Had a great birthday with my husband and kids doing the cheese making tour. This is a family farm and you can tell that they love what they do. I had a great time and learned a lot!

This tour was the highlight of our family vacation! Tina was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed our time there and wished we could have stayed longer! There were 3 kids that had just been born and our girls loved holding them. I loved the alpaca that gives kisses.

My wife and I were vacationing in Pismo Beach recently and she found this nearby farm that sounded interesting. It was just the two of us in our group so it was easy for us to ask TINA questions about the Farm and her very friendly animals. The Alpacas, Goats and Pigs were very tame and allowed us to pet and feed them veggies TINA supplied us with. It was a pleasant outing that lasted about an hour. I took away ONE STAR due to the fact her two VERY large dogs felt the need to mark all four of the tires and rims on our vehicle with urine. Apparently this is a normal occurrence for her dogs, as TINA told us that was what the dogs were doing when they walked over to our vehicle as we stood near the barn / building and watched it happen.

I put the location onto my Google Maps & had no trouble finding the farm. There is a sandwich board in front of the farm if you do get lost but we found it pretty easy to find. We were immediately greeted by Tina and her LGD's when we pulled into the red barn. We were also greeted by a small dog named Birdie who was the sweetest. Tina and her husband were super welcoming and friendly. You can tell she truly cares about all the animals that she owns. We did the 1 hour tour and saw various animals such as alpacas, goats, pigs, chickens and turkeys. Tina also gave us carrots & snap peas to feed the alpacas & goats. We even got to hold a baby goat that was 5 days old! Tina also makes her own goat milk soap & lotion! Overall, the experience was affordable and you got to get up close with the animals. I would definitely come back for the tour when we pass through the area again. Thanks so much Tina & David :)

We stopped by today and had the best animal farm tour ever. Tina was so warm and welcoming so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The love and care she gives the animals on the farm is evident. Feel amazing to support businesses like this one. When you visit this place it feels like you are a guest and not just a customer. We will be coming back soon when they have baby goats.

I went to the Giving Tree Family farm with five friends for my bachelorette and we had a spectacular time! We were greeted by Tina, her three dogs, and her husband David. Tina gave us a tour of the farm where we got to meet and feed goats, alpacas, and pigs. Tina treated us to fresh coffee cake and fruit while we watched and learned about how to make soap with goat milk. We each got to choose from a wide variety of soap bars to take home with us- I chose one called "Buck Off" that helps get any scent off your hands and smells like fresh coffee. This was the highlight of my bachelorette weekend and would recommend this place to people of all ages!

We wanted to do something special with the kids during our visit to SLO. I stumbled upon this experience on AirBnB and reached out privately to learn more. Tina responded so quickly and scheduled a private tour for our family of 4. Tina and her 2 huge livestock dogs greeted us upon our arrival. We got carrots and snap peas in baggies with simple and clear instructions on how to behave around the animals. Tina has so much knowledge to share and we had an amazing time! My 9 and 5 year old did great with the animals. The 9 year old chose to stay outside the fenced area and kept her distance while the 5 year old was brave enough to go in. Tina and her husband were very kind and caring of our cues. The animals were all friendly and loved having us around. We got to see a lot of goats, alpacas, chickens, turkeys, dogs, 3 piggies and a cat! I definitely recommend checking this farm out! It's a small family farm with a lot of heart. We loved this experience. Next time, I would love to check out Tina's other offerings!

My family and I went to Paso Robles for the weekend and on our way back we stopped at the Giving Tree farm. The kids loved it, especially my son. He really enjoyed feeding the animals. At first my daughter was a little apprehensive, but once she got comfortable she enjoyed herself. The owners really care about the animals there and take good care of them. I loved that we got to learn a lot about the animals and the farm itself.

What a fantastic find on AirBnB Experiences! My old high school friend and I decided we needed a Covid break from our everyday lives. We picked somewhere in the middle between us, that happens to be Paso Robles. We stayed for a weekend at our AirBnB place talking, eating and reconnecting. We both like to do new things and AirBnB is fantastic for listing cool things to do in whatever area you're staying. The owner and dogs warmly greet you when you drive up. They introduce the program and brief you on their safety measures and precautions. You get a little history lesson and lesson of all the animals they keep. The best thing is that they provide you with a small bag of veggies and fruit that you're allowed to feed the animals. We walked amongst goats, alpacas, pigs, turkeys, guinea fowl and their two sweet dogs.After the tour of the animals, you are treated to a light snack of fruit, crackers and homemade goat cheese produced from the milk of the goats right there on the farm. There's a lesson on making goats milk soap followed up with a crafting project. We felted a bar of the goats milk soap. All the materials and entertainment are included with your fee. This was a fantastic way to spend 3 (+) hours with friends and good company. My friend enjoyed it so much she's bringing her husband and kids back to visit soon!
