Horseback Riding can build confidence and leadership skills. This is a personalized 6 session riding program which will not only teach how to ride, but also how to form a bond with the horse, learn to trust and self-regulate. The final session is a trail ride or a personalized treasure hunt and a horseback riding medal to acknowledge their accomplishment

What a great way to celebrate! Your Party is all-inclusive (meaning all you have to provide is Pizza or we can provide lunch for an additional charge). I do an ice cream cake in your choice of flavors, but the part everyone really loves is the ice-cream parlor toppings bar where they can add whipped cream, fudge sauce, cherries, gummy bears, M&Ms to their ice-cream cake. We personalize everything to reflect your child's name and age, including centerpieces, signs over the Horseback Adventure area and Ice-cream parlor table and a sign at the entrance of the Farm. We have 3 ponies which we will pet, feed, lead and ride. We also paint ceramic plaques of chickens and horses, get temporary horse tattoos, meet, and hold the chickens. Finally, we do an egg hunt which leads to the Enchanted Cottage, where the kids will get to fish for special surprises (candy). I include everything, tablecloths, napkins, plates, decorations The party package is $700 for 20 partygoers (children and adults). Additional partygoers are $25 each (we can accommodate up to 100).

Meet the Hens of Hoot’s Hollow Farm
Cluck, cluck! We’re just a few of the happy hens at Hoot’s Hollow farm, and we have over 300 sisters scratching and pecking beside us. Together, we lay the most beautiful green, blue, brown, and white eggs you’ve ever seen—Diane (our farmer) calls them her Rainbow Eggs. When you open a carton, it looks like a box of candy… all natural and laid with love!
Diane is licensed by the State of California as a small flock egg producer, and she takes amazing care of us. Every morning we stretch our wings, roam the farm, nibble tasty treats we find in the pasture, and then finish the day with scrumptious feed and our all-time favorite—fresh alfalfa! (It’s our secret to those richly colored orange yolks.)
We work our feathers off laying eggs so Diane can share them with families in Bonita, Eastlake, and beyond. There’s nothing quite like a truly fresh the-same-day-it-was-laid egg from a happy hen.
Egg Pricing & Pickup
Our delicious Rainbow Eggs are $10 per dozen and are available for pickup only right here at the farm.
Just text or call Diane at (619) 929-2568 to reserve your dozen—we hens lay fast, but the eggs disappear even faster!
And while you’re here, you can learn about all the delightful things happening on the farm—our Farm Eggsperience, horseback riding lessons, and magical farm birthday parties.
Come visit us soon… we love showing off our beautiful eggs!
Cluck-cluck! 🐔🌈 -
Are you looking to add some excitement and unique learning tools to your homeschool program?
We offer several Homeschool Programs including the Horseback Discovery Leadership Program, Homeschool on the Farm and Homeschooling with Horses.
Hoot’s Hollow Farm is an approved vendor for Pacific Coast Academy (PCA).
Horseback riding offers a unique learning experience that extends beyond the confines of traditional educational settings. As riders interact with a living, breathing animal, they develop crucial skills such as patience, empathy, and communication. The physical act of riding engages multiple senses and promotes sensory integration, which can enhance cognitive function and focus. Moreover, the bond formed between rider and horse fosters a sense of responsibility and self-confidence, key attributes that contribute to academic success. Overall, horseback riding serves as a dynamic learning tool that not only strengthens academic performance but also nurtures personal growth and development.
Welcome to The Farm
Hi, I’m Diane Carter, your neighbor in Bonita, CA. After retirement, my husband and I decided to change our diet, in order to improve our health. As part of that I started raising chickens in order to get healthy eggs. I took a class put on by University California, Davis, and learned about Pasture-Raised chickens and how to become licensed by the state of California. I thought other people in the area might be interested in healthy eggs and decided to get licensed. That was 5 years ago. During Covid, I opened the farm to families, and started the “Farm Eggsperience”. We also offer the Horseback Discovery Program, Homeschooling activities, children’s Pony Parties, and a Venue space for parties and weddings.
Welcome to Hoot’s Hollow Farm, Bonita CA.
