We offer a variety of on-the-farm entertainment experiences as well as "U-Pick your own" opportunities. Our annual harvest currently exceeds 1,000,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables on nearly 300 acres, with 43 acres of road side gardens. We are committed to growing most of what we sell, and selling most of what we grow through our two Farm Direct Market locations, as well as numerous outdoor Farmer's Market events throughout southern and central California. The family oriented "Big Red Barn" Farm Direct Market location offers a children's play area, petting zoo, baby farm animals, and is the only farm in Kern County to offer Hay Rides and "Pick Your Own" fruit and vegetable crops. We pride ourselves in creating fond memories for our visitors.
