Children can stroll about 1 mile along a flat, scenic canyon path to reach the farm, where they can observe cows, Boer goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, and rabbits up close. They can also learn about traditional organic vegetable gardens and fruit tree cultivation, and observe golden autumn leaves and wild California deer by the creek. The path from the main parking lot to the farm is paved with smooth gravel and asphalt, suitable for all-terrain strollers and children's scooters. Eco-friendly restrooms with sinks and changing tables are available at the farm center and main parking lot. Numerous shaded picnic tables are available along the way for breaks and nursing. This experience is suitable for infants aged 0 to children aged 12 and the whole family. Admission to the farm is free. ## Similar picks in San Jose - [Rancho San Antonio & Deer Hollow Farm Family Winter Trail](https://grassyknees.com/san-jose/activities/rancho-san-antonio-and-deer-hollow-farm-family-winter-trail--listing-214960b29836ff711a4e50cf) — Open on its own schedule · Rancho San Antonio County Park & Open Space Preserve, Cupertino · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
