Tanaka Farms Tours, Orange County, CA

Tours

We at Tanaka Farms want to educate children where fruits and vegetables come from, where and how they grow. So back in 1998 we started our first Strawberry Tour. No where else in Orange County was there such a thing, let alone in Irvine!! To this day we have still run the Strawberry Tours (March-June) in the spring time, but we've also add Cookout Tours (March-August), Watermelon Tours (July-August), and Pumpkin Patch Tours (October). For more information about our tours read below or call (949) 653-2100 ext.204

This tours is a fun way to learn about the Tanaka Farms family and fresh fruits and vegetables. You will pick your own vegetables for your lunch.

Christmas Tree (not a tour, Open Nov. 25 - Dec. 18, 2011)

We hope you enjoy the touring seasons, but now we turn to the winter holidays. We purchase our trees from smaller farms. Many times our trees are cut the same day that they are loaded for shipment. Our trees are delivered via refrigerated truck as opposed to open-air stake beds. Tanaka Farms has a satisfaction guarantee. We are not in this community just one month out of the year. We are here all year long and we want you to be happy. Even after all the freshest tree possible, sometimes you may come up with a dry tree before Christmas. Please come back and let us know so that somehow we can make it up to you. We definitely do not want to lose you as one of our valued customers.
