10 SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | DECEMBER 2025 By eresa Rossetti, Resident If this title resonates with you, you have raised children, have grandkids or great grandkids or you yourself are bored of the same old, same old. What to do with them, or yourself, on a day when you just want to go out and DO SOMETHING, but you don't want to go far? After all you must be home for Jeopardy, or The Game, or some event, or whatever. Which leads me to a new business not far from us, with cute animals and both tasty and useful products for sale. Better still, they have a Petting Zoo and Farm Tours to keep the kids amused and provide a teachable moment for adults as well. Recently the owners moved their farm from Ontario (the one in California, not the one in Canada). With every good intention to check it out when it opened, I immediately did not do that at all. And every time we drove past, I vowed again. Fortunately, after seeing and purchasing a few of their cheeses at a local farm stand, I was hooked. I now have three small tubs in my freezer (sold frozen at the farm) with plans for snacking and attempting a cheesy pasta sauce. As an active farm, making cheese, soaps and lotions from their goat's milk, they are open to the public on Saturdays only, from 10 am till 2 pm. During those hours they also have a petting zoo area with goat feed available for purchase. Recently they have added monthly Farm Tours; tickets must be purchased in advance on their website. So where is it? Leaving SDV exit to Warren going south. Instead of turning toward Domenigoni, stay straight on Simpson. The farm is on the north side (right-side for the directionally challenged) about halfway between Warren and Winchester. If you need to program your GPS, the address is 33920 Simpson Rd., Winchester, CA. It's a bit tough to see the entrance going west, easier if you're driving in the opposite direction. Wear sneakers!
