This farm is so much fun to come and pick berries yourself! I've picked marionberries, strawberries…read moreand raspberries within the last year and had a blast each and every time. The berries are fresh and so beautifully grown. The people are so friendly, and they have two very sweet dogs. I would have reviewed sooner had I known they had a Yelp! This is a great place to bring a date, or to pick with family and friends. What a perfect summer activity :)

This is a small little farm in Monroe. When we went (7/14/18), there were Marion berries and…read moreblueberries available for picking. Everything here is organic which is awesome. Blueberries were $3.50 a pound. There's also a small play structure for kids, free parking, and they also provide baskets and cardboard boxes for blueberry picking. There are a couple downsides. They're actually aren't that many blueberry bushes. There probably are 5 to 6 rows each about 100 yards and length of blueberry bushes and that's it. In the aisles for marionberries (and even blueberries, but to a lesser extent), the ground is overgrown with weeds which makes it hard to walk especially if you have young kids. But I guess that's what happens when the farm is organic. Also we picked 4 1/4 (maybe even 4 1/8) pounds of blueberries and we were charged for 4 1/2 pounds. Not a huge deal given how many blueberries my kids ate while we picked, but would've been nice to be rounded down. The blueberries we picked also were not super sweet, but I think some of the blueberry varieties are a bit sweeter... just call before you go to find out what varietal is available for picking.

Put a deposit for a wedding here before the pandemic. The pandemic came around with stay at home…read moreorders and closures everywhere. Owner would not refund the deposit even with the crazy special circumstances going on, told my wife that some other people were still proceeding with theirs. I had a very elderly grandmother who most definitely would not have been able to attend an event with 150 other people. Although the place looked nice I just cannot recommend them to anyone after my experience, now I'm just out the despot of nearly $2k and still bitter years later. Two thumbs down

The best blueberry picking in Monroe! Spray free and family friendly…read more You'll get assigned a row to pick based on what type of blueberries you want. They provide the buckets for picking: a large bucket + a small gallon bucket that you can tie around your waist for easy picking. They have cardboard flats and baskets to take home your bounty. There is a port-a-potty if you need a restroom. Several parking spots along the road and grassy area. Lori and Kevin are super friendly and helpful, and happy to answer any questions. This is the perfect summer tradition to start! Love supporting this small, family owned business.

Cute little family owned business. We came here around…read more5:30PM on Sunday. We were asked if we wanted blueberries for eating straight up or baking. We said both and were told to pick in a certain area between two marked numbered posts. You get a bucket and some gallon milk jugs and a string so you can tie it around your waist to hold the berries. Easy enough. Current price is $3.25 a lb. There's a port a potty if you need it and I recommend you bring some water and electrolytes because it's hot even when the wind is blowing. Overall enjoyed the experience and I know my wife is happy so double win.

We love love LOVE this little farm! It's family owned and…read moreyou can certainly tell that they love and are proud of what they do! Everytime we visit the farm, we have such a wonderful experience. We are so excited to go back and meet Santa this weekend. They always have so many fun things for kids and adults to do and so many photos opportunities! We recommend this play to everyone!!

We have been getting our pumpkins from craven farms for almost 20 yrs- we've tried a few other…read moreplaces here and there but we always come back to craven! There's NO entry fee to get in, unlike some other farms nearby... always a decent pumpkin and squash selection. The mini animal petting area is always a hit with the kiddos- located in the same building as the gift shop. We always enjoyed the face painting (I'm not sure if they still have that or not though). I believe there is a fee for the corn maze and pumpkin shooter etc. You can also rent a fire pit for the evening with friends or family! Most important, I NEVER leave without a bag of their mini donuts- they're the best I've ever had!!!

Super cute photo ops, the traditional corn maze and hayride and lots of games for little kids, a good selection of food & a taproom for the adults and their themed days are a blast(I'm partial to the Pooch in the patch).

