Tom's Farms

Tom's Farms is a family entertainment and marketplace complex spread across 46 acres with 16 buildings housing restaurants, shops, a farmers market, and amusement attractions. The property combines a working produce market with recreational rides and vendor spaces in a single sprawling location.

The site began in 1971 as a small produce stand founded by Tom Barnes, who relocated from Kansas City to California. The original fruit and vegetable stand gradually expanded over the decades to become the larger marketplace it is today.

Weekend craft fairs draw local artisans and makers who display their handmade goods and regional products alongside visitors browsing the booths. You can meet the people behind the crafts and learn their stories directly.

The amusement areas operate mainly on weekends and charge a small entrance fee, with the property being large so comfortable shoes are helpful. Parking is available and the grounds are flat, making it easy to walk around the entire site.

Despite being a large marketplace and entertainment complex today, the original produce stand from the 1970s still operates daily, serving its core function. This continuity shows how the original concept has remained central while everything around it transformed completely.
