DeJongs Dairy Farm - Wildomar

Above: Baby goat only a few weeks old at DeJong Dairy Farm in Wildomar

Looking for some FAMILY FARM FUN!?! Then you MUST visit DeJong's Dairy Farm in Wildomar.

Open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m.
31910 Corydon Rd
Wildomar, CA 92595
951-674-2910

My daughters and I have visited the DeJong Dairy Farm several times. In fact just writing about it makes me crave their most delicious chocolate milk! At the farm you can arrange ahead of time to go on a tour of the facility. You will need to gather a small group of friends (10) and make a reservation. The tour is about 1 hour long and the cost is only $3 per person 1 year and older. The tour will take you through the milking/bottling process then back to see/feed the cows and finshes with some cold chocolate milk and cookies! If you are lucky, and we were the first time, you may even be able to see/feed a baby calf. The children can also feed the many various animals they have at the front of the farm. No tours are scheduled during the summer months.

You can also visit the farm to just pick up milk, visit the animals, or have a picnic.

Things to know: The farm can be very hot in the summer with lots of flies. Bring sunscreen, hat, and closed toe shoes. There are picnic tables and partial shade. There is a port a potty on site. They have feed for the animals for purchase at 25 cents per baggie and a small quick mart where you can purchase milk and other snacks.

Below are some articles about DeJong's Dairy Farm

And... the Adventure BEGINS!

Well, the adventure actually began about 3.5 years ago when I had my first daughter, Kallan. Before I had Kallan I was a Kindergarten teacher. I loved my job, my students, and my colleagues. I knew I wanted to stay home with my children, but I didn't know how strongly I would feel about this until I held Kallan in my arms. So home I stayed, and my wonderful husband works extra hard so that we can keep it that way. As my adventure began as a new mother I realized that there were so many wonderful things about mommyhood that I wanted to learn and know about. I needed to surround myself with other moms who were going through the same joys and challenges as myself. I joined a local free breastfeeding support group that was hosted by the hospital where I gave birth. I remember the first time I went to the group. I was so proud of myself for getting out the door with baby and to the group on time, I walked through the door and KNEW I had found the right place for me! I saw a room full of mothers with babies of all ages, all with bags under their eyes, spit up on their shirts, sweatpants, sneakers, diaper bags the size of carry on luggage, strollers, etc. AND most importantly the sympathetic lactation consultant who was a cheerleader, fact finder, and shoulder to cry on. I am forever grateful for that find because I formed friendships with other moms who join me, and support me on my adventures!

From that breastfeeding group a moms group was formed where we could begin meeting up at other places. We soon found out that keeping our growing, exploring, busy little babies entertained was our newest challenge! And this is where the Adventures with Tiny People begins...

My family has grown a lot in the past 3.5 years, from Walsh Party of TWO to Walsh Party of FIVE! We now have three beautiful daughters. They keep us very busy, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

This blog is for all the moms, dads, and families in the Inland Empire who are looking for FUN, KID-FRIENDLY, FAMILY ADVENTURES!
