YMCA Field Trip with 4-6 year olds -- 7/10 County Line…read moreOrchard We went on a field trip with our local YMCA. Process was simple: wristbands, then separate lines for each instructor. You rotate through sections about bees, apples, and how they are processed. For 4-5-6 year olds it was easy to follow and they understood it. Then you load the trams to go pick. That's when they told us on the tram that we would NOT be picking directly off the trees -- we'd be picking out of a large skid box. They said it was due to early/late frost and bees not being able to pollinate, plus a very wet spring/summer. They should have notified us beforehand. The kids were expecting to pick off the tree, and it was disappointing to find out once we were already on the tram. After the tram ride back you can roam as long as you want. We went to the animals first -- you can't feed them and there wasn't anyone there explaining, so it's self-explanatory. We did the little motor trike bike track, which the kids enjoyed. We ate in The Kitchen. Good selection for kids. Prices were a little high but not too bad. You order, get a number, and wait in line -- it gets really packed and could use a better system, but the cooks and cashiers were doing their best. There's a nice table of samples -- chutney, mustard, aiolis and other things they sell. Gift shop area has honey, coffee, canned goods, candles, pumpkins, and a toy area (we tried to keep the kids away from that one!). Prices felt high compared to the other 5-6 orchards/pumpkin farms we've been to around here -- only one further south is more reasonable. Kids had fun. We hadn't been in about 3 years. Would we go back? Maybe -- it's questionable for us because there are cheaper, more hands-on options for little kids nearby.

This place offers apple & pumpkin donuts, various pies, sunflowers & apple picking. I used to love…read morethe donuts here but this time, it was a disappointment, both for the apple & pumpkin. It's the cake variety and all round a let down. Also tried the dutch apple pie & that was better but the quality seems to have really declined over the years. My favorite is the tractor ride that brings you out to the fields. They have a corn maze & sunflowers too. I really enjoyed walking around. Great service & value overall to be outdoors.

I've been to many different u-pick farms throughout the area and Heider's three times now, and this…read moreis by far my favorite farm for strawberry picking specifically. Their strawberries are truly the best I've ever tasted!! Check Facebook for the most recent updates if you plan on coming here! Do not rely on their Google page or their website for hours. Typically strawberry season starts early to mid June but it seemed to be delayed this year. I've been checking their Facebook everyday since early June and eagerly waiting for a day that finally worked out for me to come!! They advertised that strawberries were very limited the day I planned on going, but we filled an entire bucket in about an hour or less and we even got there 2.5 hours after they opened! I was so happy it all worked out. I just love the simpleness of this farm. There's no large attractions, big food court, or commercial feel to it. People pretty much just come here to pick berries then leave, which really keeps the crowds down too. Their farm allows for a peaceful activity to take your mind off of busy life for a bit and spend some quiet time in nature. They do have a small shop with a few souvenirs and other items, plus some small snacks such as chips, but they mostly encourage guests to bring their own food and enjoy a picnic on their picnic tables! I loved petting their little rabbits too. They were so friendly!!! I appreciate that they do not charge you until after you are finished berry picking. I've been wanting to go raspberry picking here as well, so I picked up three baskets. I was getting tired so I decided against it and was able to return the baskets easily. Overall amazing family-owned farm that I hope never changes and I can keep coming back to every year!

I think your experience here will depend largely on what time you visit and what they have to…read moreoffer. To me, it's more fun when there are significantly more people around, and during peak summertime when there are plenty of strawberries, red raspberries, and black raspberries, that is the most fun and, in my opinion, worth the higher price. Off season both strawberries and raspberries are not going to be very sweet. It's rare for me to find black raspberries just in general, so that is a major draw for me returning!! It is so much fun to pick your own berries and such a fun outing for families and kids! They run a tight ship about making sure people stay in certain areas before they open up more, so I can see how that can be an inconvenience for some. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience and I definitely recommend a visit!!!
