Avila Valley Barn is one of my favorite places in the area. It has something for everyone - a petting zoo, a produce and specialty food store, gift shop, homemade goodies, food, ice cream, candy, and the best holiday events. Right now is Fall season with many different kinds of pumpkins, hay rides, a hay maze and more. FREE admission and great parking! I highly recommend it, especially for families.

It was a nice visit to the barn. Lots of pumpkins, flowers, fruits trees, tomato plants, and some animals. I also bought some home-made pies and pumpkin breads. It’s a fun event with family.

Love this barn. Have so many great baked goods and produce. Just wish they shipped their goods. Will come back in the future.

This is an absolutely fantastic, memorable place to bring your family. From feeding tiny lamas lettuce to petting potbelly pig bellies, youll be sure not to forget Avila Valley Barn. Enjoy picking some raspberries right from the bush by the carton or picking your own bright, seasonal flowers for $1 a piece. The best part? General admission is free of charge! Dress to impress because the photo ops are a plenty here.

Such a fun cute family friendly place toGo to. If you like local produce, feeding barn animals, hay mazes, and such this is for you. It’s interactive and spacious. Surprisingly clean. Kids love the animals but if your little one is scared of them I suggest not allowing them to be too close to them. People here were friendly and wore masks inside as required indoor. You can feed the animals with lettuce which is 3$. We were able to find parking as they have their own lot and there are restrooms available.

Perfect place to get you in the mood for fall! They have huge piles of pumpkins everywhere, and we took some cute pics in the hay maze and pumpkin patch. We also picked apples and got a close up view of a hawk! We bought a cherry pie and it was good, not too sweet with lots of juicy cherries. The plums are really good right now too.

Great stop for kids. Great chance for kids to feed and pet some goats, cows, pigs, and lamas. Its a solid 45min activity, but not much beyond and hour or two. It has free admission. You can choose to buy romaine to feed the animals for 3$. They also have some really great boutique/gift shops with local treats.

Cutest, quaint, farm/pumpkin patch Ive ever seen! We stopped here whole staying at the near by KOA for something to do to pass the time in the morning and I was SO SURPRISED by all it had to offer. There are you pick flowers, raspberries, and tomatoes (I probably missed more,) so many photo opportunities, a hay ride, hay maze, and climbing hay stacks, the cutest little fruit stand, and even a deli to order sandwiches. Theres a large variety of pumpkin species to choose from and animals to feed lettuce to for only $3 a head. We were able to feed every animal a couple of leaves each and had some left to toss up to Rooftop Ralph who became our favorite animal there. We cant wait to visit again next year!

One of the best farms on the central coast. Great selection of produce, trinkets, jellies and pies. Its a great place to bring kids to see all the different animals as well as tractor rides. There is also food and drink available on site which truly makes it a one stop shop

Its very busy here. They have pumpkins, mazes, sunflower field, bbq, fresh cider, roasted corn, fresh fruits and vegetables. They also have farm animals. Overall, its great for kids and entire family to check out.

Such a Gem! Rustic and warm filled with beautiful wild flowers you can pick. Family oriented and perfect for a romantic stroll with a date. Staff is friendly and the animals are fun and loving to be fed by happy children. Five starzzzzz!

We love the Avila Barn! Ice cream was on tap today and it was so good. The sunflower crop was beautiful, so fun to walk through the fields!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!bae and I were visiting Avila Beach for the Day and came across this lovely place! It’s a farmers market / petting zoo! Very kid and adult friendly. You’re able to feed the animals too!At the farmers market I purchased a fresh and delicious yellow peach 🍑 🤤Enjoy!

I love this place! They have tons of fresh fruits and vegetables that they grow in the fields behind the store. In addition, youll find all sorts of jams, sauces and other baking mixes to compliment. Also, theres a petting zoo for the kids, and kids at heart ❤ plus so much more... Totally recommend this place.. its right off the 101. You wont be disappointed.

