24-Hour Guide to Dining in Monterey and Carmel With Kids - Eater SF
"Located on the historic Wolter Property. From the 1940s to the 1970s this was the location of Wolter’s Market. It became more than an agricultural supply store. It was a community gathering spot, that provided generations with memories of holiday festivals and fun events. Since the 1970s, Hacienda has been home to many iterations of what it is today. As the attraction explains on its website, “the one constant is the importance of community and caring for others.” So, whether you’re looking to get muddy with some clay and a kiln or want to kick up some dust with a line-dancing class, Hacienda has it all. Kids can enjoy a petting zoo of goats, rabbits, and chickens. The property also has a U-pick farm where an abundance of seasonal produce (everything from pumpkins to tomatoes), as well as flowers, are grown and harvested. For those looking to really dive into the fire, the Hacienda offers blacksmith and foraging workshops." - Marisa Churchill
