It’s not a surprise we live in one beautiful place. Newlyweds honeymoon here. Couples return for grand anniversary trips. But I do think the sweetest visitors to our area are the young parents who are sharing this special place with their sweet growing family. Being welcomed into their time here and helping them create lasting memories that each of them will look back on for decades to come makes my heart burst.

This crew has visited MarFarm more than once, and they will be quick to tell you it’s their favorite. The kids walk around as if this is the land they’ve grown up with—knowing the animals by name, showing me around to their favorite nooks and crannies—it’s heart-melting to see them feel so comfortable in a place you know has come to mean so much to them.

If you haven’t been before, MarFarm is pure magic. Located in the heart of gorgeous Edna Valley, with views of the rolling hills and fields that are dabbled with either vineyards, citrus groves, cattle and horses—every turn, there is so much beauty and life to see and soak in.
