I sent several emails asking them how to purchase tickets, because their website links did not work. But I never received a response, so I wasn't sure this place was real. I couldn't find a phone number for them either. I had to keep checking their instagram for information. If you want to go, you don't need to make a reservation just show up. You pay by the size of the bag you want, and they're a cash only establishment. They also have their own parking that's free. The farm is only open a few weekends per season, so you have to stay on top of it if you want to visit. It's a fun and unique activity for the family, and the kiwis were delicious.

We've now been to Summers for both a pumpkin and flower festival, and both times there have been a…read moregood time. To start, the farm has an absolutely huge property it sits on with lots of different activities - a barn, a jumping pad, etc. We have had a one and a two year old at these events, and I do think this location is better suited for an older child. There is A LOT of walking in between these activities that is hard for a very little one. The terrain is up and down with paths that have large puddles and dents in the mud, so also not suitable for a stroller or wagon. There's a large dead space between parking and the first bit of activities, which I wish they would do something with personally. Next, the value of the ticket. The ticket prices can be steep, but you can shave some money off with discount codes and buying before you go. Again, I think with an older child and buying a discounted ticket, it is worth it. We did not get pumpkins in the fall, but we did get flowers in the summer and they were absolutely gorgeous. We had a great time picking them and the staff is so friendly. Last wish item I have for this place is food! They really only have drinks and popcorn (at least when we have been there).

During strawberry season - still ongoing as of this review - they offer online reservations for u-pick strawberries in their fields (secondary u-pick location at Oatlands) as well as pre-picked buckets of berries for sale. There is a shop at the home farm offering baked goods, preserves and every other item you can make with strawberries. We purchased a pre-picked bucket as well as a fabulous strawberry pie and strawberry syrup. Please note: access to the farm is partially on unpaved roads which are also narrow in places, including a 1 lane bridge.

I DO NOT recommend using South Mountain Creamery as a delivery service for family food needs. This is my second review. I deleted the first after being assured by SMC staff that the problems would be resolved. Well, fool me once... The delivery driver, has developed what feels like, a personal issue with my complaints. Because the food items are now either being overstuffed in the cooler or delivery box. Food is becoming thawed due to the lack of attention to detail by the delivery driver. I'm no longer using this company and I would suggest searching for better service providers.

Although it…read morerained that day, the kids still had so much fun, it made it where we had the whole place to ourselves (which was a perk! Thank you rain! Haha). I found the rental to be affordable for all they provide; a blank room to decorate how ever you please, 15 kid bands for the petting zoo, 2hrs in the barn, tables, chairs, a private show and tell, and access to the whole barnyard. We payed extra for the petting zoo food. The staff is also so great at communicating thought email and phone. They were very patient with me and answered all my questions. I will be coming back here with my son to explore more of the barnyard on a sunny day and will most likely book any future birthday parties here!

A bit of a late review, but wanted to leave a review about strawberry picking season at Green Truck…read moreFarm! We went the last week of May and there were still hundreds of strawberries to pick from! When you first enter the orchard/farm they give you a box that contains 6 of the strawberry holders. When we went in May 2021, they were around $4.99/lb. You have rows and rows of strawberries to pick from that are spread out nicely enough that it was easy to avoid people who didn't wear masks. The process was easy and the strawberries were delicious! My family and I demolished 6 boxes in less than a week.

Green Truck Farm did not disappoint! We were greeted by rows and rows of black raspberries, which I had never experienced before, but taste like a more flavor-packed version of raspberries. After we had our fill of black raspberries, we walked over to the blueberries and picked our hearts out. Advice: -Black raspberries tend to sell out first so start there if you're planning to pick at both places. -Subscribe to Green Truck Farm on Facebook for the latest updates about ripeness. -Visit their cousins down the road at Hartland Orchard for other fruit (cherries, peaches, apples).