Better late than never, but time now for another shout-out to Klesick's, not only for providing the…read morevery best fresh, organic produce, but their superb customer service, which is OUTSTANDINGLY THE BEST, bar none. A few weeks ago, we had some difficulties placing our orders, thanks largely to (our) old, now defunct email address that we'd somehow forgotten to change. So, we contacted Alaina in C/S and finally got the account updated, but unfortunately it was not in time for our 2nd Box of Goods to be added to our order for delivery on Thursday, our scheduled delivery date. When we we were told we'd have to wait until the following Thursday as the order wasn't updated in time, we were a little disappointed, of course; however, it was really our fault, after all, and besides, Klesick's quality products are definitely worth waiting for. Fast forward a couple days later to Saturday, and as I'm outside sweeping our driveway, a small sedan suddenly pulls up and out pops Alaina with our second Box of Goods, cheerily announcing, "Well, I was going to be in the area today, so we figured we'd get this to you right away". Wow. If extra stars were available, they'd get one right away. Thanks again, Alaina and to the excellent Klesick's team!

Did not get a chance to go into the store. However, I did take note how clean the parking lot…read morelooked! My thinking at the time was, if it is this clean out here in the parking lot, inside the store must be as clean!

Tractor Supply is pretty darn solid! They have a nice big parking lot (can easily bring a trailer…read morewithout being too much of a nuisance when it isn't super busy). I come here regularly to pick up poultry feed and straw bedding, and usually everything's in stock (they had a straw shortage during COVID, but can't really fault them on that). I like that their compressed straw is wrapped in plastic - it's a bit wasteful, but it's cleaner to transport and store at home - it usually takes me a month to go through a whole bale, so it's helpful that it stores dry without me having to build a specific straw shed or something. For heavy/bulky stuff (like straw bales and 50lb bags of feed), they have an open cart, which is nice - so you don't have to load stuff in and out of a normal cart. That's nice. Usually, there are enough cashiers to make things move pretty quickly - usually there are only 1 or 2 people in line ahead of me. I've used their online ordering, and it was... awkward - I had to wait around forever for an associate at the pick up desk... might as well have just shopped normally that time. It did seem like they were short staffed. Overall, Tractor Supply has some specialty items that other stores don't have. However, there are more pleasant places to shop that I tend to prefer to go to (Snohomish & Monroe Co-Op). Outside of commodity stuff (feed, etc), I don't like that they don't sell high quality stuff - it's mostly cheap stuff and maybe some national brands. So, I don't really go here for much - unless they have something I can't find elsewhere.

I love love love fall festivities and Swans Trails Farms ticked off all the boxes! It's a…read morebeautifully large farm with activities for everyone: friends, couples, and families. They have your pumpkin patches and apple orchard for picking. They have your classic corn maze with a hayride to take you to the entrance. They have plenty of animal friends to see and pet. And what kind of fall festivity would it be without foods, such as apple cider, corn, and brisket. The food portions were MASSIVE. I would highly recommend sharing and if you're still hungry, it's an excuse to try more food! The mac n' cheese was our favorite food, and our favorite drink had to be the cider slushy. I love hot apple cider, but their new cider slushy was so refreshing and apple-y. All the prices are reasonable too given how much food you get. For this farm, some activities are completely free if you just want to visit, such as their pumpkin patch, apple orchard, and country store. Otherwise, their weekday price is $15 and $23 on weekends (if you buy online). The caveat is that there are limited activities on weekdays depending on staff availability. I'd recommend going the weekend if you want the full experience, it's totally worth it. Swans Trails Farms is truly the perfect fall activity for everyone, and I haven't even been able to describe everything they have to offer. To find out, you'll just have to experience it yourself! :)

I visited last month during the weekend, and wow this place was packed! I was there for an apple…read morepicking event, although the organizers were a bit late, so when I showed up at the end of the apple trail I didn't see them. I tried asking the workers, but they didn't have any knowledge about it and then sent me to the front ticket booth. Let me tell you, trying to figure what was going on was a Kafkaesque nightmare. I crashed at least three other gatherings as I was being directed from one place to another. Whoops. Anyways, I finally found my group and we picked apples. I like how they had labels on each row of trees to identify the cultivar. It also turns out that they put a few crabapples in each row for pollination purposes, but they're very obviously not to be picked as the fruits are small. Apples were $3.50/lb, but slightly cheaper if you buy them pre-picked. The fresh apples taste much better than the ones in grocery stores, which can be stored for up to a year in warehouses. I was surprised to find the fresh apples were more crisp with thinner skin! I got a cider doughnut before I left, and it was so soft, tender, and pillowy! There was great apple flavor.
