When you think of fall in the midwest, this is the kind of place you want to spend a Saturday…read moreafternoon (provided it's actually nice weather and not that fake 88 degree fall weather). We had been going to another nearby orchard for apple picking, but the shine wore off that and Weston Red Barn Farm is our new pick. It's a great little escape from Kansas City that's under an hour drive from downtown itself. They have: -Tons of pumpkins -A maze -Goats, chickens, horses, pigs, and other animals -Cider slushies, candies, and fall goodies While we most recently visited on a Monday (kids were off school), the weekends are where it's at here. They have more food options, pony rides, and other fun stuff for the kids. It's understandably quieter during the week. Oh and let's not forget the overall setting: bucolic, relaxing, and pretty beautiful for Missouri countryside is I may say so myself. I totally see why people get married here.

I've been coming here for 4 years. The farm is great, they have a great variety of pumpkins, it…read moredoesn't cost anything to get in, and their apple cider slushees are very good! I have to give a lower rating this year because they don't have much on their website as far as Covid guidelines. I reached out to see if they'd allow visitors to walk to the pumpkin patch to avoid the crowded wagon and they said no. I also asked if the wagons would have distance between seats and they said no. I realize outside is a little safer but I don't want to be forced onto a wagon with strangers who may not be wearing masks. This review is more for people who are wondering about their guidelines and if it's safe. They do usually have pre-picked pumpkins for sale that you don't have to ride a wagon to get to which is nice but I think I'll have to find a pumpkin patch that has some actual guidelines for Covid this year.

This time of year the peaches are ripe and they have tons of tomatoes for sale. I picked up 25 pounds of canning tomatoes for $25, some peaches and amazing freshly made blueberry donuts! They also had frozen pies and cherries and many wines (& tastings), jams, dressings etc. The frozen slushies are great and don't forget to take home a jug of the BEST apple cider! Lots of outdoor activities for kids around and upick items depending on the season. Definitely check this place out! It's worth a trip to Weston for sure, especially in the fall!

I honestly had been thinking this was Weston red barn farm, because I had not been in so long, but…read moreI was delightfully surprised otherwise! They had so much to offer for the kids, jump pad, zip lines, carousel (on weekends), goats and even a unique treehouse play area. I had never seen a treehouse set up like that, made me jealous and want to get in with them! We loved the big chair and swing for pictures! We didn't get the opportunity to pick any cherries (they are in season in June) as it was way too hot out, but I would love to come back in the fall and do some pumpkin picking!

We drove 30 minutes from KC for this pumpkin patch and we were very excited! This place took us by…read moresurprise on how much they had to offer. Admission was a little pricey but it felt worth it with everything they had. We went on a Saturday morning and it was packed. Our friends had to wait at least 1 hour for their food. They had plenty of photo ops which I took apart of. I will say, it was a group of 21+ so we were veryyyyy underwhelmed with the activities since most of them were kid focused. I did take advantage of the carousel and unashamedly got on there! It was a good time :) The farm was huge and I wished we had some kind of map that was either digital or on hand because a few time we could not find anything and I was SEARCHINGGGGGG for a couple things. Make sure to bring your own snacks, get there early and go before the pumpkins go bad.

There's lots of stuff here for kids (carousel, trampoline blob, playground, petting zoo), and lots of food and drink stands that I unfortunately can't say anything about since we didn't check them out. It was also very muddy, but there's nothing that can be done about that really. Lots of cute spaces for photo ops! The petting zoo was my favorite part honestly.

The family farm offers a different feel for most young couples looking for something stylish in their wedding, and different enough to stand out for couples who want special memories. I've had the pleasure of working with Joe and he's been attentive and really showed how much he cares for the outcome of the events at his location.

Let me start by saying that a venue does not make a wedding. That is the result of hard work and…read moreloving family and the wedding we attended at Lamborn Farm was beautiful because of that. The venue itself has so much potential, but neglect and poor maintenance on the part of the owners/caretakers could have resulted in disaster. Upstairs seating in the barn for dinner was a challenge for anyone with a mobility issue. Light rain had made 2 out of 3 sets of stairs unusable as was determined when a lady slipped on the wet moss covered stairs and fell. The barn itself, while rustic and beautiful, I would be surprised if it could ever pass a fire department inspection. The outdoor area, while fun and appealing with swings and picnic tables, are poorly constructed and destined for collapse. One picnic bench broke under a small elderly guest due to rotting boards. The owner's response? "You broke my bench." There is a "house" offered at extra cost for dressing and a place to stay. The bed was covered with mouse excrement and mice, both dead and live were evident throughout the house. A kitchen area for food preparation was in the same condition and necessitated some last minute changes in plans. Extension cords ran randomly across the property providing a tripping hazzard that caught several guests. As disturbing as this place might be for the local fire department, the health department would be horrified. When the bride and groom visited and chose this venue several months ago, there were well tended flowers all over the property. 1 month before the wedding, the place was completely overgrown with brush and weeds. Mr Joseph's attention was mainly on the young ladies of the wedding party to the point of being uncomfortable. His attention should have been about putting tread on his stairs. If you are looking for a place to have a worry free wedding experience, you might want to keep looking. If you're willing to take a chance, the property is pretty with potential. But it is risky at best and flat out dangerous at worst. 2 stars for potential.

One of the things I like best is that they have lots of pumpkins on the vine for you to go out and pick. There is no door fee there is just a per pound of pumpkin that you get. Best and easiest way to get pumpkins without wading through tons of people that are just there for fall play. The pumpkins are well grown and unique which at the low per lbs rate makes them a great value. Go check this place out! It is a bit of a drive, but the staff is incredibly friendly and gives a down-home feel.

Absolutely worth the drive. I have always loved picking pumpkins, but hate paying an entrance fee…read moreto other patches when I only was interested in picking! This patch has no entrance fee and open fields filled with pumpkins waiting to be picked. Powell's has a large variety of pumpkins too including Cinderella pumpkins, blue pumpkins, dark orange pumpkins, gourds and so so much more. Weight is 55 cents a pound for the more unique pumpkins, which is a pretty good deal. If you're looking for really unique pumpkins or just to have a fun picking experience, I'd hands down say this place! They also offer tractor rides to and from the back of the fields and wheelbarrows which is super nice !

Schaake's covers you for all of the above, just outside of Lawrence. Some other area pumpkin patches and farms offer pumpkin "picking" by simply setting up a ton of pumpkins for you to pick from a pile which is essentially the same as a grocery store. Schaake's is great because you can actually traipse through the fields, step over the vines and pluck your own pumpkins straight from the farm. In non-Covid times, they have a tractor ride to take you out and it'll pick you up so you don't have to haul them back. Covid times, they've added wheelbarrows up front so you can haul them easily. There are other little fun things here like a pumpkin slingshot, a chicken coop, concessions with cider & kettle corn, hay bale maze, cows, and an old school playground area. If you like the peaceful openness of rural Kansas, this farm will certainly deliver on that, even though it's very close to Lawrence. If it's one of those perfect weekends in October, know that it's going to be very busy, but it's always fun no matter how packed it gets. It's worth the trip over from KC as well as we haven't found a better pumpkin patch anywhere around.
