Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for children to join this farm experience?

A: Great question! Kids of all ages are welcome, but I'd recommend it for ages 5 and up since they’ll get more out of the experience and enjoy the picnic lunch. Just make sure they can handle a couple of hours outdoors. It’s a fun way to introduce young ones to farm life!

Q: What should we wear? Is it muddy or dusty at the farm?

A: Definitely wear comfy clothes and shoes that can get dirty. The ranch has some dusty paths and a few muddy spots, especially if it rained recently. I wore sneakers and a hat, and it was a good choice. Layers are key since it can get warm out there!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of our picnic?

A: If the weather doesn't cooperate, they usually reschedule to another day. They’ll reach out to you a day or two before to confirm the forecast. So don't worry too much about that! Just keep an eye on the weather leading up to your visit.

Thinking of gifting this farm experience! Any thoughts?

I saw the Farm to Picnic experience in Santa Ynez and it sounds amazing! They have this exclusive behind-the-scenes tour and a picnic with artisan charcuterie boards. Has anyone done this? Is it worth the drive? I’m looking at it for my mom’s birthday and she loves farms!

Just went to the Farm to Picnic experience - amazing day!

I just returned from the Farm to Picnic experience, and wow, what a fantastic day! The ranch is gorgeous, and the olive grove tour taught me so much. The charcuterie was fresh and beautiful. If you're considering this as a gift, do it! Super intimate and unique.
