Hacienda

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Every time I come out to do an event as a vendor at Hacienda the staff is consistently great. I see them interact with the vendors and the client, and they are always willing to go above and beyond. If you have an event out at Hacienda, you’ll be pleased at how effortless everything becomes when the staff is just so willing to help.

This is a terrific venue! We needed a place for a family gathering that would be fun and friendly for all our relatives from ages 2 to 92 and Hacienda blew away all our expectations. Everyone loved the games, the kids play area (the dino bones were a big hit), the atmosphere, the music, and they had great beer and wine. it’s a terrific combination of casual meets fun!

Vibe was amazing, so many things to see and do, of course eating and enjoying a few refreshments was at the top of my list. Great place to visit for sure.

This place is so much fun. If you havnt been you are definitely missing out! Have not had this much fun in years. The night was made even better by Cody. He is litterally the best, so nice and made sure everyone had a great time. ♡

This space was part of the community, and when Nile purchased it Hacienda grew new life while preserving what made it special. It’s difficult to make something old feel new but his team has done it. Shoutout to Cody, Paul, Brianna, Nicky T and the boys at Wedos Tacos. The staff understands hospitality and how important eye contact, handshakes and good vibes are to building something special. I never post reviews, but i love this place and would recommend it to anyone who wants to host an event, or hang in the valley without wine tasting.

We buy our animal feeds from them, they have great activities for the kids and the big kids! Love the community they gather...and the whiffle ball field!

$25 for a couple of hours. Security needs to learn to keep folks safe and also treat folks with some respect. Two bathrooms for “over 300 people in attendance”, AKA a huge line. Huge line for a canned beverage. No seltzers left at 7pm. No stomping of boots sounds because of dirt so it takes that classic line dancing component out of it. What a complete letdown, I’d rather go to the place up in tres Pinos even though their line dancing is on a week night honestly

I came here for line dancing & the line dancing was super nice & the venue is cute. If you’re relatively young looking, you should probably bring 3 forms of ID and your past 3 years of pay stubs so you don’t get interrogated like you’re the owners 15 year old daughter about the get grounded LOL. My friend and I (25, 24, traveling from Michigan to work as occupational therapists) with Michigan IDs had our IDs checked at enterance, were questioned there (we get it, all chill all good). Then we get asked to come back up front because the manager wants to confirm our IDs (also fine). The owner on the other hand though, comes in hot with his sassy white man apocolyptic attitude. We give our IDs, they’re looking at it with a flashlight, then asks us a series of questions with HEAVY attitude and accusatory, asking if we have military IDs, asking for a passport, asking why we were in California, told us when we said “we’re working as occupational therapists” that we sounded like we rehearsed that, asking when we graduated high school, I had to show my work contract with my SS number, full name, job title, etc. to get in. My friend and I, were coming to Hacienda with our coworkers, sick way to welcome ur local rehabilitation team. The double checking IDs would’ve been totally fine and chill, I was trying to keep it light the whole time being understanding, meanwhile the Hacienda gestapo did about everything but double check to see if our hymens were still intact. Everyone involved BUT the owner came up and apologized. I wasn’t even going to drink, and didn’t LOL. Totally understand needing to double check, but biiiig damper on the night when this could’ve been a civil reasonable not accusational encounter :)

This place is incredible and SO MUCH more than a feed store. My family and I recently visited and we could have stayed all day! Highlights: - Cute trains for the kids to sit in - Delicious coffee, lattes, and pastries - A very cute store with tempting jewelry, clothes, and so much more - A big kids' play space with small red wagons, giant pop-a-shot, a football throwing game and more - A gigantic sand castle display out front - The cutest rubber ducks for sale that can be used for rubber duck races in the special duck setup - Delicious lunch foods for the whole family including sandwiches, salads, and chips - Chickens, ducks, bunnies, and a giant tortoise to visit - Clean nice bathrooms We can't wait to come back to check out Bingo night, line-dancing night, and other special events! I'm so happy we discovered this spot and only wish we'd discovered it sooner!

We came here for their line dancing and it was intense! OMG, such a cute place overall, so hidden and such a good secret! The animals and the set up outside, the beers at the bar, the band, just everything was soo fun! We danced, laughed and had a great time here!

OK so know up front this crowd that says they don't know how to line dance, know how to line dance. The instructor is awesome but it was too fast for myself and my husband. This seems to be a more advanced group. Great choice of songs, they take all suggestions. Great price for the event = $20/each, a vendor here making great tacos. Beer and wine. Such a beautiful area. Every Saturday in July. So fun.

