extremely complimentary. So much so, that I am going to include some of the comments from our attendees in this review. Here's what our attendees had to say: "Beautiful yet comfortable casual atmosphere", "Casual yet felt very upscale...wonderful hometown hospitality", "hidden gem", "amazing atmosphere for reunions, family gatherings, and other events", and "perfect venue for our reunion...indoor/outdoor aspect works well...there was more room to accommodate a larger group, if necessary". Ashley was extremely flexible with our plans when changes came up, and she always made sure that we had everything we needed (right down to the last minute patio heaters for the surprise cooler weather!) It goes without saying that we would not hesitate to hold another high school reunion at Simonian Farms in the future! Sanger High Class of 1985 Reunion Committee

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.

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.

Farmer John's really spent time and resources making upgrades to everyone's experience when they visit. One of the most noticeable improvements was the concrete paths that have been poured, circling the attractions. This makes the farm completely stroller friendly and so much easier for moms with young kids. My daughter also got to do the pony ride which was such a special treat for her. I should also note that it was only $15 to get in. We went to another pumpkin patch here in the valley that charged just as much, but had way less attractions, amenities and things to do. Thank you farmer John for always making our experiences better and better, and keeping it affordable for us moms!

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.
