If you are looking for a cheerful way to enjoy the season, the CPP Kellogg Ranch Holiday Market is a great place to spend a December evening. The event takes place on Saturday, December 13, from 3 to 7 p.m., and brings together handmade gifts, festive food, and holiday charm across the ranch.

Families can browse unique items from local artisans, sample seasonal treats from food vendors, and take advantage of special deals at the Farm Store and Nursery. There will be agriculture demonstrations throughout the event, and several Cal Poly Pomona and Huntley College of Agriculture clubs will be on site to share hands on activities and information.

As the sun sets, the ranch transforms with twinkling holiday lights that make the whole place feel warm and inviting. One of the crowd favorites will be the appearance of the three wise alpacas Huey, Dewey, and Louie dressed in their festive outfits. They will be joined by the petting farm herd and student team, offering plenty of photo opportunities and fun interactions for kids.

Activities and Pricing

Families can choose either the Online Bundle for 10 dollars per person, which includes admission, a feed cup, VIP photo prop access, the petting farm, and a hay wagon ride, or select à la carte pricing at the gate. The à la carte options include admission, feed cups, petting farm access, and hay wagon rides at individual prices.

Before You Go

Kellogg Ranch is a working farm, so closed-toe shoes and sun or wind protection are recommended. Walkways may include dirt paths and uneven ground. Guests needing ADA accommodations can contact kelloggranch@cpp.edu. Advance notice is encouraged to allow time for arrangements.

The Holiday Market is a cozy and welcoming way to enjoy local shopping while taking in the sparkle of the ranch at night. It is a lovely mix of farm life and seasonal celebration, and a fun outing for families in our community.
