The little couple who own Buffalo Orchard are too sweet. They have a free hayride that takes you to pumpkin patch, rows upon rows of apples and a huge sunflower field.

Another worker later on came up to all of our boys playing and approached them in another rude way telling them to "just chill out". Waited for us to walk away before they came up to the kids to yell at them. Then later on, when we were all leaving the worker said so loudly and abrupt.. "thank god all of those kids are leaving. Finally, see you guys" that man clearly does not have children. So I suggest you go somewhere else if you want to have a drink while your kids be KIDS outside. We will be sure to not return. As we felt very not welcomed back leaving the place. What a shame!

Families were enjoying the farm, kids were playing, and there were several swings overlooking the river that made for a beautiful place to sit and unwind. The farm offers a great variety of fresh produce, and the strawberry picking was a huge hit with our kids. Their favorite part was being able to snack on strawberries while picking them--an experience they won't forget! We also purchased some boiled peanuts, which were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. But the real star of the visit was the ice cream. It was hands-down the best part of our day and so good that we're already planning to stop by again before heading back home. Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, great products, and fun for the whole family. We highly recommend Darnell's Farm to anyone visiting the area. 100% recommended!

It was $20 to purchase a 1 peck bag to fill on our own. I believe you can have up to 5 people per bag but today it was just me and my kids. What stood out about this orchard is that 99% of the apples I picked from the tree were perfect! Very very few apples with blemishes, damages, holes etc. there were also very few apples littering the ground so we didn't have to worry about too many bees or bugs around us like we have had to do at other places. The apples taste fantastic! The playground was a hit with my 2 and 4 year old. Big shout out for having a huge tunnel that the kids can run there instead of crawl! Delicious bites include apple cider donuts, apple cider slushes, and ice cream. All were 10/10. Worth the 2 hour drive for us.
