Can We Just Walk Around the Farm?
Yes, and no.
Sometimes a guest will ask the question, "where is the blacksmith?" "Where is Patrick Henry?" "Can't we just come up and walk around and see everything that's going on?"
Our living history programs are conducted at specific times and for fixed durations. It's always best to reserve time in one of our scheduled events. Click here for more details. You can also call Jan at 909-797-7534 ext. 201 and she can give you the scoop on today's activities. Jan is a local mom who loved taking her family to Riley's Farm and started working for us.

What about picknicking? If you participate in one of our programs or buy lunch or dinner items from the bakery, there are picnic tables and lots of green grass all across the farm for picnicking.

What do we wear? Oak Glen weather is FICKLE. The summers are usually very mild but we always recommend that guests bring layered clothing in case the weather turns cold or windy. The farm is 4800-5200 feet above sea level.
