The Farm Eggsperience is planned especially to delight kids and adults(of all ages) as they enjoy the following: Meet and hold the Chickens and bunny: you all will be going into the coop, to hold, pet and cuddle gentle chickens and bunny.

Paint Plaster of Paris Plaque of horses or chickens: You will enjoy painting a beautiful 3-D plaque to take home. All members of the party will be painting (this is a wonderful family bonding experience as you make keepsake memories to take home).

Interactive Egg Hunt leading to each new adventure

See the big flock(300 egg layers) and identify the Rooster.

Meet Hoot and Odin and Cinnamon the Pony: Hoot is a Tennessee walker/spotted saddle horse and Odin is an Icelandic Horse, two unique breeds. You will learn how to safely feed, approach and walk around a horse and then practice that while petting and feeding carrots.

Horse training "Groundwork": Develop the Horse's trust while teaching him to back up - you will be backing the horse up and then leading him around the pasture area. This is a leadership and confidence exercise.

Horse Ride: Saddle up and learn to steer, stop and back up the horse while on a hand guided ride. (KIds can dress up in a Cowboy hat and fringed half-chaps for pictures).

Unlock the door of the enchanted cottage of Mr. Chicken and fish for candy.

I do an ice cream cake in your choice of flavors, but the part everyone really loves is the ice-cream parlor toppings bar where they can add whipped cream, fudge sauce, cherries, gummy bears, M&Ms to their ice-cream cake. We personalize everything to reflect your child's name and age, including centerpieces, signs over the Horseback Adventure area and Ice-cream parlor table and a sign at the entrance of the Farm. We have 3 ponies which we will pet, feed, lead and ride. We also paint ceramic plaques of chickens and horses, get temporary horse tattoos, meet, and hold the chickens.

Cluck, Cluck – We’re just some of the Hens at Diane’s Eggs. She has over 350 laying hens, so we have lots of sisters. We lay green, brown, white, and blue eggs. Diane calls them Rainbow eggs, and when you open the carton, it is just like looking at candy!

Diane is licensed by the State of California as a “small flock egg producer”. Her farm is at the end of San Miguel Rd., in Bonita. We love it here. Every day, Diane lets us out to run around and we stuff ourselves on all the tasty morsels we find. Then she feeds us our scrumptious food and our very favorite Alfalfa (it’s what makes our egg yolks so orange).

We do our darndest, laying eggs everyday so Diane can deliver them to all our friends and customers around the Eastlake and Bonita area. There is nothing better then fresh eggs from the farm.

Diane can set you up so you can get your eggs delivered on a regular basis (subscription service), where you can get 2 or more dozen delivered to your door. She even has free delivery to many areas in Eastlake (or a small delivery fee if you are outside that area).

All she needs to get you started is your name, address and telephone number. She will contact you about which day of the week she will deliver, and then the morning of your delivery, she texts you to tell you what time she will be there (easy as chicken pot pie!)

You can also pick up your eggs here at the farm, just make sure to call or text a day or two before to make sure she can put eggs aside just for you.

Diane also involves us chickens in other fun things as well. If you are interested, she has a special interactive family program called the Farm Eggsperience, We also do Pony and Farm Birthday Parties and Horseback Riding Lessons. Here’s Diane’s number: (619) 929-2568. Go ahead and give her a call or text.

Horseback riding offers a unique learning experience that extends beyond the confines of traditional educational settings. As riders interact with a living, breathing animal, they develop crucial skills such as patience, empathy, and communication. The physical act of riding engages multiple senses and promotes sensory integration, which can enhance cognitive function and focus. Moreover, the bond formed between rider and horse fosters a sense of responsibility and self-confidence, key attributes that contribute to academic success. Overall, horseback riding serves as a dynamic learning tool that not only strengthens academic performance but also nurtures personal growth and development.
