We love their family days, which have great farm to table food ( they grow the best salad greens in their greenhouse and have loved the seasonal menu cooked over an open fire grill, and they usually have gluten free options). We’ve done a few of their conservation tours and I’m so impressed by the massive native plants at greenhouse. Live music in a beautiful spot with room for the kids to run around and play in the kids garden, great food and plenty to do, and there’s even a farm stand to grab some unique heirloom produce on your way out. I can’t recommend this spot enough for folks who want to connect their families with the land through environmental stewardship.

Spectacular river side farm and farm stand. With plenty of wilderness conserved for one to enjoy, we saw chickadees, kinglets, juncos, robins, eagles, geese migrating and a distant hawk all while exploring their native areas. Produce with the garden fresh flavor, plenty of WA products to make a substantial grocery run.

Visited to pick up some pumpkins. We got some nice ones, then got a pretty good hot dog. We wound up walking around some of the nearby trails through the little bit of forest next to it, it was gorgeous! The activities to do when you’re there aren’t *amazing,* but it was still a good outing. Their general food is good too!

Oxbow visits are great experiences: we've been to the Fall Festival, on a regular day (to visit the farm stand and just walk the trails), and to a Member Day.When there's food it's delicious, the farm stand selection is great (so many native plants, very well labeled!), staff are always so nice. Our whole family loves Oxbow, good for every age from kid to grandparents.

The Farm is beautiful and fun but they no longer have food trucks for Oxtober and the kitchen ran out of all but 1 food item (corn) by 1:30pm. My family fully expected to have lunch here but were left hungry. This is a paid event with pre-registration, I don't understand how you run out of food mid event. Disappointed.

My family and I visited for the Oxtober festival and had a really nice time, despite the rain. I loved that entrance was free considering how unnecessarily expensive so many other fall festivals seem to be.The fresh produce stand had gorgeous vegetables. We had no problems with parking. My kids loved the apple slingshot. I was initially concerned about food waste when I saw this activity on the website, but they use apples that have fallen off the trees and are rotting anyway.Pumpkin decorating was a hit too. But by far, my kids' favorite area was the living playground. I'm pretty sure we spent hours there, running around, hiding, and exploring. Such a creative and beautiful play area for kids.Food offerings were definitely more unique than some other fall festivals, but lacked in variety for picky toddlers.There were also small touches that I thought were great like hand washing stations outside porter potties and next to the pumpkin decorating stand.

Oxbow Farm is an amazing gift to my family. It has been the highlight of our “stay at home summer.” We have been visiting once a week to pick up veggies through their csa program. We have enjoyed walking the farm and beautiful trail around the little lake, picking raspberries, snap peas,strawberries and the best u pick flower garden ever. Each of the farmers and staff we have had interaction with have been more than gracious and kind. Thank you oxbow staff for allowing us the generous opportunity to see and experience the farm.

Farm camp for my 7 year-old daughter was the absolute highlight of her summer - wonderful, caring counselors and lots of time for both playing and learning. She came back each evening content, tired, grubby, and bursting with veggie information. Pretty much the perfect summer camp. :)

What an amazing experience! Super friendly staff who were GREAT at educating the kids and keeping them engaged the whole field trip. What an awesome way to expose your kids to where our food comes from. Well done! Even in the pouring rain

Just spent this past Saturday at Oxbow with my family, and it was a great time for all of us. We participated in one of their workshops and had a picnic on the farm. Oxbow is a beautiful farm/conservation center. Each staff member I met was incredibly kind and you can tell the passion they have for the work they do.

I was super tired on a long ride. The wonderful person running the stand comped me the handful of tasty carrots I grabbed as a snack. I must have looked pretty worn out. The carrots were yummy. They complimented my Clif Bars.

They treat their employees and interns really horribly. The Oxbow crew like to operate under the guise of an organic conscious community but really it’s just all about profits and money and driving your workers as hard as possible with less than a living wage. I’ve worked for them and multiple people I know. There are plenty of neighboring farms that treat their people much better. They also have caused allot of resentment towards them by neighboring smaller farms by setting a monopoly on their prices and agreements with grocery chains in the area, that makes it hard for other farms to do business apart from their CSS programs. Maybe that’s just capitalism and business. But they certainly are ruthlessly different the image they portray to the community in The Valley.

It's second year when I went to Oxbow farm for pumpkin festival with my family. There was my kids school event hosted in this farm. It's good farm and very close to Redmond where you can spend 2-3 hours. There was HayRoom, hayride, music, farm visit and more.

They have a pretty good selection of pumpkins BUT as others have said customer service is not good at Oxbow. The man "directing traffic" just limply pointed at an area, then got mad that we didn't take the spot he wanted. The workers are rude and the pricing just seems inconsistent. Wish I would have gone else where.

Dedicated team, mission-driven, community-centric. Thank you, Oxbow Farm for supporting our emergency food system through gleaning and produce donations to Hopelink food banks!

Poor selection, rude customer service! I felt I waisted my morning driving all the way there. Would not recommend the drive.
