There’s nothing to say about the fame of California. With its amazing cities and natural wonders, it automatically becomes a part of your dream destinations. It houses several of the country’s most talked about attractions, such as Disneyland and Golden Gate Bridge. Many amazing natural treasures also lie in California, including Lake Tahoe, Death Valley National Park, Kings Canyon National Parks, and Yosemite National Park.

Want to experience a unique adventure in California? Imagine waking up to the sound of chirping birds, the mooing of cows, and the gurgling of a stream nearby. Let’s introduce you to a more interesting facet of California. Apart from the sun, the sand, and the surf, California is home to some amazing farmlands that produce more food than any other part of the country. It is time to break the stereotype and experience the fresh and greener side of California. Go farm hopping, be it in Irvine, Tecopa, or Camarillo. Far from your average accommodations and just perfect for your next getaway in this western US state, read on for our list of the best farm stays in California, USA.

Event to look out for:

  • Farm-to-Fork Festival, Sacramento: If you're visiting California in September and wish to experience a wholesome event, stop by Sacramento. This city, lovingly called America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital, hosts a huge free-admission food event called the Farm-to-Fork Festival each year. Along with fresh produce sourced from the city's millions of acres of surrounding farmlands, you can enjoy live music, beer, wine, and much more!

What to look forward to in California:

  • U-Pick Farms: Bring your kids along to enjoy a delightful experience in California's many U-pick farms. Just get a bucket or bag from the owners or managers of the farm, pick your favorite fruits or vegetables from the farm, and pay later according to the weight. Some top U-pick farms include Tanaka Farms in Irvine, Temecula Berry Company in Temecula, and Riverdance Farms in Livingston. Make sure to check the website for each farm to know when the best time to visit is.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on January 12, 2025.