This place was great right across from the springs. It was an amazing experience getting to go out with my partner. We had a great time! There was animals, ive cream, food and some comical roosters 🐔 🤣Its free entry i suggest trying out the pies they look amazing you can also buy alot of local fruit, jams and snacks. The flowers 🌸 were beautiful as well. Its all about that experience! Check out my photos to get a good perspective as to what is available.

My grandchildren just love this place. Plus I enjoy getting fresh vegetables.

Love stopping in and browsing all of the goodies and gifts that they have. Also like seeing all the animals. Summer time they have roasted corn on the cob. Fall obviously they have pumpkins and Hay rides and in the Winter they have Christmas trees.

This place was a pleasant surprise! My wife had been by here before, but I never knew about it. They had goats, donkeys, chickens and potbellied pigs all that could be fed lettuce. The weather was a mild 65 degrees and this may not be the best spot when it is warmer. The food was good and they had fresh fruit and vegetables for sale in their store.

Great place to stop n shop n walk about to see all the beautiful things.. eat n have a cold drink!!

Cute spot to enjoy with the family. Petting zoo, shop for fresh produce, delicious ice cream. Plenty of areas to sit. Ample parking.Great photo opportunities for the whole family. Enjoy

We had a fabulous time visiting for the first time today! The animals were fun, food was delicious, loved the dog friendly atmosphere, the singer was stellar, and the farmers market was so great! Well be back! PS...Rooftop Ralph was our favorite goat!

I loved this place! It was so cute! Plenty of animals to walk around and look at. Goats, chickens, cows, and ponies, and you can feed the goats lettuce! The farm store is much bigger than I was expecting. They also have a candy store which was cute. Would definitely recommend making a stop at this place! Loved it!!

A must stop every time we come here. Fun environment, good fresh produce and unique food items. I could say a whole lot more but I’m sure it’s already been said numerous times here. Great stop for kids and families.

Weve enjoyed coming to Avila Valley Barn for 20 years. The kids always love to see & feed the animals. The produce and baked goods are always excellent. This is a fun place to go with your family, from picking fresh produce in the orchard to enjoying a hayride during the fall season.

I love stoping by in this market everytime we go to Pismo. Love the fresh produce and enjoyed seeing cute livestock.

I went on my birthday, a Monday. I didnt expect it to be so crowded. With so many unmasked - and it being my first nonessential foray during the pandemic - that made me a bit uncomfortable even though its mostly outdoors. The petting farm is fun. You can feed the animals - goats, alpaca (my friend), cows, miniature ponies, pigs and more. There is even an ostrich who stayed in the back. Theres a nice local produce area where I bought local honey, which I hope will help my new grass allergies.

Very fun. Awesome for the kids. The Nashville chicken was labeled hot but wasnt hot at all. Still good though. I also had a hard cider which was good.

We had a fantastic time visiting the barn. The pies are delicious and the honey is yummy 🐝Great place to build Wonderful memories. Weve been been visiting for over 15 years and love it!

Great place for family and children. Large gift shop and lots of fresh produce. Fun experience!!

Always fun to see the animals and wander through the store

Best Place Ever For Everyone Of All Ages I Believe Everyone Should Put This Place One There Bucket 🪣 List!!! THE PUNKIN BREAD 🍞 IS THE BEST I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN!!! The Customer Service Is Excellent And The Atmosphere Is excellent The Animals Are The Best The Goats 🐐 Are To Cute!!!

Great place to pick up fresh produce. They had some really unusual types of squash (for fall season). They also had some delicious looking baked pies, scones, and other sweet treats.

Great fun for the whole family. Not overly priced. Heads of lettuce to feed the animals are only $3. The food is amazing and just super relaxed vibe. Spent well over 3 hours here taking it all in.

Mask Nazis. Not inside, I wasnt asked, but outside to get a pie, I was. I refuse to do business with establishments with employees who overstep there boundaries. It doesnt make sense and I wont reward you with my business. Correct your employees behavior.

Great place with lots to see and do.The corn on the cob was super yummy, as was their ice cream.Their prices are a little steep but I would still recommend this place.

