Welcome to our new web site for 2026!

We have been hard at work on both farms and we are excited to share it all with you!

Opening weekend will be May 2-3, 2026.

Important Message About Opening Weekend in Aptos.:

Hi. It’s us. The deer.
We just wanted to say… we had an amazing time at Cabrillo Cottage Farms. Truly unforgettable. Five stars. Would absolutely return (and we did).

Those new rose plants you put in?

Incredible. Chef’s kiss.

So tender. So fresh. Honestly, some of our best work yet.

We may have… gotten a little carried away.

(Okay, a lot carried away.)

Because of our late-night snacking adventures, the humans now have to push opening day to June 6. They’re calling it “damage”… we’re calling it “exceptional taste.”

They asked us to say sorry.

So… sorry-ish.

In the meantime, they said you can still visit Birdsong Orchards on Saturdays in May (we hear there are snacks there too), and don’t miss their Mother’s Day event on May 10 in Watsonville—we’ll try to behave.

Thanks for understanding.

Sincerely,

The Deer Family
