We had a very exciting morning here at FairView Farms. One of our lovely cows gave birth to TWINS, born an hour apart from each other! We arrived on the scene around 11:30 a.m. so they were still slightly slimy and a little dazed and confused, but they were already trying to stand up and…
Meet Max's Barn Animal Friends
While we love our cows, goats and sheep, it’s always fun to make a new friend or two at the Fair. This year we have a brand new show called Max’s Barn Animal Friends and they are a “hoot” (pun intended). When you think of farm animals you typically think of your pigs, horses and…
Lily's Sheep Emporium
The Big Red Barn at FairView Farms is packed with all sorts of adventures! One of the fun shows we have is Lily’s Sheep Emporium, where you can learn all about sheep shearing. Take a sit on one of our bales of hay and learn about the different types of wool there are and the…
Two Baby Goats Born!
Our two newest Fair residents were birthed today over at FairView Farms this afternoon! Say hello to our little (furry, cute) friends: See them for yourself! We are still doing daily giveaways. Our most recent one is on the post below.
Did You Know Angora Goats' Wool Makes Mohair Sweaters?
Neither did I! But after spending a morning with Sky Shivers, the handlebar-mustached Oklahoman cowboy/farmer who coordinates the Fair’s popular FairView Farms, I learned a lot of things. And so will you after visiting the Farm. Sky and his “posse” have really boosted the educational foundation of the Farm but you’re having so much fun,…
Pomona Kids Dig What’s Growing at FairView Farms
Did you know carrots aren’t just orange? They can be black (actually deep purple), pink, and white. And mint can come in all kinds of flavors, including chocolate mint. Imagine, a candy bar in a leaf … delish! That’s just what about 50 kids from Pomona Hope, a local non-profit community organization, learned when they…
70 Days 'Til Pure.Fun.
Holy cow! Does the counter on the L.A. County Fair website really say 70 days until the Fair?! Yes, it does. That’s only 1,680 hours away (actually, about 1,677). And have we got a show in store for you! We are so excited about the new attractions, Fair favorites (Hot Dog on a Stick! I…
Yaks, Donkeys and Goats, Oh My!
One of my favorite spots at the Fair, probably my most favorite spot, is FairView Farms and the Big Red Barn®. There is something serene about communing with the cows, goats and all the other critters that inhabit the farm. During the Fair we have our resident cowboy Sky Shivers who comes from his home…
Ice Cream… Anyone??
I love food – I can’t help it! When I’m eating I think about how delicious it is and when I am not eating I am planning my next meal. I have to say that working on this year’s L.A. County Fair is not helping much. All of this food talk just makes me hungrier.…
Hello, Have You Met My Friend the 1,400 Lb. Angus Cow?
Well, you must come to the L.A. County Fair to do so. She and two of her friends arrived at FairView Farms today bursting with life – literally! The three – two Black Angus and one Red – are expecting. With a little luck, they will deliver during Fair hours, which will provide our Fairguests…
