We loved this orchard SO much!…read more I couldn't believe the amount of fun, free entertainment packed into this farm. We ended up spending nearly three hours bopping our way between activities and snacking. We enjoyed cider, a variety of donuts (including apple cider and pumpkin with cream cheese icing), a big ole bag of "seconds" apples that were in great condition, paid for the four wheeler/train ride through the peaches and much more. The kids especially loved the goats, slide, tractor ride through the property and corn "Sand box". Bathrooms and snack stands were plentiful and clean throughout the front portion of the farm. The staff was all very engaged and friendly as well. I loved that this spot didn't feel cheesy or over commercialized like some orchards can become. It was truly perfect. Can't recommend it enough.

I've been to Schwallier's a couple times now and have had a lovely experience each time! If you…read moredon't get there right at open (or close to it), parking will be very hectic. While they have someone guiding you most of the time, people visiting are not always the most mindful and don't let you out to give up your spot. There is only one entrance/exit for cars, so I think they need to be a little bit more upfront with the flow of traffic and constantly have someone guiding everyone to ensure that parking isn't backed up. There are pumpkins, tracker rides, a little parade car for kids (and adults can fit too) and a play area for the kids. I think it's the perfect place to grab donuts, cider, pick some apples and grab your pumpkin. Just be warned that some areas may be more hectic than others, but that's what you get with a sunny October weekend!

I especially like that we can buy a half pie. We did just that today. We now go one or two days a week and enjoy our treats at the picnic tables outside. We've also begun buying a few produce items here such as lettuce and tomatoes. Even though Heidi's is a little out of the way, the trip is worth it even with $4.00 gas.

We pulled up at 8 AM to get some donuts. The place was hopping! We could hardly get a parking spot…read more When you go in you are greeted by all kinds of fresh made salsas and jams. There is a whole wall of baked goods like pies and danishes. But the star of the show are the donuts. Homemade and fresh. A dozen of these beauties are less than $14. I'm writing a separate section on the cinnamon rolls. I happen to be a cinnamon roll Connoisseur. They are handmade, stuffed with cinnamon, not too sweet, with just a drizzle of icing on top. Perfection. There was a separate nursery with plants over on the other side of the building. We did not go over there, but it looked very intriguing. When we're in the area will definitely be back.

Ken's Fruit Market is a grocery store that stocks local items and the Plainfield location has a…read morelarge greenhouse/garden center. Nate and I stopped in after breakfast at Real Food Cafe recently and picked up some groceries and a hanging basket for my mom. The layout of the store is kind of strange and crowded, so it was difficult to maneuver the large cart at times. It took me a bit to find some items since this isn't my regular grocery store, but I was able to find 99% of the stuff on my list. I didn't see many employees around to ask for help finding things. The garden center was a similar situation with only one person who looked to be working there. I wasn't sure which hanging baskets were for sun vs. shade, but some were labeled. They had tons of flowers, vegetables, and other plants available for sale. I can't really comment on pricing since I'm not the plant person in my household, but I'd rather support a local business like Ken's over Lowe's or some other big box store.

That kind of customer service is rare these days. He didn't have to do that, but he did -- and that's exactly why I love shopping here.

We have done many farms/orchards and this one was bottom of the list unfortunately. We dropped by the winery and it felt like you were transported to a 2004 club with the tacky lights mixed with a clammy dungeon feel. Although it was $10 for 5 tastings, the ambiance negated the price. (The only decently priced feature.) If you have kids, they will for sure be stimulated and you're good to go. But otherwise for adults that want delicious cider, donuts and a calm u-pick experience, check out Famhaus Farms for a cleaner and more serene experience.
