Greg's U-Pick - Bunnies!

We came here for a birthday party and it was so much fun. My son loved the barnyard area so we were…read morethere for most of the time but it had so many things to do! Between the animals in and our of the barn, the giant sandbox, and the tetherball, this was a great little area to hang out in. They also had a fun basketball hoop in a wagon which sent your ball back every time. That was fun! They had wagon rides, plenty of food and drinks available, and for the birthday party we got a couple of their homemade cinnamon donuts which were delicious. We didn't do any blueberry picking but we will be back for that. However they have the store in the barn which had maple syrup, jams, produce, and so many other great items. We grabbed a few more donuts and a jar of homemade jam. This is a great spot for the family or even just a weekend date. We will be coming back for more soon!

Greg's U Pick is an awesome farm with awesome staff. Ry Ry the Berry Guy is a HOOT!! We have so…read moremuch fun at the farm and I see that the families with children do too! It has an amazing variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, beef, pork, eggs and flowers too! All sorts of fun activities that the children can participate in. Its a way to have a great fun-filled day without breaking the bank. I hear the wagon rides are a blast too!! Their CSA/farm share program is second to none. I have been eating healthier thanks to Greg's. I do know that they do not spray the fields with pesticides. With the way the big box grocery stores get their products, who knows what the heck has been done to them. Check out Greg's U-Pick. You will not be disappointed!!

Lovely little family run, small-ish farm stop for your apples, pumpkins, cider, goodies, slushie…read moreand turkey needs! Wanted to bring my 1.5 Year old somewhere a bit more lowkey than the big wigs in town and also wanted to knock out pumpkins and apple picking at the same time- enter Blackman Homestead Farm. It ticked those boxes and also delicious slushies (apple cider and grape) just a missed opportunity for delicious pastries (hmm cinnamon donuts!) We thank goodness read Darlene's review about making a reservation and did that the day of around noon and was able to get in at 330! The reservation is made online and the farm is FREE to enter (amazing) but can't be changed or cancelled, however you only need it per carload, so unless you're bringing another car, you can tack on extra folks. We purchased some apples we picked (it was pretty low in the season to pick off the trees) and some that were all set for you in bins, a pumpkin, some cider, a tiny pumpkin and were surprised by the price. Gently it was not as expensive as I thought. Parking was quick and easy on a later Saturday afternoon, with a quick Hi to the Turkeys, some exploring around the pumpkins and picking some apples we had a good time after about an hour and half. I did noticed that it was well organized and lots of folks did disregard the signs: don't feed the Turkeys (grass) and pick up the apples you drop off the tree. There were alot of half eaten, throw apples on the ground which made me kind of sad. Please respect someone's rules and property, it's so nice to be able to come see the farm for free, I hope that doesn't change.

This family farm is a delightful place to visit if you're looking to pick apples and enjoy the…read morecountry setting. There is a small, outdoor shop for cider and fruit already to take home; and many spots to sit and enjoy the view from this escarpment. The helpers are friendly and the offerings are varied. All things fall - pumpkins on offer, gourds, homemade fall-spiced cookies, signs for great social media pix - and totally family friendly. Parking is abundant. We make this an annual day for picking , always a pleasure.

My now husband and I had the privilege of having our wedding here 9/14/24. It's an absolutely…read morebeautiful and stunning venue. It's the first and last venue we looked at; I knew immediately I wanted to marry the love of my life here. The entire staff is top tier; they pay attention to detail and make sure everything is perfect for your big day. The owners are the sweetest and purest people I've met. Marilyn and her daughter-in-law Mary made the process easy as heck for us. Sarah and Lisa were our day of coordinators and they were beyond amazing all day and night. They're all genuine people who love love, as most people do. If I could get married here every year, I would do it in a heartbeat. We're blessed by God to have met the people of Akron Acres who gave us a pinterest perfect wedding day.

