Avila Valley Barn


At this rural farm stand and pick-your-own berry farm, you can park alongside the sheep and goat pens, lick an ice-cream cone, then grab a basket and walk out into the fields to harvest jammy olallieberries in late spring and early summer, peaches and nectarines mid-summer, or apples and pumpkins in autumn. During summer, kids can enjoy rides on tractors or ponies.
