Even if it looks okay when you leave, it will have fur on it the next day. Or if you open it, it will be molded or rotten. When you walk in the door, you immediately smell old fermented moldy produce. If you want to take a chance on getting a parasite, or spend money just to throw away- here's your place! Rotten tomatoes for .69 lb or non rotten ones in the back for $2 lb. The cashier seems to always know which are rotten and which ones you got that don't look okay rotten! If there is no price, they will charge you the highest price they can get away with. I always put the item back. Cash only so there's no evidence of you getting sick. If you use credit you have to pay their up charge. I've witnessed an employee being scolded for talking to a customer who should have maintained being tethered to the back. The sign outside may say Large pumpkins $1.99. When you get inside they are tiny and rotten stems. Not fresh cut. Dried out gords are $2.99 ea. I throw out more food than I find the diamond in the ruff. Sometimes you get lucky - carrots! The best time to come here is before a holiday when they order some fresh produce for a holiday.

Around Halloween, I decided that I wanted to go to a pumpkin patch. I was looking online trying to…read morefind a pumpkin patch in the area and came across Merrillville Farms' facebook page. I called to confirm they were open, typed the address into my phone, and off we went. When we pulled up to the farm we were confused because there were no cars and there were children playing outside of a house. We asked if we had the correct address and one of the owners, Ginger, told us we did and that she would give us a ride on her tractor out to the pumpkin patch. She dropped us in the patch and told us to come back when we had our pumpkins. It was really fun, we had the whole pumpkin patch to ourselves. We came back with one big pumpkin, two medium sized pumpkins, and two small pumpkins. The total was $9. We talked with Ginger for a while and she told us that they have seasonal crops for the picking. They have blueberries, tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables that you can just go and pick during the summer. I definitely will be back to do that. Also, they sell fresh eggs. I can't remember the exact price, but they were super affordable. I am happy that we found this place and am looking forward to picking things in the spring.

5/5 Awesome experience! Ginger (owner) was super friendly, talkative, and kind! Got taken on a…read moresurprise date here by my gf and had a great time! We came at 4 pm on a Tuesday - literally nobody else on the farm, had it completely to ourselves! We got our buckets from her and got sent off to pick blueberries! Lots of bushes, beautiful farm, cool chickens (a lot of them, off to the side of the field), cute cat, bee hives off to the side, old machinery - honestly just a gorgeous setting. Highly recommend as a date idea, or just to go for fun! Affordable, and very tasty blueberries (and shamrocks )

We recently hired this company for a school field trip and were extremely disappointed. During our…read moreevent, staff members was unprofessional and disrespectful, even yelling at our students. This behavior was completely unacceptable, especially in an environment meant for children. They also claimed to have run out of funnel cakes and closed it down way before time. If they couldn't handle the pressure it was no need to take it out on other people !! We expected a welcoming and positive experience, but instead we were met with rudeness and a lack of basic courtesy. We will not be hiring this company again and do not recommend them for school events.

YMCA Field Trip with 4-6 year olds -- 7/10 County Line…read moreOrchard We went on a field trip with our local YMCA. Process was simple: wristbands, then separate lines for each instructor. You rotate through sections about bees, apples, and how they are processed. For 4-5-6 year olds it was easy to follow and they understood it. Then you load the trams to go pick. That's when they told us on the tram that we would NOT be picking directly off the trees -- we'd be picking out of a large skid box. They said it was due to early/late frost and bees not being able to pollinate, plus a very wet spring/summer. They should have notified us beforehand. The kids were expecting to pick off the tree, and it was disappointing to find out once we were already on the tram. After the tram ride back you can roam as long as you want. We went to the animals first -- you can't feed them and there wasn't anyone there explaining, so it's self-explanatory. We did the little motor trike bike track, which the kids enjoyed. We ate in The Kitchen. Good selection for kids. Prices were a little high but not too bad. You order, get a number, and wait in line -- it gets really packed and could use a better system, but the cooks and cashiers were doing their best. There's a nice table of samples -- chutney, mustard, aiolis and other things they sell. Gift shop area has honey, coffee, canned goods, candles, pumpkins, and a toy area (we tried to keep the kids away from that one!). Prices felt high compared to the other 5-6 orchards/pumpkin farms we've been to around here -- only one further south is more reasonable. Kids had fun. We hadn't been in about 3 years. Would we go back? Maybe -- it's questionable for us because there are cheaper, more hands-on options for little kids nearby.

Fries was refried please never do that again, just disappointed and a waste of my money all four of our fries was awful. We all order the chicken nuggets...was way over cooked, dry and taste like box nuggets. The baked apples was the best of my meal! The jams, toppings, donuts, popcorn etc., were the best!!!
