    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.

    I just want to Thank everyone working at Bennett's. The moment we walked in they helped us find the…read moretrees that were the size and price range we were looking for. They were so considerate, they worked with our budget and they even gave my daughter a star for the top of our tree. I haven't bought a tree in years and now this is going to be our new tradition and the only tree lot we want to go too. Thank you so much for making this such a special experience for my kids and I.

    Wow. It had been a…read morecouple of years since I first became aware of Bloom Ranch. I'm not originally from California, but in the spaces I've moved through, I've always done my best to support Black-owned businesses whenever possible. Unbeknownst to me, I had no idea Bloom Ranch hosted a jazz brunch experience on the property. I was reminded about Bloom Ranch by someone whose opinion I trust deeply. She had traveled all the way from San Diego for the experience and left without words. She couldn't quite explain the levity, the love, the light, or what she had felt there. That was all I needed to know. I immediately booked a Sunday brunch and came with my partner and another couple. The experience begins long before you arrive. Driving from Pasadena into Acton, the landscape slowly transforms. The city gives way to rocky hills, rugged peaks, and wide-open skies. Then suddenly, you turn into Bloom Ranch and find yourself transported. Lush gardens, lavender, herbs, fruit trees, and rows of vibrant greenery welcome you onto the property. It feels as though you've stepped into another world entirely. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed not only by the Bloom Ranch staff, the people who steward and cultivate the land, but by what genuinely felt like family. From start to finish, we were cared for, supported, and guided through an experience that felt intentional in every way. The soulful jazz music would periodically pull you out of conversation because it was simply too beautiful not to fully absorb. The food was prepared in-house, sourced from the land, and served by people whose care and intention could be felt in every detail. What surprised me most was how spiritual the experience felt. There is something profoundly grounding about being surrounded by people who genuinely love the land, nurture it, and share its abundance with others. In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, Bloom Ranch offers something increasingly rare, presence. It invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember your connection to nature, community, and yourself. I am filled with immense gratitude for having experienced something so special, created by people who look like me, people who feel like me, people who are intentionally cultivating peace, connection, stewardship of the land, and community. I was also filled with an incredible sense of pride. Bloom Ranch is the largest Black-owned ranch in Los Angeles County, and its existence feels both meaningful and necessary. Dr. Bill Releford is a beacon, a pillar of optimism, wisdom, and possibility. To witness someone carry the values and lessons of his upbringing through a successful medical career and into the creation and stewardship of Bloom Ranch is truly inspiring. And then there is Debra Releford, the Matriarch, whose warmth and presence seem to illuminate the heart and soul of the ranch itself. To say that I will return almost feels inadequate. It makes it sound like Bloom Ranch is simply a venue where one has an experience and then goes home. That is not what this felt like. What it felt like was being welcomed into a family. Into a community. Into a frequency of love, joy, nourishment, and belonging that has been needed for a very long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Dr. Bill Releford, Debra, and the entire team who made this experience possible. What you have created is deeply meaningful. Forever grateful.

    My family and I drove out to see this place last weekend because we love animals and had heard…read moreabout it for years. We arrived to find parking along a busy highway (?!?), with golf carts shuttling visitors to and from the entrance, just a few feet away from cars whizzing past. That was weird. Then we got to the sort of holding area where they keep guests until their reservation time. Before we went in, the owner came out to greet us...sort of. She gave us a basic history of the place, but before she did, she wished us "happy pride" and told us all about how virtuous she was, as if everyone should be celebrating? Weird and inappropriate to say the least. The last thing she did before allowing us the entrance we'd paid handsomely for, was to lecture us about becoming vegans. Which is one of my biggest pet peeves about vegans to begin with. Then she stood at the entrance and offered everyone literature on veganism as we walked past. I declined. Wholly inappropriate, offensive and off putting. I didn't pay to be lectured about something I disagree with. It was nice to (finally) see and interact with the animals, but some of the volunteers were too much. I understand they're used to dealing with idiots every weekend, but some of the instructions they were giving were flat out dangerous, like having babies (maybe 18 months old) feed carrots to grabby, nippy horses. Bad idea when little hands aren't any bigger than the carrots. Most (not all) volunteers were just a bit too power trippy and under-educated for my taste. I will say the facilities were pretty clean and appeared well kept, but the horses and donkeys were filthy and in dire need of grooming. Give your visitors brushes and curry combs and show them how to brush the animals. Win-win for everyone. It was nice to hang out with the animals, but most of the people I could do without. Probably won't be back again.
