We went to this grove specifically for the pumpkin festival which had good reviews. The biggest…read moredraw was the activities available for children under 5 and the free admission/$5 parking. Even though it was an hour drive for us it was well worth traveling there. Our grandchildren enjoyed the pony rides which were $6/child, holding a piglet which was $7/child, the hay ride ($2/seated person), the circus entertainment (free), feeding the goats ($1/cup of food) and enjoying a picnic with food for lunch. There was also live music to enjoy. The food we had was smoked turkey legs ($15 and very large... 2 of us shared one), BBQ sandwich with French fries ($12) and delicious freshly made lemonade with strawberries ($7) and some water bottles ($3 each). Other than the water bottles being a bit pricey, the other food was good and reasonably priced for these kinds of events. There was so much more we could have enjoyed but our young ones tired out with the heat of the day. We did not get a chance to see the many small tents full of crafts, the playground, the butterfly area, the train ride (appropriate for very young kids) and probably so much more we did not know about. There was an area for older kids that had activities such as a zipline, climbing wall, inflatable slides and tunnels which were additional costs ranging from $12-$20. $40 for a band that included all of those activities. The pumpkin area at the front was beautifully arranged and there were plenty of pumpkins to choose from. Pie pumpkins were $5 and carvable pumpkins were $0.90/lb. They also had heirloom pumpkins for a bit more/lb. There were so many areas throughout the farm for photo opportunities. It was really well done. All of the people working there were great and parking was very organized. I expect we will return next year. It was a fun outing.

A lot of vendors park on their property and sell their goods. We met a ton of great vendors! It's a big place. They have a butterfly area as well. There are lots of animals including lambs! You can hold them and feed most of the animals. There is a store stocked with local options as well. It was a neat experience for sure! We would go back and I would recommend this as a family outing or field trip:)

I got their Açaí bowl with protein, strawberries, goji berries, kiwi, and honey. I wasn't really impressed. It was pretty tasteless for the amount of stuff I had on it to sweeten it up. Also, it was crazy expensive, not sure because of the area we're in but $20+ for an Açaí bowl was wild. Staff was nice and they prepared it quickly. It's a cute vibe, but just know you'll be dropping money here.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS COMPANY! They are frauds who will just take your money and not send you…read morewhat you order. My mother bought my brother and I each a crate of oranges and grapefruits in December 2012. After not receiving the packages by the end of January, she called them 3 times without ever reaching a person or receiving a return phone call. When she called American Express to dispute the charge, she found out they not only charged her for the two crates, but they submitted another charge of over 400 dollars. American Express is now looking into it. I then submitted a complaint using the "Contact Us" form on the company's website. No one responded. Not only does this company not care about their customers, but they also take advantage of you and overcharge your account. I can't even find them on the Better Business Bureau's website. The people that run this company are crooks. Please do not purchase anything from them. If I could submit ZERO stars, I would.
