From the reviews
A Magical, Hands-On Farm Experience! Our visit to Back to Eden Ranch was absolutely perfect. Owners Andrew and Jasmin have created such a clean, wonderful environment where it’s clear both the animals and the guests are incredibly happy.
We had a wonderful time staying at their guest house and visiting the petting zoo! Took my family, including 3 years old nephew, during the thanksgiving week and we absolutely loved meeting Jasmine and Andrew and their happy animals. We also got to pick pomegranates and furu persimmons.
Back-to-Eden Ranch Petting Zoo was honestly one of the best farm experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, the husband and wife who own the farm were incredibly welcoming, kind, and genuinely passionate about what they do. You can immediately tell they truly love and care for every single animal there.
We had a wonderful experience at the ranch. You can tell that Jasmine really loves what she does. The animals are super cute and in great hands. We really loved interacting with all of them especially the cute baby goats that will nibble, tickle your fingers and jump on your back !
Getting married at Back to Eden Ranch
Back to Eden Ranch comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
Corporate events & private parties at Back to Eden Ranch
Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Back to Eden Ranch — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