The place is on point... Well kept up with all the people coming and going... Bathrooms are clean and live stock are well taken care of. Corn on the cob a bit pricy at $4 each, but overall a good experience for the kiddos...

I love animals so I was sold immediately!

This was a very cool place to wander through on a relaxing day. With the exception 9f the local evacuation siren being tested while we were there we really enjoyed our visit and an to return again.

We make this a staple visit when we go to Pismo. Fresh fruit, feeding the farm animals, fantastic fudge. What more do you need?

Awesome barn with lots of goats, chickens. The kids can feed the animals with vegetables you buy from their market for $3. Or they can just feed them leaves.The market feels like a farmers market with great fruits vegetables, pies, jellies.We came here twice in two days because the kids loved it so much!

Great place for kids. You can feed animals that are well taken care of. They offer hot roasted corn on the cob thats delicious. The produce they offer is fresh and beautiful. Also take a fresh baked or frozen pie home If your in Avila stop at the barn its worth it

We go here every year in October. Great photo ops, dog friendly, cool animals to feed, great prices on pumpkins & the desserts there are amazing. The Cherry Crisp is soooo good. Get there early-ish for the best selection of baked fresh foods.

Best farm Ive ever been to. So much fun! They have a petting zoo and amazing food. Also, you gotta try the ice cream! Its so good!

Prices was great, nice place to eat out side and the fruit and cakes are so fresh

It’s pumpkin time!Avila is a picturesque farm with loads of goodies to buy and eat- homemade pies, loaves, jams, etc. there’s also ice cream, BBQ, and a corn roaster (certain days only)! You can also buy a head of lettuce for $4 to feed the goats. Or walk around and appreciate the sights and smells of farm animals. Or maybe a chicken will fly out to greet you!

Neat little farm with produce market canned goods and farm animals to be seen and fed. Pony rides. Good for the kids or a leisurely stroll. No fee for admission.

Really beautiful and fun place lots of animals you can feed ride ponies and a wagon ride. Lots of food and snacks.

Incredible family or single stop. Great lunch food, fresh corn and ice cream, great people, petting zoo, and wonderful shop full of yummy treats, fruits, vegetables, plants, gifts, and more!

I love it here and Ive been coming here my whole life! Everyone is always kind and they have the best snacks and the animals are just too cute not to feed!

Great day out with little kids. Bring a few dollars to feed greens to the goats, maybe splurge on a pony ride, enjoy the apple cider doughnuts.

A great family friendly place to both visit & buy fresh produce & bakery goods. Very child friendly.

Great experience for our kids. Goats, sheep, chickens, llama, donkeys, and ponies for the kids to see and feed. The ice cream, deli and bakery was great. I am a fan, we will be back for the hay ride and veggies and fruit.So much fun

Very fun place to visit. Lots of selections of fall decor...pumpkins, gourds, ornamental corn, etc. All sorts of gifts for a basket. I really enjoyed walking the aisles inside and the rows outside. Bunches to see so go slow. Oh, and baked goods, candy, ice cream and corn on the cob. Kids love the animals.

So much fun! I spent about 20 minutes petting the fluffy goats. We had a delicious artichoke and Mac n cheese. Just a really pleasant vibe.

We love bringing our family here! We loved apple picking and raspberry picking. They have fresh fruit, nuts and baked goods! We always make sure to stop by when we go to the coast. Cant forget the animal feeding! The kids loved feeding the different animals!

Great little farm. Very much like a smaller Bates Nut Farm. You can buy Romaine lettuce to feed the animals with.

Fun farm to visit in SLO, just a few minutes from Pismo Beach. They have goats and chickens for your little ones to check out, feed and pet. They have an amazing general store with to die for Smores Rice Crispy Treats ($$ but sooooo good), fresh honey, jams, pies and vegetables and fruits. Lots of goodies to enjoy there or take home.We stopped by for BBQ but they are closed on Wednesdays (or was it Thursdays?) 😭 So be sure to check the schedule for their restaurant before you make plans.Hoping to try again next time we are in town. Thank you for a peaceful and fun time there.

