Bakersfield's F Street Farmers Market is the city's longest-running certified market, held every Saturday from 7:45 a.m. to noon along F Street. Every vendor has to grow or make what they're selling — no resellers — so tables run heavy on farm eggs, pasture-raised meat and poultry, organic produce, and artisan baked goods rather than imported produce.

Indian Point Ostrich Ranch opened to the public in 1995 as one of the largest working ostrich ranches in the western United States, offering close-up encounters with the birds that founders called 'Os-Trich-izing.' The ranch operated at this Tehachapi location for over 30 years. Recent posts from the ranch indicate operations have been scaled back and partly relocated to Jamestown, California, so visitors should confirm current hours before making the drive.
