Painted Pony

The Painted Pony Farm on Santa Paula Ojai Road in Santa Paula is a family farm that Steve and Pam Colvard have opened to visiting children since 1987. Its farm days are booked tours for classrooms and groups rather than a walk-in pumpkin patch.

Can we just show up?

The farm describes itself as open for group tours, so book ahead rather than dropping in. Call (805) 525-9820 to ask about a visit.

What do kids do on a tour?

The tour is hands-on. Children get to hold a baby chick and a bunny, learn how to milk a dairy goat, and pick apples from the orchard and pumpkins from the patch.
