We loved the large variety of pumpkins, gourds, and squash. The mazes and spooky attractions were…read morefun too. The shops are nice and have a good variety of items to buy, and they seemed to be of good quality. The pumpkins themselves were expensive and at least one of the mazes costs additional money after the entrance fee, which we thought was a bit much. Most of the things to do there are free, however. Every employee we encountered was kind and knowledgeable.

We came here for the bakery, and unbeknownst to us they also had a pumpkin patch situation going on…read morethat we couldn't say no to. For a small fee, we got to enter the patch that had everything from goats & pigs, to an old schoolhouse, to a corn maze, and so much more. We wandered around for a couple hours enjoying the fall weather - it was wonderful. I'd totally come back here again.

We enjoyed our visit to this farm. Some of the things to do were a little unclear.

They're priced very fairly too. All employees we encountered were polite and welcoming. We loved seeing the animals at the farm and the corn maze was great fun too. We didn't have small children in our party, but the playground they had set up looked like it would be a lot of fun for the littles.

Absolutely amazing fall family fun and even better Christmas Tree Farm featuring real love…read morereindeer. The kids absolutely loved the play area! Highly recommend. Don't go on opening weekend, the reindeer aren't acclimated yet and you can't pet them like you can later in the season.

Absolutely the cutest farm I've ever seen. A group of us went for the goat hike (so unique right?!)…read moreand loved it! Our tour guides were the sweetest people and so knowledgeable about the goats and the farmland. A drink ( alcoholic or nonalcoholic up to $12) is included in the price of the goat hike ticket. They also have a cute gift shop where they're selling goat cheese, goat gelato etc. We didn't try the restaurant this time, but we will be back! I recommend checking this place out if you're in the area even though it's a little out of the way in the countryside!

Thank goodness for word of mouth, or I never would've found this place. It sits in the middle of…read morethe country, and is very easy to miss passing by if you aren't looking for it. I think I've seen 1 billboard in Champaign / Urbana for here.. maybe. But, a coworker of mine suggested I go and thank goodness she did. The food here is so delish. We got the chef tasting and wine pairing. 5 courses + 5 wines. The muscles we were served for the entree were the star of the show; Especially the sauce they were served in - killer. It's not particularly "fancy" inside, given you're on a farm. But, it is cute and clean. Do be weary when ordering because our bill came to just under $300 for 2 with the tasting menu. There are many other cheaper options on the menu and their menu is clearly priced online so there are no blindsides. This is a great place to go for a birthday dinner or celebration. You will enjoy the food (and the goats)

The guy who gave us picking instructions was informative and clear, and the price wasn't bad. I picked about 7 apples and it costed less than $5. They taste delicious too! They also have various pumpkins, gourds, and desserts, among other things. Their apple cider slushies were delicious as well! I recommend this orchard!

This is such a cute local orchard! There are certain apples that can be picked at different times,…read morebut always options of pre picked apples in the shop. We self picked some apples and the prices are great for locally grown. There's also pumpkins available, hot cider while you browse, and many baked goods. The staff was super helpful and friendly too!

We really enjoyed our visit at this reindeer ranch! The gift shop was filled with lots of reindeer…read moreand Christmas products, an old-school furnace in the middle to keep it nice and toasty, an upstairs full of colorful Christmas decor and trinkets. The highlight was the running train in the middle on top floor as you sit and sip on the hot cider while waiting for our reindeer tour at around noon. Luckily at the time we went we were the only once so we basically got a private tour. Who knew reindeers love graham crackers? It had snowed a couple days before so it was so special to see all the reindeer in the snow. The lovely gal answered a lot of our questions about the farm and the reindeer and my 4 yo daughter really loved feeding and patting the friendly and soft reindeers. It looked like they had a fun playground and an onsite cafe (it was closed) and some other amenities around but they were all covered in snow when we went. The only thing is it would have been nice if they plowed their parking lot after the snow for safety. This was in the same town we were visiting family so it was very close. I thought it was worth the price ($12) and I would recommend this for other families to come check out with their little ones and have a unique experience!

Such a cute little place. Did the corn maze with a bunch of friends, was so fun despite the heat…read more The little christmas shop was super cute. I wish they had some proper drinks like cider or something for the hot days but they just had this smashed pumpkin pie with icecream and a donut on top. It was delicious but a whole lot of sweet assortments I guess. Would love to return and do the maze in moonlight, if not for the horror movies I watched

In fact, it had the complete opposite effect on them; from viewing the trees, given an apple growth lesson, learning how apples are pollinated and viewing the bees, learning how the apples are sorted and viewing the large washing/sorter machine and seeing how the apples are stored in the large refrigerator. We enjoyed our lunch while eating apple donuts and drinking apple slushes. We spent time at the playground before departing back to school. The Okaw Valley Orchard staff will tell you exactly what is needed, what to expect during your outing and what you'll need to make the trip an awesome experience for you and your students!

Absolutely love this shop! While roaming around the towns of Arthur and Sullivan, I found this…read moreOrchard on Yelp and had to stop by to check it out. It was so exciting to see homemade jams, freshly picked peaches and cider. I ended up getting the cutest soy eucalyptus candle, a bunch of ciders, a measurement shot glass, kettle popcorn and organic bug repellent. All things I never knew I needed, until now :) I wish this shop was bigger and more expansive but I'd be in trouble because I'd end up buying more than I bargained for. The home made cider was incredible. They made it into a slushee and it was so good, ended up getting two cups full and then two for the road. It was also neat that the cider didn't need to be refrigerated, making it so much easier to transport cross country. The staff here was also super friendly and welcoming which also is an added plus. Highly recommend stopping here if you ever find yourself in Sullivan, Illinois!
