It's open weekends only, Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., during apple season.

Happy Trails Family Farm grows u-pick pumpkins, squash, and tomatoes on Orchard Street in Tehachapi, and doubles as a petting zoo and pet boarding operation for the same family. It's a working small farm first — the animals and produce rows share the property with the boarding kennels, so call ahead to check what's in season before driving out.

Dries Farms is on Easy Street in the Tehachapi area of Kern County, a high-elevation valley in the Tehachapi Mountains between the San Joaquin Valley and the Mojave. The cooler summers at that elevation support orchard crops and pasture ranching uncommon at lower Central Valley elevations. No further confirmed details on what Dries Farms grows or sells.

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.
