The price for…read moreadmission is not bad considering it includes everything they've got to offer aside from food; with no limits. Hotdog is a hotdog. I ordered a pumpkin cappuccino and felt they could've done a better job of topping off the drink. The same issue with my nacho cheese ordered for the pretzel; also the cheese was liquidier than I'm used to. I wouldn't recommend their pretzel or cheese. Activities they had for kids were fun, even for adults like gourd sling shot and rubber duck racing. Corn maze was a good time, kids are given an activity sheet to complete for a prize after completing the maze. 4 1/2 stars overall

$15/person for admission. Food offerings very limit. Donuts $2 each. Plenty of parking.read more

Group # - 12 Purpose…read more- Family Tradition Pros - Gene's is a place you can spend quality time with the family for about 15-20 minutes. Not a lot has changed since we started to go over 12 years ago. Cons - It's becoming an outdated Farm, as weird as it is to say that. The upkeep has been on the decline - this place could be a gold mine for the fall season if done right and with a little bit of marketing; but, I don't see that turning around anytime soon. If it wasn't a family tradition we wouldn't probably give it a go anymore. Likelihood to return (1-10) - 3 Reason - Pumpkin cost is up there. Nothing is ever new or exciting to see. Back in the day you could pet the animals that came ip to the fence - those are even going away.

We stumbled on this spot via TripAdvisor and thought it would be worth a stop from some of the…read morepictures we saw. I gotta say that while there are few people you will meet in this lifetime that you encounter briefly and leave a lasting impression on you, we had the opportunity to meet Gene the pumpkin man himself. Let me say that Gene is one of those guys you'll meet and never forget. A very charismatic fella, 80 years young, rocking an orange shirt and orange cowboy hat to go along with his orange themed farm, and he's been slangin' pumpkins since 1957. Eager to talk and get to know you a bit and even shares many stories from his lifetime. It's easy to see why he's a local favorite. Plenty of pumpkins to choose from and in all shapes and sizes. Everything is marked pretty clearly on price as well. I even noticed a small booth where they sell fresh honey! Cool! Note that they only take cash or checks (no credit cards) but Gene also seems to use the honor system as well where you can pay later on if you like. While we appreciated the gesture, we ended up purchasing two mini pumpkins with the little cash we did have. Gene finding out we had drove to see his farm from Chicago ended up picking out a bag full of assorted squash for us to take home and enjoy. And of course, some verbal instruction on how to prepare each one. After spending some time talking with him, he even gave us some local spots worth checking out nearby. What a guy! Nothing but good things to say about Gene and his pumpkin patch. Definitely worth a stop to see Gene and his orange themed farm if you find yourself in Kalamazoo! 'Til next time, cheers! 251/365

If you've never visited Gull Meadow Farms, what are you waiting for? ;-)…read more This beautiful farm is clean, spacious, and packed with all sorts of activities suitable for kids of all ages and adults alike! I visited last year as well as this year and the experience, while a bit different due to Covid restrictions, was just as satisfying and I know my family will return again. (Side note: I personally believe Gull Meadows is doing a fantastic job adhering to Covid safety guidelines while not sacrificing a joyful guest experience) Make sure to check out the farm store while on site - there are diverse offerings to shop including a bakery, locally produced food and candles, toys, gifts and decor. The donuts are some of the freshest and softest around without any taste of mass production. The cider was also a family favorite - not overly sweet in comparison to other ciders we've sampled, but oh, so fresh! Likewise, make time to visit with the farm animals - there are many! But also don't miss out on all of the fun activities throughout the farm including a corn maze, jumping pillow, yard games, and so much more! There is also food available for purchase making it easy to spend a whole day exploring and enjoying the farm! I know my family will make Gull Meadow Farm an annual outing for years to come!

Loved this spot! It's a classic Michigan blueberry farm but what sets it above some U-Pick spots to…read moreme is how easy and close everything is. Right when you park, you'll see a large area to buy goodies (pies, cookies, produce), you'll see animals to pet, and then blueberries to pick. We went in late July and the berries were abundant (and delicious). We definitely tried our way through some favorites and then picked entirely too many. We ended up eating most and adding tons to blueberry pancakes over our vacation weekend in South Haven. Can't remember the exact prices but cheaper than I've paid for berries all summer, I know that much. And we ALWAYS have blueberries in the house. Also loved the super sweet blueberry lemon sugar cookie that they had in their shop, and felt welcome by the friendly staff. Lastly, speaking to how close everything is both on the farm and off; this is quite close to downtown South Haven when driving, but still feels way out in the country. It's a perfect combo, IMO, and we'd come back again and again if we lived near here.

When we arrived today we were pretty bummed that bumbleberry changed how they run the farm. We used to be able to give everyone a bucket and then the blueberries would be weighed and we would take them home. Now, be prepared to pay 12 dollars a bucket(you get to keep it). It's not the same experience when you are walking to the fields and the entire family needs to share a single bucket. We also adored the low key barrel ride. I believe it was about 5 dollars a ticket in the past. Now, you must pay 12 dollars per child plus 5 dollars per adult to watch your child play and go on a barrel ride. The petting zoo, bumbleberry chair, tire castle, everything is gated off. We passed and noticed most families did the same. This would have cost our crew 45 dollars for one ride (two toddlers, 4 adults). What was once a quaint family farm now feels off. We will be picking somewhere else next year.
