Description

Prancer's Farm - Santa Paula's Family-Friendly Farm ExperiencePrancer's Farm, located at 18540 E Telegraph Rd in Santa Paula, CA 93060, offers a family-run seasonal destination with various fall and holiday activities including pumpkin picking, strawberry harvesting, and festive events. Visitors can enjoy tractor rides through the 40-acre property, interact with rescue animals in the petting zoo, and participate in pony rides while taking in mountain views. The farm also operates a produce market selling fresh fruits, vegetables, honey, and local products, with pricing that some find reasonable for supporting local agriculture while others consider steep compared to similar venues. The staff consistently receives praise for their friendliness and accommodating nature, particularly during group visits and special needs accommodations, though admission costs (ranging from $20-26 per person) and additional activity fees generate mixed reactions among families.
