A Family Tradition That Has Become Nothing More Than a Money Grab…read more We have been going to Grim's Orchard for well over 15 years to pick our own apples. It has been a family tradition that we looked forward to every year. Their prices have always been on the high side, but this year they have gone completely out of control. A 1/4-peck plastic bag is $11.99, and apparently EVERYONE over the age of 3 is required to purchase a bag. I have a family of five, all over the age of 3, which means it would have cost us nearly $60 just to pick apples. And what do you get for that $11.99? A tiny plastic bag that holds roughly 7 apples. At that point, you are paying an absurd amount of money for the privilege of picking a handful of apples. To make matters worse, the customer experience was incredibly disappointing. There was apparently a tractor and trailer ride, but the employee who sold us our tickets never mentioned it. We didn't see it and had no idea where or when it was happening, so we missed it. There wasn't even adequate signage explaining where to go or what was included. The only reason we knew where to go at all was because we've been coming here for so many years and already knew the layout. What used to feel like a fun, family-oriented fall tradition now feels like a calculated money grab. There is a big difference between charging a fair price for an experience and nickel-and-diming families at every opportunity. After more than 15 years of coming to Grim's, it genuinely saddens me to say this, but we will not be coming back. They have taken something that was once a special family tradition and turned it into an overpriced, frustrating experience. Very disappointing. Sad to see what has happened to a place that used to be part of our family tradition.

(This is about visiting during Lehigh County Open Gate Farm Tour Weekend)…read more There are a few farms that set themselves apart from the rest during the Open Gate Farm Tour weekend and Heidel Hollow is at the top of the list. They do all the things which make the concept of an open house work: * Demonstrations of their equipment * A full explanation as to what they grow, how they grow it and where/who they sell to * The ability to buy their products plus a free half dozen eggs just for showing up * Lots of parking * A great staff that goes out their way to help you even when it's crazy busy On the open house weekend Heidel offers the chance to see their computerized hale bale system do its thing, a small hay maze, for a fee you can make your own scarecrow, a decent sized food court & bake sale and a bunch of things for sale including pumpkins-mums-eggs-local honey and a whole lot more. Pricing is excellent. A two and a half dozen egg flat for three bucks and a two pound jar of local honey for ten bucks. You can't beat that. From their website: "The fourth and fifth generations of the Fink family invite you to their farm in Heidelberg Township. Energy to run the farm is from the 200kw solar array. Farm products grown here could end up on your dinner table or be loaded on ocean vessels to feed horses and cows. Computerized big bale hay processing system will be demonstrated; 1,200 pound bales are reprocessed down into 40 or 80 pound bales. Mike Fink grows over 1,000 acres of vegetables-broccoli, sweet corn, tomatoes and pumpkins for local stores. Customers and friends still know our farm store as the "Egg Room." For many years, this is where we did our egg packing from laying hens and where you could come and watch us pack eggs directly from the hen house and also purchase eggs and potatoes. Though the chickens are at another farm, you can still buy eggs as well as a variety of vegetables and fruits grown by son Michael during the summer season. Starting In May, we will have a full selection of Bedding and Vegetable plants, hanging baskets, herbs, and mixed planters for sale at the farm. All plants are grown here in our Greenhouse facilities. Stop in to stock your gardens for the season! In June and July, we start with seasonal produce such as strawberries, Mike Fink's Sweet Corn, tomatoes, peppers, local peaches, watermelon, and much, much more! Keep stopping by all summer for a great variety of fresh, local produce. In the fall, we switch gears to pumpkins grown right here on the farm, mum, Indian corn, and fall decorations, as well as home-grown spaghetti, butternut, and acorn squash. All winter long, we can supply your home with fresh eggs and local potatoes. The "Egg Room Store" is open Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm, and Saturdays from 9am-1pm." It's a bit of a hike for us to be making this a regular stop for produce but we get here every year for the open house and a few times during the rest of the year. The offerings are first rate, the staff is great and the prices are very reasonable. Definitely worth the trip.

