I think they are open from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. The farm is fully self serve. They provide buckets and clippers but I brought my own. It is cash, check, and venmo only. The flowers are $8 a pound. There is a farm stand with a couple of veggies and a scale. Once you weigh your flowers, you can put your payment in the lock box. The property is gorgeous and so many flowers to choose from. The colors were vibrant and the flowers were healthy. My boys and I enjoyed this activity and highly recommend.

I went to try and drop off pumpkins. My web search had told me it was okay. The woman working at…read morethe barn told me that it was okay. And then another woman came roaring down the driveway yelling at me about pumpkins. She said I should have called. I said no problem I'll take the pumpkin back. She continued to argue with me about the fact that I should have called when I was very calm telling her I'll take the pumpkin it doesn't matter. I was just telling her why i thought Pumpkins were wanted. ​ she ranted at me that I should have called first even though I had already told her multiple times I would take the pumpkin back and I wasn't trying to argue. Finally she yelled at me "get off my property!" Totally bizarre. Anyways don't try and give them pumpkins.

There is a cute little stand and they give you a cup or bucket and shears. I opted for the smaller cup for $25. The farm had a wide variety of flowers to pick from. Parking was easy to find next to the stand. The house is super historic, 1723! I love the history. I was able to fill my cup with a wide variety of flowers. My favorites were the dahlias! It's a great spot for photo ops too. I highly recommend a visit!

Inside the stand, there is wrapping paper, tape, and stickers. You can pay by cash or venmo. The tulips were beautiful with different colors and varieties.

It's $15 for adults during a weekday for 10 tulips; kids under 5 are free, $5 for kids. Overall, it's a nice tulip farm and love supporting these spots.

I make sure I…read morehave a little extra cash on me when I drive by on my way home so if anything is available I can pick something up. My wife always loves them, and I frequently will pick some up when I am going into the office because who doesn't like pretty flowers? No joke, but the first time I grabbed some was for the day my wife and I tied the knot. We were having a small ceremony with just the paper-signing, and my family grabbed a bouquet for us. I've been going back ever since, and often get a wave from the folks that run it. The next time I have an event that needs flowers, I'll be getting ahold of them first! P.S. I may be crazy, but the flowers seem to last a little longer than the usual store bought ones. Perhaps because you can literally see the garden that they are grown in from the stand!

I was looking for something fun to do, so I picked up a copy of the Bargain Buyer (dated October…read more10th) and began leafing through it, as there are usually ads for fun things to do. My eyes fell on the ad for Cucumber Hill Farm, so I checked out their web site, then got directions. After a scenic half hour drive, we arrived at Cucumber Hill Farm, and we were greeted by the sight of this big red barn. We were told by a very friendly staff member to purchase our tickets for the corn maze there. A ticket for the corn maze also includes a free hay ride, so why not? First was the hay ride, then the corn maze. The size of the corn maze is just right, and the cows mooing in the distance added to the charm. After the corn maze, my nephew played in the kiddie maze, made with bales of hay, and designed for the little ones. Then I checked out the barn, where I found some goat milk soap from Sparrow Soaps. I also bought five colorful gourds for our house, and Mom got some farm fresh jam. I'm gonna cut to the chase and say everything here gets a ten. I saw so many cool pumpkins - round ones, fat ones, bumpy ones, white ones, speckled ones - and gourds, I had a hard time choosing between the gourds, but I eventually settled on five that I liked. October 28th is their last day for the season, so hopefully you'll get to make the trek there. If I don't make it back again this season, I will definitelt be back next year.