Such a wonderful place to take the whole family! Super easy to find, and there is a lot of parking. They are requiring a face mask, and practicing social distancing. With that being said be prepared.If you do decide to go to Avila barn, dont forget to stop and see the beautiful sunflowers. They are located down buy the pumpkins, where they do pony rides.This is a dog 🐕 friendly environment.

Great place. Must stop anytime you are in the area! I love supporting locals and experiencing a great family business. The fresh baked pastries smell delightful. The honey is amazing and you cant beat the price. The animals always seem happy and well cared for. There is always something new each time you visit.

Super cute farm stand, lots of gift options. Hay maze and pyramid were lots of fun for the kids. Only negative was they didnt have hay rides available because of school trips scheduled for the day

My husband and I have watched this place grow from a small fruit stand (about 30 years ago) to a bustling family recreation center complete with tri-tip sandwiches, ice cream, grilled artichokes and BERRY TARTS! So fun to watch little kids feeding lettuce to the goats, cows, and pony. The gift shop has the funniest signs and other darling decor and gifts. In the spring and summer they have pony and hay rides. Just down the road is Avila Beach and Sycamore Springs Resort (a hot tub on every patio). This area is my favorite place on earth.

LOVED LOVED LOVED everything about this place. We happened to stumble on this little gem by accident and I am so glad we did. We loved the fact that we were able to feed the farm animals (whole family enjoyed that), we loved the fact that there was a mini market and deli for some healthy snacks, and we loved the roasted corn.I will also say that the weather was perfect and a great location for a quick cute picture place to take of your baby.

We had a wonderful experience here. Nothing was particularly cheap, and some things were a bit expensive, but almost everything they had for sale was either made on site or was local to the area. Wonderful selection of produce and homemade goods. The animals were a lot of fun for the kids. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is a wonderful place to take small children. $3 for a head of lettuce and they can feed the animals. Fantastic fresh, fruits and veggies. We didnt eat any food but the cherry pie was delicious. Great place for a family outing.

Such a cute place. Goats of all sorts, an amazing little market with all sorts of homemade and homegrown items, and a little restaurant. Picnic tables for dinner al fresco. You can buy lettuce to feed the goats.

Love seeing the animals. Fall is my favorite time to go here.. YOU can NOT go into the store here with out a mask. So I couldnt shop at all.. such a bummer

What a lovely hidden gem off the 101. Feed the cute goats, the market is amazing full of fresh produce and gifts, and PIE. They also offer BBQ and their grilled corn is amazing. During October they have a big pumpkin festival but the line to get in is quite long.

So the animals have new pens now and they have piglets that are so adorable. The mini donuts 🍩 are great especially the sea salt and caramel. The corn is $3 and you have to build it yourself now cause of COVID. And its still $3 to feed the animals but they have the cart outside the market they have there.

Great for kids and families. They have great food and ice cream. You can purchase lettuce to feed the farm animals. They also have pick your own fruits and flowers depending on the season.

Fun little adventure got to see donkeys, lamas, ostrich, cows, goats, chickens and horse.

We love Avila Valley Barn and go every time we visit our family in SLO! We have 2 young kids and the love to feed the goats and ride the animals. The food is also delicious. Definitely should be a stop on any trip to Avila Beach.

I loved this place. It was beautiful and I got to see great animals and try great things. I bought melon, water and zucchini bread. I look forward trying it this week for breakfast everyday before I leave to work. Thank you Avila valley for a great time today at to your barn.

I always enjoy my visits to Avila Valley Barn, with my family. We live about 20 minutes away so its a short drive. All I really need to say is get there early, feed the pets and pick out some pumpkins and the hay maze There were probably 200 people around 1ish.

This place is always very busy. They ran put of all baked goods on a Sunday night when we went in for a pie at 5pm. Nice fall decorations and feeding the goats is a fun activity for the whole family.

Very cool place! Live animals to watch, fresh produce to buy. Not to mention ice cream and BBQ!

