Borchard Farms was established in 1940 in Southern California by our father Edward Borchard, known as Ed Borchard & Sons. The family farming operation at that time included raising cattle, growing walnuts, tomatoes and hay. In 1956 our family farm in Southern California was sold to comedian Bob Hope’s family. The Borchard family then moved to the Salinas Valley and continued farming operations. Every year starting mid-September through October Borchard Farms welcomes thousands of people to our family farm daily. Find a large variety of pumpkins, gourds, and squash while enjoying our 5-acre corn maze, and lots of farm animals.
