It’s spring on the farm! This season is a little different for us. While we don’t yield a large harvest like we do the other seasons, we do always welcome a few new family members this time of year. Our goats have welcomed a new round of babies!

Goats play a crucial role on our 83-acre farm, walking the property everyday, clearing vegetation, and helping reduce fire risk. These little guys will soon join the rest of the herd as our newest personal firefighters!

With spring, we’re also adjusting our hours. Starting today, our San Jose location will be open EVERYDAY 9am-6pm!

Now pouring…MANDARIN LEMONADE!

Our seasonal lemonades might just be our favorite menu staple. We create each one from scratch with a bright, house‑made yuzu syrup and whatever fruit the farm is overflowing with. Winter is all about citrus, so of course we had to give mandarin its moment this season.

Summer is officially over and fall is in full effect! As the months get colder, a lot of businesses shorten their hours, as we have in the past as well, but this year we’re doing the opposite. Fall is one of our favorite times of the year on the farm, we have an abundance of apples, quinces, persimmons, pomegranates, and more. To celebrate our fall harvest, we’re extending our hours in Soquel and adding more dinner style entrees!
