About The Big Red Barn, Murray Family Farms

The Big Red Barn at Murray Family Farms in Di Giorgio offers seasonal activities centered on picking and farm experiences. Visitors participate in U-Pick family fun and visit the famous Bakersfield Pumpkin Patch on weekends. The farm features an Animal Garden accessible through a Family Fun Tunnel. The Cal-Okie Orchard Kitchen, located on the farm, serves comfort food including the Okie Pie. Murray Family Farms grows produce using regenerative and organic methods, harvesting fruit at peak ripeness rather than just maturity. The farm augments soil annually with hundreds of thousands of pounds of composted organic matter and employs practices including cover crops, crop rotation, and minimized synthetic inputs. The operation maintains Farm Markets across the region offering seasonally grown fruits and vegetables. Families visiting the farm engage with animals, pick their own produce, and explore the working agricultural environment where the food is grown.