Nice spot to bring family to hang out and eat.My family and I enjoyed the corn, tri-tip sandwich, baked Brussel sprouts, chicken tenders and ice cream.

Perfect place to spend a day with the kids.#DoACarl

So nice but plan on spending a ton on a 🎃

I love this place! Children like to feed many animals. Theres a pumpkin patch and its so beautiful!

Loved this place so much! It was extremely fun getting to feed all of the animals. Our favorite animal to feed were the cows!! The shopping is so cute and there is lots of local items to purchase, including produce, cheese, and honey among other things. Overall a fun place to stop and check out for an hour or two.

It was ok there was parking but it was about 30 minute wait to go in. They dont charge for parking or to go in but everything else is expensive they have like 8 or 9 goats and some chickens. The only thing I liked about going was the cookies and carrot cake I bought. I probably wouldnt come back next year.

We have been here twice and loved it both times, is small but there is plenty to see and eat as well. Everyone will love something about it.arrive early if you want to get your hands on some bake goods.

Cute place for the kids! My son loved feeding the animals. Lettuce was $2 a head. We personally didnt go into store but it definitely is an adorable place!

Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at SNDTRAVELSStopped by the barn to get some lunch to go. Neat place and the fruit was good. 4 Dapple fire plumcot and a pint each of strawberries and blackberries. Yum yum!

This a must stop place!!! Kids would love it here!

I love this place. SLO has amazing weather and Im so thankful for that, but the downside is that when fall rolls around, I dont get that delightful autumny feeling that I crave. BUT I can go to Avila barn and be surrounded by sunflowers, apple trees, and gigantic and unusual looking Pumpkins. Perhaps not the kind of autumn the rest of the states experience, but good enough for me, and more than perfect for my son and nephews. Just bring shoes you dont mind getting extra dusty. :)

A must visit! An awesome country store with every fruit and vegetable in season, baked and canned goods that you could want. You wont leave without buying something delicious. Plus a small zoo in the back with goats, cows, llamas and an emu just to name a few. Make sure to buy some lettuce to feed them. Also, take the hay ride to see the small farm and what theyre growing.

Very cute! I went during the winter so it wasnt very busy but I can see this being very popular in summer! The goats were adorable and all trying to escape. They also have a great market where you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a good selection of jams and other items!

Wonderful place to visit. Petting zoo u can feed the goat. I bought carrot rasin cake which was amazing. Best Ive ever tasted. Fresh fruit was delicious

I used to love this place and have watched it grow from its very beginning. I was disappointed the experience has changed dramatically. Its more commercial than down home like it used to be. Im not sure Ill back.

This farm is very charming and only a couple minutes from the freeway. Friendly staff, friendly animals and wonderful produce. This is a great place to step back in time and enjoy some simple pleasures.

Definitely one of the TOP 5 highlights of visiting SLO; such a beautiful area of the town, friendly people and tons of selections for fresh veggie’s, sweets, honey and and a whole lot more!Great for just checking out on your own or with friends and family!!Great find..

Great place to stop!!! I dont how weve never been here before. Will definitely be coming back!

Great locally grown products. Theres fun for the kids, animals to feed and a hayride. Also their famous roasted corn on the cob. Good place to buy pumpkins in the fall. Close to the mineral springs.🍎🍑

Very pretty little spot! Worth the stop. They have a super pretty sunflower field!

Absolutely LOVED this place. A bit pricey but I didnt care. Cant wait to return. Nothing best fresh. Plus you can feed the goats

Husband is using a walker. Sidewalk is country style. Very rustic & rough. Lots of people enjoying the place.

An iconic experience of animals, food, fruits and groceries. You can see, touch and even smell the farm. Yes, you smell the goats and chicken from the parking lot.Lots of parking.

We love Avila Barn! We always find something new and we love to feed the animals. Last time we went, we were able to pick our own dahlia bouquets to bring home

Another one of our must go to places when we visit this area! Great pies, fresh fruits and veggies and something for the whole family!
