We had a wonderful experience at Lauren and Mack’s farm! Several of the goat mommas had just had babies, so we got to milk the goats, bottle feed some babies and, of course, play with them! They also have chickens, ducks, pigs, cats and dogs. And somehow all of the animals are so sweet and social.
Lauren and Mack were great hosts and made wonderful breakfasts and a delicious salmon dinner with homemade sourdough bread. Almost everything came right from their farm.
The location is great. Aptos is a nice, small town with plenty of restaurants, and it is close to the larger beach cities. Lots of great hikes, whether you’re looking for redwoods or beachfront.
As others have mentioned, this is not just a place to crash. It is a whole experience. We look forward to coming back one day with our son.
If you’re thinking about booking, just know: Must love animals!