What the heck happened to this place!! Is this a feed store or a carnival? Like they have train rides, carnival games, and then some. I guess if you are coming here with kids it would entertain them but in my opinion, I miss the good ol days when they just had animal feed and animals roaming around. Now it's that and one huge party place. Had to drive way in the back to get chicken feed and the worker there just ignored us. He was stuffing bags of hay for someone but he could have acknowledged us! Sad to say we will not be returning here.

I like Hacienda Hay and Feed but they really need to replace the woman with long dark hair in the front store. She acts like she's doing you a favor when helping you. She is condescending, and acts like a bratty 15 year old. Takes asking for help to get her off her stool and to stop looking at her laptop. She really projects that she hates her job and thinks she is too good to be there. Frankly I don't think I will be buying anything more from them. It's just not a pleasant experience.

Such a fun spot on the weekend! Live music, beers, food trucks, and a great play area for the kiddos. They even had a very impressive sand castle sculpture. Wonderful addition to the community we love coming here!

This is going to be an awesome place to go for fun. Also your Hay & Feed #Lol if the county would just give them the permits to do what they want to do. The locals will love it. #ComeOnMontereyCounty #GiveThemThePermits

I really want to like this place with how often we pass by here to go to Garland. Came in for locally sourced meats which they had and beers which I didn't get a chance to try. We walked through the feed store after the counter woman kindly let us know the grocery was in the back building. The women in the human feed store were nice enough but flies were swarming the pastries in front of them, which they covered with a napkin. She spoke to us the whole time while we picked out what we wanted and when it came time to pay she flipped the screen to me at the tip screen. I felt like she wanted me to tip her on a store purchase, which I did because I can't stand confrontation but I didn't really want to tip in basically what is a grocery store. I asked her about the beer and she said it was around the corner right behind the store. I walk out kinda expecting someone to be there or at least for her to follow us around the corner because that's where we told her we were going. We waited about 10 minutes but since I was already put off for having to tip for groceries, I didn't want to spend more time there and left. The sausages were really good tho.

So glad it's back open!!!! YAAAY! Great spot for feed. Great place to bring your kids

Not only animal food, treats, gear, medical supplies, but expert advise from the nicest people on the planet. Did I mention a collection of animals to look at? Rabbits, chickens, goats, burro, tortoise (huge tortoises), pig, and emu. These are not pets so keep hands and feet away from snouts, beaks, and teeth. We popped in for an emergency medicine for our dog...bam, Chris knew exactly what we needed. Problem solved; vacation saved. We purchased adorable treats for the fur-kids, cute cards to mail home, and went for a photo op with the barnyard residents. A Carmel Valley must do. Do not feed the animals. Do not BE food for the animals. Definitely have fun and buy something.

So glad this place is back in business and under new ownership. Great place for chicken feed, drinks, food, kids play, live music coming soon. Exactly what Carmel Valley needs.

We got a dog tag for our dog here. Very nice owners, a family business. We will be back!

Not your average hay & feed stop! First of all, the experience starts with people feed in the shape of a farmer's market, complete with samples. Inside you'll discover floor to ceiling options from grooming supplies to grain mixes for a variety of animals. There's plenty to distract so be sure to make your way out back because that's where more fun lives--a farm menagerie sure to put a smile on your face.

My family and I decided we were interested in having a coulple of chickens so I went to Hacienda Hay and Feed to check out chickens and to see what I needed to keep them. I stopped by last week and saw hens there were about six weeks old and ready to go outside. I planned on returning to Hacienda Hay and Feed once our coop came in the mail. When I returned a couple of days ago, all the young birds had been sold and we were told chicks would be coming in a few days. Chris, the owner asked how many birds I wanted and I said just two. Chris said he'd sell me two from his own flock that were about 5 months old. I thought this was such a kind gesture, especially since my 7 year old was disappointed when he heard we'd have to wait a few more days to get the hens. Chris and his staff were more than helpful in getting us the two chickens and showing me what I needed for the two hens. He even told me to use shredded newspapers instead of buying bedding for their coop. I initally thought about puchasing all of my chicken goods (feed, grit, oyster shell, etc) online but I believe in supporting the local business man and after seeing how awesome and helpful the staff is at Hacienda Hay and Feed, I will be doing all of my chicken good shopping there. My two young children really enjoyed seeing the other animals that are on the property. Being a "city girl" all of my life, its a treat seeing the goats, pig, and chickens! Thank you for all of your help with our two new girls, Hacienda Hay and Feed!

We don't have enough words to describe how much we L-O-V-E this place. Our two little girls enjoy seeing the animals here. And we love their great collection of vegetables and fruits, all very fresh and all priced very reasonably. The staff here are so nice and friendly. One day, a lady was asking about their pineapples. A staff cut one pineapple and gave a piece to her as a sample. I had a piece too and couldn't resist the temptation to buy a pineapple. Later that afternoon, some guests ate pieces of that and all of them asked where we got such a sweet and favorful pineapple.

