For a reasonable fee, they set up a table along with a tablecloth and centerpiece, and all I had to do was bring the picnic. I was impressed by how easy the process was and how nice it was to just wander the grounds, and I can't wait to return for other events. The farm has a sweet little gift shop where you can get feed for the goats walking around the property, products made with lavender (like cooking supplies or soaps), and - my favorite - a lavender lemonade slushie. This was also a great place for my almost 2 year-old nice to be. The farm is tucked away from the main road so she could walk around, there's a big playground with multiple slides and things to climb on, and, obviously the goats and pig we saw were pretty great! They also have a kids' merry-go-round that you can pay a small fee for them to ride. The employees I interacted with at the farm were so kind. They also did a nice job of letting people experience the farm for themselves and enjoy the beautiful location, and they were prompt in breaking down tables when guests had finished up and left. Because this was such a nice, easy, and fun day, I will be returning whenever I can for other events and special days. This was definitely a special Mother's Day for my family!

Their collection of CBD and hemp products is impressive (see photos for a small example). You won't regret checking out this local farm in any season. Thanks, Blackberry Ridge, for a fun Friday!

The farm is really…read morehard to see from the road but after driving down a quiet path I noticed all the possibilities Blue Ridge farm had. There's lots of land, two protected flower tends and a beautiful room inside, which can host a small intimate but beautiful event. The inside space is clean and well-maintained and even the bathrooms are comfy and cozy. One of the owners Julia accompanied by her assistant Kendell showed me around and told me all about blackberry Ridge Farm. Blackberry Ridge Farm is a CBD and hemp farm where they harvest these herbs to make natural products as well as a cut flower farm. Speaking of cut flowers, while I was there, I saw customers picking up the most beautiful cut flower arrangements. They also have a large selection of dried flowers which we intern used to create beautiful, decorative heart-shaped wreaths. If you are looking for a small, intimate place to host a gathering or a place to do a hands-on, creative event with your friends, family or coworkers give blackberry Ridge Farms a call they've got you covered.

There's also a farm shop and food cart to grab a coffee and some treats! We got a season pass and go about once a week. Such a wonderful place! There is a 3 star review on here from a GROWN man claiming he was harassed by a CHILD. It's disgusting that a father would write such things about a child. I've met said child and he is a very sweet boy that loves his farm and all the kids that come to play. That man should be ashamed of himself.

We visited in September but I recommend coming on a cooler day. They do have shade in most areas but not directly near playground and the little play house had no airflow.

Lots of parking, no lines for food, and plenty of room to roam in the pumpkin patch. We grabbed a wagon and some clippers and found a pumpkin to cut off the vine. There are plenty of pre-cut pumpkins too if you'd rather just pick one that way (and take some cute pics). The wood-fired pizza was SO good and fairly priced. We really enjoyed the salsiccia pie, but all of them sounded delicious. And had to get a half dozen cider donuts for the road, obviously. I'm looking forward to returning when our kids are a bit older to try more of the family-friendly activities!

I absolutely love this set up even more than the last location! There is so much for kids to do here and lots for adults too. We picked our pumpkins for the season and considering the amount of people here, there were still many great looking pumpkins. The lines were too long for the donuts/food so I didn't get to try any but I am hoping to eventually try the cider donut in the future! Definitely bring your friends and family here to check out the Hall Family Farm. Side note- I know the Halls from many years ago and they are a wonderful family!

If I have another chance, I would come back and do the drive again because it's so scenic. However, if you're stuck behind a slow car, it can really make for a frustrating drive.

I even offered to sit in the car the entire time (with the dog) so my 2 daughters could go on the ride through experience. Just so you are aware, here is what the law says... A zoo cannot deny you entry just because you have a service dog. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), zoos are public accommodations and must allow service dogs anywhere the general public is allowed -- with only a few narrow exceptions. --- What the ADA actually says * Zoos must admit service dogs in all public areas. US Service A... * They may only restrict a service dog from specific zones where the dog's presence would disturb or endanger the animals, such as:* Petting zoos * Walk‑through exhibits * Predator/prey enclosures * Back‑of‑house areas These restrictions must be based on real safety concerns, not fear or assumptions. The Seeing Eye * Even when an area is restricted, the zoo must provide an alternate route so you can still enjoy the exhibit. US Service A... * A zoo cannot ban service dogs from the entire facility. US Service A... --- When a zoo can deny access Only two situations allow a zoo to exclude a service dog from a specific area: * The dog is out of control (e.g., barking, lunging, not under handler control). * The dog is not housebroken. These are the only ADA‑approved reasons for exclusion from public areas. tukilost.com --- What staff are allowed to ask Legally, zoo employees may ask only: 1. "Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?" 2. "What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?" They cannot ask for paperwork, certification, or proof. Lazy 5 Ranch is not exempt from ADA service‑animal laws -- but they are allowed to restrict service dogs from certain areas because of the unique nature of their facility. Here's the full breakdown, grounded in ADA rules and how they apply to walk‑through or drive‑through animal parks. --- ADA rules for places like Lazy 5 Ranch Under the ADA, all public accommodations must allow service dogs. Zoos, aquariums, and wildlife parks fall under this category.

They change the theme every year so if you had an aerial view it'd be quite a site to see. They give you a little map with the image. (This year was honoring the farmer) It took us 38 minutes. They have little helpful sheets when you enter that are themed to guide you when you come to a hard right or left turns (bible, panthers, children's,news etc) Along with the corn maze, they have food trucks, fire pits, little baby pigs, a few goats (in their petting zoo) and lots of games and activities for children. They have a little general store that sells pumpkins, jams and classic soda pop in cute glass bottles. They are open til 8 so it's fun to get a group and head out and spend a few hours out in the country. You park in a lot, you are then picked up by hay ride and driven out to the farm. It's really pretty! And extremely reasonable. Great way to spend a fall afternoon or evening. The staff is really sweet! They've been running this for 13 years! Can't believe I just found out about it. Grab the kids or some Friends and go have some fun!
