Tolmachoff Farms — Attraction in Glendale

Fresh Produce and more!

Update: I wish you would open up public access really early like farmer hours - when the sun breaks the darkness and the cooler air is there for one more hour. Not every day, two days out of the week, especially so if those days would be during u-pick days.

I miss the pre-COVID hours when you let in people before 9:00am, before the forsaken heat, before things get mushy, and people get sweaty & stinky.

All in all, we're greatful to have you hear, in the middle of everything, offering some healthy goodness for our tummies and our families.

The farm was nice enough, but the staff is awful. A woman yelled at us!

My partner and I planned on buying a Christmas tree here. The selection of trees was alright - seemed to be about $60 - $140 for a 6 - 7 ft. tree, which is kind of expensive, especially since the trees were a bit scraggly (but maybe they'd just been picked over). Regardless, we noticed chickens and other farm animals beyond the Christmas trees, where many other people were wandering around, looking at the animals. An employee approached: "Have you picked a Christmas tree yet?" "No, not yet," we said. "We're actually going to look at the chickens first!" "Oh, you have to see the chickens," she said.

We walked past a few more employees and headed over to where the animals were. There were a ton of people with us, also looking at the animals. We were walking around like this when this employee ran over to us, screaming: "Are you with the birthday party?!"

There was absolutely no indication that a birthday party was going on. No balloons. No banners or signs. Nothing. We were even encouraged to go back to this area by the Christmas tree employee. There were a ton of people back there.

"This area is NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. You have to leave. It's NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!"

I can't believe that this employee was screaming at two adults who were just walking around. I have no idea how she identified that we weren't with the alleged birthday party. She could have politely informed us that the area was closed for a private event, instead of running over to us, screaming at the top of her lungs, and demanding that we leave, like we were criminals. I don't think I've ever been treated like that. It was incredibly jarring to be yelled at and escorted out of a petting zoo, especially since we hadn't done anything wrong.

We left, immediately, and ended up buying our Christmas tree somewhere else. I really hope that woman is retrained. You should never yell at a potential customer. Never.

Maybe this place is nicer in the fall - it seems like they're known for pumpkins and corn mazes and the Christmas trees are just a side project, but I will never go back...

DO NOT GO!!!!! Today we took our nieces to Tolmachoff Farms for a day of fun, little did we know this place is full of screaming employees and unhelpful managers when complaints are made.

First, as we arrived there was minor traffic coming into the parking area. We noticed a car attempting to back out and stopped to allow them out and fill the space. There was no one behind us. As the car was backing out, one of the parking area flag directors began screaming at us to move the truck. We did not respond just continued to park. After we parked this parking flag guy came back up to us and proceeded to YELL at us about blocking the traffic, of which there was none.

While we were there, the corn maze was fun but everything else is birthday party novelties and not worth the entry fee. It is WAY overcrowded and pumpkins are overpriced.

As we were loading up to leave, we noticed a truck had stopped to allow us to back out and fill our spot. We put it in reverse when a different flag guy came out and STOOD BEHIND OUR TRUCK while screaming at the guy who’d stopped to allow us out. This lasted until the other truck continued forward. This flag guy proceeded to stand behind our truck which is in reverse for a good 5 minutes and would not allow us out. We rolled down the windows and proceeded to ask this guy to move and he begins to scream at my boyfriend and tells him “Get out of here then you effing joker.” And still proceeds to block our way out. My boyfriend again rolled down the window to make him move and finally he moved while threatening to “pull my boyfriend out of the truck”. I asked for his name to complain as he threatened us, he told me “You don’t need to know, b**.” Another employee saw the altercation and directed us where to park to speak to the manager. We advised the manager about our experiences and the manager told us they’re probably just tired but she’ll talk to them and refused us a refund.

We basically paid 50$ to get screamed at by angry people who don’t understand how parking lots work and look...
