A great place to stop and smell the sunflower in the early fall / late summer!…read more My partner and I visited on a semi cloudy day which meant that the field was pretty empty but the sun came out which was very nice. They have a free but small parking lot on site so it may be good to go during off time. The entry fee for the sunflower field is $5 a person which I think is a pretty fair price. We considered getting a mason jar to fill for around $10 but decided not to. There are endless turns you can take and several props set up throughout the field for photos. I recommend going in with no destination in mind and just taking it all in because it is amazing! There are also some benches / picnic tables you can use for lunch as well. I can't wait to visit again the next year!

Oxbow does just that with a smile on their face! When we visited they did a wonderful job explaining where we could find the different parts of the farm we were interested in exploring and sharing what else we could look forward to on our next visit. We swung by in autumn and they were in full blown harvest festival. Pumpkins were out, warm drinks were being served, and there were apples to be picked. I very much enjoyed walking around the garden area and seeing the informative signs teaching about the plants and food growing around the farm. Can't wait to return over the following seasons to see and experience all they have to offer. Btw, if you are looking to buy produce, you can! There is a little stall at the entrance of the farm with locally grown produce ready for purchase.

My wife and I were looking for a tree farm, but there were so many to choose from. A lot of farms were either sold out of trees immediately after Thanksgiving or they were really expensive. With our limited options, we chose to support Serres Farm, and I'm very glad we did! I can't praise this farm enough. Though the farm is modest, it has a great selection of various types of trees to pick from. What makes this farm so great is that it's very organized. You walk up to the welcome booth and the staff asks you for the tree size you're interested in. Once you provide the size, you'll then be pointed in the right direction. Each tree comes with a special tag that lets you know the type of tree you're looking at and the tree's cost. Our 6-7 foot tree was $85, but it varies from tree to tree. Go anywhere else and you'll probably pay up to $100 or more and then you'll have to do all the heavy lifting on your own. Speaking of heavy lifting, major props to William and Brady! Those two guys really work hard to provide customers with a wonderful experience. Some of the tree farms I've been to just give you a handsaw and expect you to figure things out on your own. By the end of that experience, you're sweaty, dirty, tired, and probably angry that you didn't come fully prepared. Here, the teams take that burden off of you so that you can enjoy the experience of choosing a tree and the rest of your holiday season. You can either cut down a tree on your own or you can have a staff member do it for you. Once the tree is cut, you then have the option to trim the tree, net the tree, and tie down the tree to your car. Trimming and tying down the tree is of no extra charge, but netting the tree is only $3, so it's totally worth it. All you have to do is show up and the team will take good care of you. Why add extra stress to your holidays by working harder to cut down a tree? Come here and let the team make your life a lot easier. No crazy reservation system, either. As long as this farm is here and continues with its great service and seasonal experience, Serres Farm is the one my wife and I will be supporting each year. Thanks to everyone at Serres Farm! Merry Christmas!

My wife and I were looking and looking all fall for places that might be good for us to hit once tree season came along. We love cutting down our own tree and all the rituals that come with the season. We also love places that are family friendly, peaceful, and simple. With Snow Valley, we found it all. Friendly and accommodating staff, literally thousands of trees to choose from, and not all of the hoopla that some area places have with carnival-like games and rides. They have a small barn space that has pre-made wreaths and garland, a walk up cafe with coffee, cocoa, and donuts, and acres upon acres of trees! Walking through the fields, saw in hand, looking for the perfect tree.....ah, one of the best feelings of the holiday season! Tree was found, coffee and donuts were eaten, a quiet sit was had on a downed tree to take in the environment. It was a perfect afternoon at the perfect place! Thanks Snow Valley!

This rustic farm is open for u-cut Christmas trees after Thanksgiving. Bonus: they have an on-site…read moredrink stand offering a wide variety of hot chocolates and lattes. They also have goats and donkeys for viewing. The prices are pretty steep. We paid $168 for our 7 foot tree. We cut it ourselves and a guy came over pronto to cart it away and bailed it for us. When we got home, I was surprised to find that it had not been shaken (although I had noticed they had a shaker) and there were lots of loose, dead needles, and a patch of mud that was really hard clean off of the lower branches. They also have a gift shop with pre-decorated wreathes and homey Christmas decorations.

Leaving Bellevue it was sunny, but quickly changed to rain, thunder, and lightning. Arrived at the location, signs indicated that they were Open, but a young man greeted us with the news that because of the weather they closed early.

A quick call to the owner resulted in permission to walk out through the gardens, livestock, chickens, and braying burros--at no charge!! Various types of sunflowers available for viewing, but quite a walk out to the currently blooming acreage! Lots of areas still growing for future displays this fall. Lots of photo ops with the setting sun and sunlight playing on area hillsides behind multitudinous Sunflowers! Looks like a fun place, with Shave Ice and Weiner World SuperFantastic Hot Dogs! I'm sure even more fun stuff when the weather cooperates! Thanks to the Lora Lee Family for their kindness! (I'm going to have to come back out for a WW SF Hot Dog!!)
