I've never had fruit in my salad before, she told me it was a must, and she did not disappoint, always smiling.

I topped it all off with some avocado, a little salt and pepper, and it was super fab. Love the folks here @ Mackintosh Fruit Farm This isn't just a farm.

The upstairs featured a variety of antiques. I felt the prices within the market itself were pretty high. But I know people are willing to pay for healthier, unique options!

I have always gone to Hartland Orchard just down the road for apple picking, but thanks to the…read morepandemic, I found myself looking for new outdoor activities and found myself looking for berry picking. Green Truck Farm did not disappoint! We were greeted by rows and rows of black raspberries, which I had never experienced before, but taste like a more flavor-packed version of raspberries. After we had our fill of black raspberries, we walked over to the blueberries and picked our hearts out. Advice: -Black raspberries tend to sell out first so start there if you're planning to pick at both places. -Subscribe to Green Truck Farm on Facebook for the latest updates about ripeness. -Visit their cousins down the road at Hartland Orchard for other fruit (cherries, peaches, apples).

A bit of a late review, but wanted to leave a review about strawberry picking season at Green Truck…read moreFarm! We went the last week of May and there were still hundreds of strawberries to pick from! When you first enter the orchard/farm they give you a box that contains 6 of the strawberry holders. When we went in May 2021, they were around $4.99/lb. You have rows and rows of strawberries to pick from that are spread out nicely enough that it was easy to avoid people who didn't wear masks. The process was easy and the strawberries were delicious! My family and I demolished 6 boxes in less than a week.

The owners couldn't be more knowledgeable, pleasant, and helpful. Their business and products are a gift to the area. Come to the large, covered market to buy fresh fruits, corn & other vegetables, as well as jars of jams, jellies, chutneys, and fresh bakery goodies. Enjoy picking your own apples or choose from several varieties in the store, picked in season as they ripen. Have a picnic while the kids play on the equipment in the play area. Choose your pumpkin. Try the delicious fresh cider and the fresh fruit slushies. It's all good. Their apple cider donuts are legendary. Lots of parking. Not far out of town. I wish my own hometown had a place like this.

The orchards have several apple varieties, are well maintained and easy to navigate. The price is quite reasonable, you pay by choosing between three sizes of bags to pick the apples. They have picnic shelters and several playgrounds for kids that are free. Kids can also participate in a tractor ride in individual cars that are pulled by a riding lawn mower. We didn't see a full size tractor ride however. If you come hungry, try their apple cider donuts, slushies and ice cream. All of it is really good!

We were directed to area 13 which had lots of Fuji, Granny Smith and Yellow Delicious apples among others. We were there on a weekday afternoon around 10:30 am so it wasn't too crowded so we could move around the orchard without fighting the crowds for the perfect apples. They didn't have much in the way of frills set up, just a stand on the way out selling apple butter and jams. I think they might have more amenities on the weekends but I'm not sure. If you want basic non-crowded apple picking, come here on a weekday morning. Check their website for events, etc. if you're planning to come on a weekend and want more activities. Oh, and they're cash only so be sure and bring some cash since I don't think there's an ATM on site.

They also have animals to see : chickens, goats (and a goat walk), donkeys, ducks, pigs, sheep, and alpacas. They also have tractors you can climb all over. Prices were reasonable for the amount of stuff available. They also have classes for children to learn about how pumpkins are grown and a fun story time session. What could be better ? - some of the games need new balls- as some are worn out and old. They also have a pizza barn, beverages (soda,water), and kettle korn.it would have been nice if they had burgers , hot dogs or sandwiches- but some of that was closed on Friday.