Everything I was looking for in fall activities!!…read more I came across this place on Yelp, through suggestions of friends looking for a place to pick pumpkins straight from the patch. It's one of the activities I enjoy doing most in the fall, and have grown disappointed with other farms as the years went by and their popularity skyrocketed. This place is fairly under the radar - a bit of a drive even past the attractions in Clarence, but I've grown to love Akron lately and so I (of course) didn't mind making the journey. In fact, I loved this place so much that I brought my family back here the very next day. Akron Acres is a part of the Kelkenberg farm family. I haven't been to their namesake farm, but if it's anything like Akron Acres I'm sure I would have an absolutely amazing time. Activities here during their fall season included a hayride out to the pumpkin patch, corn maze, and things like pony rides for the kids. The hayride is $12 and you're allowed to pick any pumpkin you want from the patch (even the biggest one you can't carry) - they also had combo ticket prices if you wanted to participate in some of the other activities here. Sadly we went during a wet and rainy weekend, so I had to miss out on the corn maze BUT the farm animals 10000% made up for my FOMO. Oh yes, there are dozens of farm animals roaming about! Most notably, we saw ponies, a large draft horse (not sure what breed they are? but they are HUGE), pigs, sheep, turkeys, chickens, and of course GOATS. There were also BABY GOATS and they were absolutely ADORABLE, one of them tried to eat my clothes. Made my life complete. You can also buy an assortment of other things while you're here, not just tickets for fun activities! They sell pumpkins and gourds if you don't feel like going out to the patch - they also have Indian corn and corn stalks, hay, among other things. There's a food stand that sells kettle corn, maple cotton candy, and candy apples. You can also shop a super cute country store here, with all sorts of goodies - I ended up buying a delicious smelling candle that they were burning in the store while I was there. Needless to say, there's a ton of really fun things to do while you're here, both for kids and adults. It's a bit less well known than some of the other pumpkin places in WNY, which is why I ended up liking it so much. Both days we went, it was pleasantly busy but not overly crowded. There is also "The Gathering Barn," which is where weddings are hosted - and from the pictures I've seen online, it sounds beautiful! All in all, we had such an amazing experience here that we're going to be back in November for their Christmas trees! Can't wait to return!!

Last weekend we attended the Lewiston Garden Festival. It was there that we met Eastern Monarch…read moreButterfly Farm. They had a booth that was an instant attraction for our kids. Included in their set-up was a screen room full of big, beautiful monarchs, feasting on their fave milkweed. There was also a small net enclosure on their counter with a big, fat colorful caterpillar inside. Caterpillars are the only bug I wish I could snuggle with--this guy was just TOO CHUBBY AND CUTE! But I digress. :-P The booth was manned by Eastern Monarch's staff (maybe the owners?), who could not have been friendlier and more engaging for our kids. They shared with us interesting info about monarchs, their flight path, what they like to eat, and the importance of propagating monarch-attracting indigenous plants in our area. Our son asked what the "brown dots" were in the caterpillar enclosure, and we also learned that caterpillar poop is called frass. So that was a fun fact for our ten-year old son! :-D For sale were mature and healthy milkweeds that were planted in eco-friendly self-composting containers. It was Father's Day, my dad has a nice garden, these butterfly people were way cool, so I purchased one of the plants for my dad's yard. For $20, it was a solid investment and a little bit of support for this lovely eco-forward local business. When we got the plant home, my dad LOVED it, and can't wait to bring more monarchs to Cheektowaga! :-D If you check out Eastern Monarch Farm's website, you will see that they are very involved in the community, and offer a variety of outreach programs for youth and more. If you are looking for an educational program of this nature, and/or you want to purchase butterfly-attracting plants that support our area's local eco-footprint, you absolutely cannot go wrong with supporting this sweet local business.

I've been coming to Coulter Farms since I was a kid when my Grandma, bless her soul would bring me…read moreand my 5 cousins, don't know how she did it, but such sweet memories they are. This summer me and one of my cousins and our husbands came back to relive our memories, and the place was just how I remembered. Very friendly staff and service. There is a phone number on their website to call which gives up to date directions in terms of what is available and when and where which is super convenient. At the farm they have quart and pint containers, bags and trays for you to use as you go out and pick. Their fields are nice and easy to find. The fruit is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The trouble is the timing, anyone who has picked before knows there is a small window. Strawberries usually come near the end of June and then cherries, blueberries and raspberries quickly follow. Blink and you might miss it, as soon as the end of the school year approaches, use the phone number so that you don't! Coulters seems to have fair pricing for their fruit. Berries all are purchased by pint or quart, whereas cherries are purchased by pound. While they are delicious and worth every penny, be aware the cherries will add up quickly, they weigh more than you think! If you're looking for a fun day, rewarding when you bring home the spoils, check out Coulter farms. Remember to catch them at the end of June, and bring some sunscreen and water, it gets hot out there!

The absolute best place to go strawberry picking in June! Family owned local farm. Ample parking…read moreand they take credit card!
