Underwood Family Farms, Moorpark

Underwood Family Farms is a large farm with tons for families to do! On weekends it's packed with people enjoying the idyllic atmosphere.

Included in your entry fee is a hay ride to the veggie and strawberry fields. You fill plastic containers with produce you pick yourself and then pay for your harvest at the front store.
The grounds at Underwood Family Farms are meticulously maintained and there are things to inspire kids' imaginations everywhere- a tower of hay blocks to climb, harvester tractor to pretend to drive, tunnels under hills, slides down tractor shoots, long wooden trains to climb, a shaded sand pit, a Percheron draft horse to greet, and female Scottish Highlander cows with the most beautiful horns. There are animal shows featuring cows, pigs, and chickens kids can touch. The best animals at the farm are the pygmy goats that balance with their cloven hooves on ramps above your head, like tightrope walkers! Kids can feed the pygmy goats via a pulley. Plaques with information on the animals are posted throughout the farm. The scenery surrounding the farm- hills, orchards, and strands of trees- is pretty. You can spend hours here so make an afternoon of it!
If you're hungry, drive back on Highway 23 to Janss Marketplace for a meal in a beautiful outdoor mall with musical water fountain.
