Deer Hollow Farm, nestled within Rancho San Antonio Preserve in Cupertino, CA, is a wonderful place to experience a bit of farm life while enjoying scenic trails. The farm is home to well-cared-for animals, including cows, goats, sheep, and chickens, making it a delightful stop for visitors of all ages. Walking past the enclosures, it’s clear that the animals are in a healthy and natural environment. The farm does a great job of maintaining its rustic charm while providing educational opportunities about farm life and sustainability.
One occasional downside is the strong odor, particularly when some animals experience stomach ailments. While it’s a natural part of farm life, it would be beneficial to ensure the animals receive proper care to manage any health issues. Covering up odors with artificial scents wouldn’t be ideal, but prioritizing humane treatment for affected animals would enhance the experience for both visitors and the livestock.
Beyond the farm, the surrounding trails offer beautiful views, shaded paths, and a great mix of wildlife sightings. It’s a perfect spot for regular walks, and the presence of the farm adds a unique, peaceful charm to the overall experience. Deer Hollow Farm remains a cherished stop for many in...
Read moreWhen walking from the parking lot to the farm I met many others trying to figure out how to get to the farm as there are scattered hiking trails along the way that intwine into residential areas. It would be very helpful if there was more signage directing people to the farm. After walking a little over a half mile we finally arrived at the farm. There are opportunities to see some basic farm animals, however you can only pet a few of them. The rabbits are cute but you can't actually sit down and pet one. We were permitted to pet the rabbit while the volunteer held it. I understand that they care for the animals and want to keep them safe. Most of the volunteers working there were very nice, helpful and polite... however one lady working with the chickens was incredibly rude. The cost is $7 per person to go into the area with the animals. It takes about 45 minutes to to look/pet the animals. Overall it was a good experience but not really a "petting zoo" This is a very cute place to take children (in a stroller or child that can walk a mile comfortably) or a...
Read moreVisited Deer Hollow Farm last weekend, and I have to say, it’s udderly fantastic! From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat. The cows greeted me with what I swear was a knowing nod, and the chickens strutted around like they owned the place.
The highlight, though, had to be the goats. These guys have comedic timing that would make a stand-up comedian jealous. One goat kept “photobombing” our pictures—every time we tried to take a selfie, there he was, making goofy faces and sticking out his tongue..
Then there was the sheep who tried to join our picnic. I’ve never had to share my sandwich with livestock before, but there’s a first time for everything. I think she was more interested in the potato chips, though.
Even the pigs were in on the fun. I swear one of them winked at me. Or maybe it was just a trick of the light. Either way, I’m convinced that the animals at Deer Hollow Farm are all undercover comedians.
Great for kids and adults , this place is perfect if you’re looking for a day of laughs and...
