We had been going to another nearby orchard for apple picking, but the shine wore off that and Weston Red Barn Farm is our new pick. It's a great little escape from Kansas City that's under an hour drive from downtown itself. They have: -Tons of pumpkins -A maze -Goats, chickens, horses, pigs, and other animals -Cider slushies, candies, and fall goodies While we most recently visited on a Monday (kids were off school), the weekends are where it's at here. They have more food options, pony rides, and other fun stuff for the kids. It's understandably quieter during the week. Oh and let's not forget the overall setting: bucolic, relaxing, and pretty beautiful for Missouri countryside is I may say so myself. I totally see why people get married here.

I've been coming here for 4 years. The farm is great, they have a great variety of pumpkins, it…read moredoesn't cost anything to get in, and their apple cider slushees are very good! I have to give a lower rating this year because they don't have much on their website as far as Covid guidelines. I reached out to see if they'd allow visitors to walk to the pumpkin patch to avoid the crowded wagon and they said no. I also asked if the wagons would have distance between seats and they said no. I realize outside is a little safer but I don't want to be forced onto a wagon with strangers who may not be wearing masks. This review is more for people who are wondering about their guidelines and if it's safe. They do usually have pre-picked pumpkins for sale that you don't have to ride a wagon to get to which is nice but I think I'll have to find a pumpkin patch that has some actual guidelines for Covid this year.

I honestly had been thinking this was Weston red barn farm, because I had not been in so long, but…read moreI was delightfully surprised otherwise! They had so much to offer for the kids, jump pad, zip lines, carousel (on weekends), goats and even a unique treehouse play area. I had never seen a treehouse set up like that, made me jealous and want to get in with them! We loved the big chair and swing for pictures! We didn't get the opportunity to pick any cherries (they are in season in June) as it was way too hot out, but I would love to come back in the fall and do some pumpkin picking!

This time of year the peaches are ripe and they have tons of tomatoes for sale. I picked up 25 pounds of canning tomatoes for $25, some peaches and amazing freshly made blueberry donuts! They also had frozen pies and cherries and many wines (& tastings), jams, dressings etc. The frozen slushies are great and don't forget to take home a jug of the BEST apple cider! Lots of outdoor activities for kids around and upick items depending on the season. Definitely check this place out! It's worth a trip to Weston for sure, especially in the fall!

The taste was average. I also did not like how one of the waiters came up to us and said something along the lines of "by the way we are closing in 20 minutes." However, it was a fun social thing to do and some of the wines we got were really good.

The cozy, warm ambiance of the place makes it feel like the ideal place to unwind. I started with a wine flight that included a white, Moscato, and a sweet red. While they were a bit on the dry side for my super-sweet wine preferences, they were still enjoyable. The mulled cider, however, was the real star--absolutely delicious! We also ordered some snacks to share: a pepperoni flatbread and a charcuterie board. They arrived fresh and fast, and the server took the time to explain each item on the board, making the experience even more enjoyable. Everything was top-notch and super tasty. What really stood out was the friendly, knowledgeable staff, who made sure we had everything we needed. There's also a big patio that's perfect for summer months, offering a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors with a glass of your favorite drink. Plates and water were readily available for self-service, which was a nice touch. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area--such a great spot with the perfect combination of warmth, good food, and great drinks!

Which I liked since it helped give it a barn chic and it's a bit of a distance from downtown KC. I came for a wedding and I really liked the venue but it wasn't a breathe taking venue since it's beside the main road coming in and out of Weston from the highway. Apparently, it's hard to get a spot to reserve for the venue and I somewhat see why.The parking area to the main venue area is a climb especially if you have heels and/ or older guests with you. Do I recommend it? Yes but I might want to look other places since I don't feel like it's unique.

We had so many of our guests compliment the food, and the staff here was so amazing in putting together such an amazing dinner for all of us. However, I will say the cream cheese ice cream that I wanted to see if they could recreate (Which they DID) was the biggest hit of the night!

I've been here for two weddings, once as a guest the other as a groomsman, and enjoyed it both times. Jay the owner is a great guy and really cares about the bride and groom and all of the guest having an amazing experience. For ceremonies, they have this hollow that does an wonderful job of keeping the wind out and it sounds spectacular if you have a band setup to play music like at my friend's wedding. The barn has a great atmosphere and it's perfect for a country or fall themed wedding. I've been here both in the spring and the fall, and you gotta get married here in the fall, the surrounding country side is stunning that time of year. It's gorgeous in the spring too, I just love the autumn colors more.
