I don't know why I'd never been to this place before? Done the train, carrousel, hiked, even swam in Lake Anza, but never made it to the farm. Glad we went!Checked it out on a lark last Sunday morning. Arrived around 10:00 am and the parking lot was already getting close to full. Note: they have a sign that says no carrots. So be sure to load up on lettuce. Some folks had celery but, to me, the lettuce seemed more popular with the animals.It's free, so that's awesome. There are a couple barns with furry chickens and I believe they were bunnies. They had two big cows in a pen and two huge pigs. An adjacent pen had a menagerie of geese, ducks, and chickens. The pens all have spaces so little ones can see from a low perspective. You don't need to be lifting your kids the whole time for them to see.Walk up the hill and there are larger pens with a dozen or so sheep. Ewes and Rams. Friendly and eager to munch on lettuce. Some had clearly been well-fed as they were indifferent to the offerings. But, they'll still come up on the fence and you can pet them.There's also a small nature center adjacent to the farm. They had a storytelling program going on but we didn't stay for that. A couple dioramas and some educational materials re the local wildlife and ecology. The kids were engaged.All-in-all this was a fabulous adventure and I'm very glad we went. One of those unique outings that makes the Bay Area such a great place to live.

It’s a well-stocked little farm with cows, chickens, pigs, ducks, sheep, rabbits, and goats. You can feed the animals celery and lettuce if you bring it. Celery and lettuce is not available onsite so you will need to bring your own. It’s very popular with the kids. The farm is fun to walk and explore. It’s all stroller and wheelchair accessible. The resource center is worth a stop. It has many interesting displays, and if your timing is good, the rangers there may bring out an animal. They brought out a king snake while we were there. There is parking onsite and plenty of open space for picnics.

We were visiting family in the Berkeley area and was looking for some activities to do on a budget. We stumbled across Tilden Little Farm and was told by our relatives to bring lettuce and celery for the animals. Our kids were young and a bit scared at first with the feeding (big cow) but in the end they loved the experience. FYI, the produce goes quick.

Great day trip for kids or couples! Good variety of animals and I love that you can bring as much lettuce or celery as you want to feed them yourselves (they much prefer the lettuce by the way!) My husband and I make a date day out of Little Farm a couple times a year and cant wait to take kids here someday.

Love this place! Be sure to bring celery and/or lettuce to feed the animals. It'll be a bummer if you show up and everyone else brought tasty treats for the animals when there's nowhere to buy anything to feed them!