Schocharie Ridge Farm is by far the greatest…read more I have been boarding my mare at Schocharie Ridge for a year now. The care is excellent, and cannot be beat! She is always well taken care of. The property is always well maintained, full of friendly and compassionate boarders, and a knowledgeable staff. Schocharie Ridge has riders ranging from novice to advanced, and everything else in between. Schocharie Ridge is equipped with a well lit indoor and outdoor ring, both with excellent footing. The property also contains beautiful trails for the avid trail rider. There is always something fun going on at the barn, from the occasional clinic or picnic. At Schocharie Ridge, you will feel like part of a team. Sandy Kantor is an amazing trainer. Her skills in horsemanship cannot be matched. She truly has a gift with horses and riders. She teaches in a way that everyone can understand, creating a comfortable riding environment for riders. She gives her riders true, honest advice, whenever advice is needed. Sandy has helped me numerous times access issues with my horse. She is truly a gem. As mentioned in a previous review, there usually is a waiting list to get into this barn. It is that good! Well worth the wait :)

I have boarded my horse at Schocharie Ridge for almost two years now and the only regret I have is…read morethat I didn't discover it sooner! Sandy and her staff take excellent care of the horses. The facilities are safe and clean, stalls are airy and matted, turnout is incredible, the rings (both indoor and outdoor) & footing are always in great shape, and there are also trails and jumps! Overall, the property is very well kept and the scenery gorgeous. The people/other boarders are friendly, and while Dressage is a large focus, there are a variety of riding styles/disciplines represented and everyone respects each other. Sandy is extremely knowledgeable and conscientious, and the care and best interests of the horses come first. She is also fair, friendly, and approachable. My horse is very picky about things (and people), but he has never been happier, as am I. Sandy is also an excellent trainer of horses as well as riders, many of which have gone on to do some very notable things in the dressage ring, on the racetrack, jumping disciplines, and just plain pleasure/family horses. Each horse and/or rider gets a strong base and foundation in which to build on, or for those who have a base, to move ahead with. Sandy is one of the most hands on trainers I've ever seen. She tailors things individually to each horse and/or rider, and recognizes that everyone learns at a different pace. She goes above and beyond to make sure lessons are learned and both horse and rider have a clear understanding, and takes care to never scare either at any point. Be aware that (for boarding) there is sometimes a waiting list- yes, it is THAT popular!! People don't leave often, because it's that good!! A beautiful facility, a knowledgeable and caring owner who also happens to be a talented trainer of both horses and riders, nice boarders, and VERY happy horses- Schocharie Ridge has it all!!! You (and your horse) won't be disappointed!!

Willow Haven Farm General Store is truly a treasure. If you're looking for a farm-to-table market…read morein the Breinigsville area, this is a wonderful place to visit. Their farm-to-table approach means you know you're getting healthy, high-quality food grown and raised by the owners themselves. I live nearby and try to stop in regularly for breakfast or lunch and pick up fresh vegetables while I'm there. They also carry many foods that are not highly processed, which gives a whole new meaning to eating healthy. The lunch menu is excellent, and they have great coffee, teas, chia drinks, pastries, and homemade bread. I've also attended several of their classes, including learning how to make sourdough bread and how to eat healthier. The classes are informative and very reasonably priced. I also enjoy buying gifts there because you can always find something unique, thoughtful, and healthy. If you're in the Breinigsville area and enjoy fresh, farm-to-table food, Willow Haven Farm General Store is definitely worth a visit.

Red Earth Farm offers the best CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) that I've ever heard of, let…read morealone experienced. Basically, you sign up and pay in advance, and then every week for 23 weeks beginning in June you get delicious, farm fresh produce and, if you like, eggs, fruit, herbs, yoghurt, and cheese. N & I got a half share and an egg share last summer, and this summer we're adding a fruit share as well. A half share gets you 6 items each week and a dozen eggs every other week. The fruit share will provide a selection of fruits every other week as well. Both quality and convenience make Red Earth Farm special. First of all, most CSAs just give you whatever veggies they want. With Red Earth Farm, you go online each week and choose from the produce they're harvesting that week. Second, the food is all so fresh and delicious you won't believe it. You'll be eating your veggies and asking for more. The stuff is about 24 hours out of the fields when it arrives at your pickup location. And the eggs, which come from free range hens on a nearby farm, have the yellowest yolks and the best flavor ever. I've never tasted eggs like these. Seriously, I never believe I could rave about eggs before these eggs. Sign up now! Or keep an eye peeled around this time next year, because they fill up quick.

The…read moreproduce, fresh and delicious, is grown with no synthetic chemicals and has been harvested a little more than a day before it comes to you. Best of all, you get to choose what you want out of their offerings. The surprise grab-bag of veggies was always what scared me away from CSAs because I have neither the skills nor the energy for improv cooking. But with this CSA, you can pick your produce for your weekly delivery and still plan your meals ahead of time. I have a partial vegetable share that provides a more-than- AMPLE supply for my husband and I each week. Best of all, I no longer spend an arm and a leg on overpriced veggies at Whole Paycheck, a store that I love, but which has produce prices that are flat-out ridiculous. AND I love that I can support a local family farm in a way that's convenient, nutritious and delicious.
