Thank you to Ashley and everyone at Simonian Farms for helping to make our 40th high school reunion…read moreevent so successful! Everything from the venue's beautiful grounds, dining/bar setup, options of amenities, its proximity to lodging, and food/catering choices were top-notch and many people who attended were extremely complimentary. So much so, that I am going to include some of the comments from our attendees in this review. Here's what our attendees had to say: "Beautiful yet comfortable casual atmosphere", "Casual yet felt very upscale...wonderful hometown hospitality", "hidden gem", "amazing atmosphere for reunions, family gatherings, and other events", and "perfect venue for our reunion...indoor/outdoor aspect works well...there was more room to accommodate a larger group, if necessary". Ashley was extremely flexible with our plans when changes came up, and she always made sure that we had everything we needed (right down to the last minute patio heaters for the surprise cooler weather!) It goes without saying that we would not hesitate to hold another high school reunion at Simonian Farms in the future! Sanger High Class of 1985 Reunion Committee

We were first greeted by a man and he told us where to park. Super nice and let us know what to expect at our visit. They have lots of chickens! My baby and so many other kids there loved it. We then moved over to check out our four legged friends. There was a cow, 2 donkeys, and many goats! They aren't shy and will come up to the gate and meet you. Super neat for the little ones to see. The third area we checked out is their pumpkin patch. They have beautiful displays of pumpkins of all colors! Lots of decors for you and your family to take some pictures and capturing some beautiful memories. You can walk over to where the pumpkin grows and purchase some if you like. Support local! If you're looking for some freshly cut flowers to take with you home, you can go cut some at the farm. I believe they are $40 for a bucket! Finally, you can check out where they sell goat cheese from the goat milk they get from the farm. At the pumpkin patch you and your family can hitch a hay ride for free. By far my favorite pumpkin patch I've ever been too. When I went there were food trucks which made it convenient for family to grab some bites if they are hungry. Restroom was also open for attendees.

Upon arrival an older gentleman stopped our car and explained to us all they had to offer. My son was extremely excited to find out they had baby goats, chickens and donkeys there. The farm is really big and everything is well spaced out if you're concerned about being around a lot of people. We checked out the animals first. The baby goats were so adorable. Then the chickens were in their own area and it was really cool to see their eggs too. After that we went to the barn area were they had vendors selling home made crafts and desserts. We got some yummy rice crispy treats that were really big for only 3 bucks. Outside of the barn they had little tractors set up for kids and a cute seating area to take your fall pumpkin patch pics. Beyond that area they had picnic tables and tons of other cute spots to take photos. We were informed you could pick a pumpkin from any of the areas they had pumpkins or actually go into the field to pick a pumpkin. I'd suggest wearing a good pair of shoes because it's a huge dirt area. My son went crazy and filled our cart with lots of little pumpkins. They are very reasonable priced too. We paid 22 dollars for 12 little pumpkins. Most places charge per pound but they actually have set prices. After picking pumpkins we went to get lunch from the food truck they had out there. First I had to stop and buy cheese from their farm. I got a Brie and some pomegranate jelly. It was a really great combination. The lady selling the cheese sells charcuterie boxes too. Not anything big but a snack size to have something while relaxing at the farm. We had a very fun filled day and appreciate Yelp for the pass. So if you're in the area definitely check out this farm. Oh yeah they're starting to have dinners there on certain nights too. It's Beautiful farm with lots to do.

There was little to no lavender to be found, and what we did see were actually artificial sprays stuck in the ground!!

There was also some type of dinosaur backdrop set-up for photos. So other than the restrooms, this stop was definitely not worth the pull off the highway. Drive on!

The Big Red Barn has a lot of fresh fruit, baked goods, and other treats to choose from. The real fun is when you pick the fruit yourself though. We got ourselves some sweet blackberries to take home. Out on the farm, we had the best tractor ride and learned some fun facts about fruits, as well as slid on the huge slide and played some outdoor games. While we were here, we ate some oakie pies. My favorite is thanksgiving dinner. It tastes just like November-- Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and gravy. They have other tasty savory pies like the chicken pot pie, blueberry pulled pork, and the breakfast pie. Of course, you could get some sweet ones too! The service is very friendly and the farm truly has fun for everyone! I can't wait to come back for stone fruit season.

If you decided to pick fruit you pay by the pound at the end which is reasonable but the fee per person just to walk around seemed on the high end. They have goats, chickens, peacocks, a variety of birds, chickens and roosters and cool art displays. We saw signs for paintballing and hayrides though I didn't see any wagons operating. The main reason we stopped was to try the Okie Pies. I had never heard of them and I am always looking to try new things. They remind me of a large empanada or handheld meat pie. We tried 3 savory and 1 dessert Okie Pie. They were out of blueberry so we settled for Apple and it was good but super sweet. I love desserts and unless you're a diehard apple pie fan you may find this to be too sweet. Savory flavors were salsa verde, chicken pot pie, and blueberry BBQ pork. The blueberry BBQ sounds odd but it was everyone's favorite. Everyone was very friendly and there was even someone who let the kids pet the goats and roosters. We'll stop on the way back home for more blueberry BBQ Okie Pies.
