[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]We headed over to Los Rios Rancho in Oak Glen to pick some end of season strawberries. We’re big fans of the Oak Glen area on a normal year. It’s a great little town with a lot of family-friendly u-pick farms.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]

Covid-19 Precautions?
- Like most places in the area, it gets really busy during the fall season. We always recommend visiting the farm right when they open to avoid crowds. Mask wearing seems to be optional here. Although they have Covid-19 guidelines signs posted, there isn’t anyone going around enforcing them.
- We’ve been to Oak Glen in the morning and in the afternoon. There is definitely a big difference in safety. The morning guests are more cautious and are more likely to wear their mask and social distance compared to the afternoon. It gets too crowded in the afternoon and would be stressful trying social distance with people that aren’t wearing any masks.

Should you go?
Before you make the drive, you must be comfortable with the entire town of Oak Glen being lack on covid-19 guidelines. Oak Glen gets extremely busy, and most visitors aren’t wearing masks. As a result, we recommend getting there at opening and enjoying the farm before it gets busy. If you do that you’ll have a great time, and you won’t be so stressed. Anything past 10:30 am, and you’ll have to have your guard up if you’re trying to follow covid-19 safety guidelines[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
