When you think of fall in the midwest, this is the kind of place you want to spend a Saturday…read moreafternoon (provided it's actually nice weather and not that fake 88 degree fall weather). 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 absolutely LOVE Green Dirt Farm! It for sure should be on your must visit list when coming to…read moreWeston. It has a very different vibe and menu than the other places in town which is a nice switch up but it is outside of the main area of town a bit (still only like a 3-5 minute drive from downtown so not bad at all). They have amazing sandwichs, soups, and charcuterie boards. Honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. The outdoor seating area is quite vast with plenty of room to spread out and get some fresh air when it's nice out! All the employees were super nice and willing to give honest suggestions on what to get. I would love to do a wine tasting and try other menu items next time I visit! Add this place to your list for your next trip!

Oof. Big changes at GDFC in the last few months. Came in for my normal start of spring trip after…read morejust being here in late fall, and the whole inside is different (less retail, more space) and several new kitchen remodel upgrades. It looks clean but isn't the same home-y spot we all loved. The kicker, though, is they changed the menu boards which now don't tell you what things are and they've like everyone else increased prices of normal items, including items that used to be included. Sandwiches used to come with chips, and now sandwiches are more and the small single size of chips are $4! Apparently they didn't read PepsiCo just missed a billion dollars in sales because they keep raising prices on Doritos. I can see add-ons for high quality products like soup, specialty fries, etc. I also know GDFC has expanded into KC, and I've been and spent healthy money at that luxury spot several times. But c'mon, this is just ludicrous charges at this point. When I realized the chip change, I asked for a refund of those alone, and the new sales terminal system took forever for multiple people to figure out. The manager on duty had to ultimately refund the whole thing, and reorder my entire order, meaning it's now cost all of us money in time. The staff is completely different - there's a chef in the back wearing a white coat like it's fine dining... the rest of the staff is friendly enough, but also not the same level of home we all got used to for many years. My sandwich finally came out, and it looks nothing like what we used to get - the Cuban is on a hoagie style roll. Not even that good anymore. No more winery inside, and limited drink options overall. And no more fresh ice cream, just overpriced "soft serve." I know we're in times that are a'changin... but some of it has gone too far. Hopefully they keep the same level of loyal business I imagine they had before. My loyalty has definitely shifted instantly to once in a while, if that.

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!

STOP STEALING THEIR KITTENS!!! I have been going to this wonderful family's pumpkin patch every…read morefall for YEARS. They are the best one I have ever been to, and my family scouts out pumpkin patches for the good picks like crazy. The BEST. There's no corporate mazes, only the fruits of decades-- GENERATIONS-- of hard work, and the kittens are a part of that! When you sneak one of those little cats away, or MULTIPLE, not only do you harm the business of a magnificent, honest, hard-working family, AS WELL as the businesses they do work with, but you are also hurting their barn cats' cycle. It was so sad this year to see only a few kittens around. And the fact that AT LEAST TWO of them are said to have been stolen since then!?! Shame on you, whoever you are. This family is too good to deserve such ungrateful thievery. I hope this thoughtless injustice is rectified.

For this last visit we brought our own lunch. Goats, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, goats, and sheep to visit. Slide, bounce, run, climb, sink into corn, take a ride out to pick a pumpkin. About a 30 minute ride from downtown KC. We had a good time but it was also stressful. First time going along as a school field trip. All the students, kindergarten ages 5, start in the barn. A nice gal gets up, to lay the ground rules but over all the kids, can't be heard. She has a microphone but it needs work. Tour guides come to take groups around the farm. Most stressful task was trying to keep 100's of 5 years olds in their groups while other visitors run freely playing. This whole day just further cemented for me that teachers should be paid more, ALOT more. One visit a season is a-ok and about all I got in me for this kind of entropy . If possible though I'm gonna try for less trafficked hours.
