A short drive outside of San Diego will reward you with a laid-back, family-friendly vibe at Off the Wall.

They describe themselves as "part-time farmers, full time crazy" and that just begins to reveal this fun and friendly family farm hidden in the hills of Lakeside. In 2013, Allison and her husband moved their family to this quaint 5-acre lot with no animals but a dream and the resources to build a farm. It quickly came true as they added chickens and horses to start filling out their land. They now care for two horses (Gio and Alvie), two pigs (Wilbur and Charlotte), chickens, and of course the real show winner - their adorable dog Pozey!

Allison offers farm tours for families to meet, feed, and hang out with their little animal family. From start to finish your visit will feel relaxed and educational and the kids will have a blast interacting with all of their friendly animals, If you're lucky there may even be baby chicks to pet! Children will enjoy feeding the chickens, grooming and feeding the horses, feeding and hanging out with the pigs, and of course throwing the ball for the real tour guide, Pozey.

Each visit is also rewarded with a dozen fresh farm eggs to take home and a delicious ice sweet treat for the kiddos! This is the perfect outing to show your family a little about farm life in San Diego.
