What to Know
Admission includes access to the farm and petting zoo, but rides and berry picking cost extra (wristband options available). They have on-site food at their restaurant and bakery, plus a farmers market. Note they're only open Friday-Sunday during peak season.
Seasonal Notes
Open weekends only (Friday-Sunday) with peak season running spring through fall. Berry picking is best June through September. They host special seasonal events including fall harvest activities and pumpkin patches. Closed Monday-Thursday and may have limited winter hours or closures.
Nearby Eats
Pack a picnic or plan to eat at Remlinger's on-site restaurant, as Carnation has limited dining options. For a sit-down meal afterward, head back toward Duvall (15 minutes) where you'll find family-friendly spots like Garagiste Wine Bar & Cafe or Ixtapa Family Mexican Restaurant.
