A gentle, paved one-mile trail leads families from the main staging area along bubbling Permanente Creek to historic Deer Hollow Farm, a working 160-year-old homestead nestled in a secluded valley. During Thanksgiving weekend, young explorers can view sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, and cow breeds in their pens, visit the historic orchard, and explore the restored 1850s farmhouse. Wild turkeys frequently roam the open meadows alongside black-tailed deer, giving children a thrilling real-life encounter with iconic Thanksgiving wildlife in their natural habitat. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Stroller Accessibility: The Lower Meadow and Farm Bypass trails to Deer Hollow Farm are wide, packed gravel and asphalt, making them easily navigable with sturdy strollers. • Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern vault restrooms and handwashing stations are available at the main parking area and at Deer Hollow Farm, with picnic tables along the creek. • Age Suitability: Perfect for toddlers through grandparents; the 2-mile roundtrip walk to the farm is a beloved rite of passage for local young children. • Sensory Tips: Peaceful rural farm atmosphere with gentle barnyard animal sounds and fresh mountain air; parking lots fill early on holiday weekends, so early arrival is recommended. ## Similar picks in San Jose - [Emma Prusch Farm Park Winter Holiday Fair](https://grassyknees.com/san-jose/activities/emma-prusch-farm-park-winter-holiday-fair--listing-ef8960dcf706b04a5885df3a) — Sat, Dec 5 · 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM · Emma Prusch Farm Park · All ages · Free · checked Nov 5.