This is a great cheap date! Hacienda Hay and Feed has been around forever and is a great go to store for all things livestock. But even if all you own is a pet rock it is still worth the trip. They have their own little petting zoo consisting of an emu (don't pet that) a burro, goat, chickens, tortoises and more. Also, they sell produce, some organic, out front. If you are wondering what to do with little kids, it's a fun destination for no cost, especially at Halloween as they always have a hay bale haunted house and lots of pumpkins to choose from. They are mid-valley in Carmel Valley

Friendly, personable staff that always have the best pet food for our dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. They always provide a fun atmosphere, with live animals (a small petting zoo!) and a hay maze at halloween time complete with great pumpkins and great prices. Go Tom and Chris!

I think the animals in this "petting zoo" look pathetic. Especially the Emu in it's too small cage.. It made me feel sad. I realize they have been there forever. The store and fresh farmer's market food are great. It's just the zoo part that I find depressing.

It's not just a hay & feed store. There are animals around back that kids love to look at. The owners are very nice. Every Halloween they create a spooky cave out of hay bales. Just stop in and buy something. You will not be sorry. Unless you buy a duck. They are terrible pets. Don't get me started on ducks.

The best place to get firewood for camping! If you are headed out for camping at any campsite near Carmel it is worth going a little out of your way to stop here. The prices are so cheap, they are totally friendly and honest and when we went they had three types of wood to choose from. I think we paid $6 for more than two nights worth of wood. They suggested the Eucalyptus for a longer burn and we ended up not even using all we got by the end of the weekend it lasted so long. This is a great place for firewood!

Been going to this place ever since I had my first horse and these people are awesome! They treat me like a good friend - always joking and always, always polite. All of the staff, including the owner Chris, know their products and know the schedules for different deliveries. If their out of something, they know when a delivery might arrive or suggest something else temporarily. Though I usually take my order with me, when it's something large - like rubber mats for SR's paddock, they will deliver and the charge (if any) is certainly reasonable. I really love this place - makes me smile and laugh just to hang out with such great folks and see the menagerie in back.

Nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Prices are competitive with "Big Box" stores,but better quality. They have everything you could possibly need for your animals (livestock to pets, and more things than you could even think of), even a great selection of wild bird food. I love the Zoo! (sorry whomever 'reviewer' you are from far away and ignorant of the love and care those animals get). I sometimes host youths (12-15 year old) from Asian Nations and one of their favorite things while here is Hacienda Hay and Feed, Chris is always so kind to the kids and they are always excited to see and touch live animals (something many of them have never seen or done before). Halloween is a must visit to buy pumpkins. The produce stand sells only top quality (again at very competitive prices). It's just a fun place to shop at.

Great spot in the valley to pick up fruits and veggies. Although it's a bit pricey, it is still better than what you pay at earthbound farms. Be sure to try their salsas! Also, watch out for the roosters roaming around!

Best spot to buy pumpkins in Carmel! Great prices and exposure to farm animals for children! The hay maze is also perfect for kids. Our son got to feed a bottle to a baby cow. Thank you!

Went to Hacienda today for the first time. What a delight. This is what businesses used to be like--before the advent of the chains. Extremely friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and relaxed. We definitely need more businesses like Hacienda. We can't wait to go back to buy more duck food.

I love this place. I plan to get some hens from them soon. Last year, before the raccoons feasted on my birds, I got organic feed from them. The price was right and my special order was always in when I needed it, as well as fresh hay for their nests. It's a fun and friendly place with barnyard animals to enjoy as well.

My little dog had an eye infection for a week. We tried hot compressing, Colloidal Silver drops in her eye but one day she woke up squinting her eye and blinking rapidly. I looked in her eye and it looked like raw meat. I called a new Vet who couldn't see her who suggested an eye specialist who wanted to charge $180 for the visit plus "any tests and meds"! My boyfriend said that there was a medicine for cows and horses with pink eye that you could get at a feed store. I called and spoke to the owner who was very helpful. We purchased NFZ powder and a couple other items and had fun visiting the animals and pet a few of them. The whole experience was wonderful! The owner made my doggie a free doggie tag and she did tricks for them. We felt so well taken care of and left extremely happy. 4 hours after putting the powder in my doggies eye...the swelling and redness went WAY down, and she had her eye completely open and didnt appear to be in pain any longer. It is day two now and her eye is even better. Hacienda Hay and Feed saved me money and trauma from having to take my dog back to a place where she was traumatized recently with a very difficult blood draw on her throat. I did not want to betray her by taking her back to our original vet! Thank you Hacienda Hay & Feed!
