When it comes to apple orchards, you can do the "theme park" orchards or the "actual orchard"…read moreorchards. Jonamac is definitely the theme park version. Although you can buy tickets in advance, it doesn't save you time at the orchard. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait in line with all the people buying tickets with cash. You will save a few bucks buying online, however. The wait to get in is disappointing, but understandable. Just budget that into your timeline. When you enter, you'll pass lots of kid-friendly activities. The orchard itself is very small, and the trees are tiny. When we arrived October 7, most of the trees had been pretty well picked over. There were maybe 10 rows of apples available for picking. If you're looking specifically for apples, there are better options, like the nearby Honey Hill Orchard in Waterman. Jonamac does earn decent marks for the children's activities. There's a corn bin where your kids can play and slide. There are a couple of games inside. There's a trough where you can pump water and send rubber ducks down a chute. There's a slide and a petting zoo and one of those jumping pillows. There's a cider house, but we didn't go in because the line was out the door. Food trucks roll in around noon. The crowds really swell around that time. You can also buy pumpkins We got fresh cider and donuts from the bakery shop at the front. If you have small children, Jonamac is pretty good. If you're looking for bushels and bushels of apples, you'll probably want to go somewhere else with a more robust harvest.

Review for the Bakery - Visit on Sunday, 9/21/25…read more I visit the bakery specifically to purchase baked goods. Unfortunately, I've had consistently negative experiences with one of the staff members--an older woman who works in the bakery area. This was not my first encounter with her, and while I initially gave her the benefit of the doubt, her rude and dismissive attitude has remained the same over multiple visits. Most recently, on Sunday, 9/21, her demeanor was once again unfriendly and unwelcoming. In contrast, the younger staff members are always pleasant, attentive, and helpful, which I greatly appreciate. If you're visiting the bakery, I recommend seeking assistance from the younger team members for a better experience.

This is by far my favorite outdoor market all year. We went every time but once this year and cant…read morewait to come back. It is well organized, super cute and the prices are always fair. The market is always on, even with rain and a cant miss. We buy the best eggs, produce, bath bombs and bread. Make sure you try the best egg rolls around. We make the drive of over 30 minutes to get to the market, its that good! Bring lots of cash, small bills and you will be sure to find something you need

Some of the nicest and most accommodating people I have ever met. We use them as a layover at least…read moreonce per year, twice this year, and it is always great. Clean barn, large clean stalls, ceiling fans, auto waters in the stalls with counters, hay racks and feeders in the stalls, a place to park your trailer overnight, restroom, hot water available and the muck pile to clean out your trailer is right where you park. Super convenient and right off of the highway. They will do your nightcheck and keep you up to date. They have the most friendly Clydesdales that love to say hello. Great, safe setting for an overnight stay with your horses.

It was busy; Black Friday and my car was towed there over the day before; "that's how I spent my Thanks Giving". I was freaking out thinking I'd have to pay a lot of money for some other repair when all alone it was the battery. I needed tiers and that was a plus was it is the best time to purchase tiers. I got my dad to get work done as well just and oil change and a fuel injector cleaner job but he said he felt a difference right away. Matt the automotive manager came out personally as he was training someone on all kinds of procedures, did a battery acid leak test, and it showed up that it was leaking battery acid. He sprayed it on and it worked. We changed the battery and I'm good for now. That saved me a second tow $$$ time and not knowing what to do so thank you.

Thanks to MightyVine (and Dutch agro-tech) and their large glass house just outside Chicago, our…read morerestaurant was able to serve ripe locally grown tomatoes all winter. Chef invited the managers and sous chefs to visit the facility. We took a pre-spring Monday drive deep into the farmlands of Illinois (3 tolls deep, to be specific.) Once arrived at MightyVine, we donned sterile clothing to protect the tomatoes from contaminants. Seeing that the last hat had been taken, I put a booty on my head. Danny, one of the partners, took Chef and I on a tour of the MightyVine facility, a huge glass house filled with the seductive aroma of tomatoes. Each tomato plant is grown from a specific hybridized strain, bred for the perfect attributes. They grow to be 40 feet long, bearing fruit at a regular interval so that the tomatoes can be picked at eye level. Pests are controlled by cultivating beneficial insect populations within the glass house. A computer system controls the system of hydroponic feeding. Bees are released and then contained at rhythm, for the pollination. Danny's college background was actually in mental health: I let him know that having locally grown summer ripe tomatoes available year round has been a huge boost to my happiness!
