Book Family Farm

Book Family Farm

History

Established in 1984, the Book Family Farm began as a small pumpkin patch inspired by Grandma Book's need for a nursery school field trip activity for the school she directed. The idea was embraced by the entire community and soon became a setting for educational field trips that included horse drawn wagon rides, petting farm animals, learning about farming, and picking a pumpkin.

The Book Family Farm rapidly expanded in both popularity and size, outgrowing their 10 acre location on Shasta Avenue in Chico. Subsequently in 1987, more land was required, necessitating a move to the present 250-acre site along Highway 99 in Durham, California.

Within a matter of time the entire Book Family established residence at the farm, including Grandpa and Grandma Book, their 3 children, spouses, and 11 grandchildren. A true family farm! More acreage and the entire family at one location afforded us the opportunity to provide a wider array of activities and services.

2004 marked the 20th anniversary of the Book Family Farms annual harvest festival and its interaction within the local community. Like our own family, we have grown and changed over the years and look forward to meeting the ever changing needs of the community in the future. Please give us a call and let us help you create your next memorable experience.
