Mike Dittmar was incredibly kind and talked to us about the history of the farm. We found out they have this neat Airbnb on property and can't wait to book next year. One piece of advice- I seriously almost didn't buy the donuts because I'd eaten so many apples while picking and I'm glad I decided to because they are insanely delicious!!

It's a rip-off because they take ur money and send you to get pumpkins that aren't there, and to a small apple area with bad apples. I get dry weather hurt but then Do Not pretend it didn't and take the money! Go elsewhere. Response to owner: Correction - I should hv said no pickable apples... All we wanted to do was PICK apples and pumpkins - lady owner should not hv taken our money if admission was not needed for that. I am 100% correct to report that lady owner sent us to an empty pumpkin patch where there were NO pumpkins to pick. None. I am 100% correct play equipment is in disrepair and worn out. Spin it as you will but overall a disappointing experience - owners can't even agree on what admission covers.

Dollinger Family Farm checked all the boxes, so we gave it a shot. I'm so glad I did because we had a very positive experience. We arrived on a Saturday right when it opened to avoid crowds. There were others there, but distancing was so easy. There were signs everywhere about wearing a mask and there was also a hand-washing station. We noticed a lot of other farms that are an easy drive from like Chicago did not take this pandemic seriously at all, so we loved supporting a farm that did take it seriously. We looked a bit at the animals--so cute!--before heading over to look at the pumpkins (AKA the main event). They had a tractor set up with a bunch of assorted squash for the perfect photo op. Then, pumpkins were sorted into piles based on size with a sign with the price. For example, a pile with $8 pumpkins. I believe the most expensive were $12. We selected two $8 pumpkins that were huge! My only suggestion would be to actually label the pumpkins with prices. The people in front of us in line picked a pumpkin from the $9 pile, but the employee insisted that this was too big of a pumpkin to have come from that pile. She said sometimes customers move the pumpkins around. I don't blame the customers for being a little frustrated because they obviously picked their pumpkin with the price in mind. We were worried this might happen to us, but they did not question when we told them we picked $8 pumpkins. The service was excellent. An employee actually took our pumpkins and we could drive up to pick them up before leaving. It was so helpful not to have to carry these huge pumpkins over to the car ourselves. We will definitely be back next year!

I have been dying to go apple picking for years and relive some childhood memories. Finally, the…read moreday came! This is the only pick-your-own apple orchard within miles of the QC. We expected it to be overcrowded. Not at all! Everything is laid out so nicely. There are 2 sections - the pick-you-own orchard, and the barn/petting zoo. The pick-your-own orchard has a variety of different kinds of apples to pick. It is $1.50/lb, and a minimum of 20 pounds. You can rent a apple picker ($10 deposit), and they also have a tractor ride to the orchards if you want. It is CASH/CHECK ONLY - no credit cards here. They have a sign that is color coded so you know what trees are what variety, and also what rows they are in. The trees also have colored ribbons on them to match the sign. The trees had plenty of apples on them, and you can try them out to see if you like them. The barn is full of pre-picked apples, jams and preserves, apple butter, candies, caramel apples, apple cider, squash, gourds, pumpkins, and more! So many yummy things to choose from! They also have a petting zoo with chickens, goats, donkeys, rams, and an alpaca. You can feed the animals through the fence (they have feed you can purchase in the barn). The animals are friendly and will let you pet them. You can't go in the fence, but that's ok. The staff is really nice - I actually lost my ID while I was there and they found/returned it to me. A great family-run business! I will most definitely be returning!!

I guess they allow businesses to come in and do that often, which I think is really nice. My GPS was a little bit off so I'll be updating that but as soon as you cross the overpass it's the big white house on the left side of the street. I didn't realize that was it because I didn't realize it was a house. I went in December so it was a bit cold but we were specifically going to see the reindeer and I was excited! It was the cutest little place there were Christmas trees everywhere and people were having a great time. This business offers so many wonderful amenities, I was surprised at everything that they had to offer. There was a train for all ages that was safe and secure so nobody could fall out, a smaller garage like building where they were selling crafty items and doing some glitter face painting, a fire pit where you can sit down and warm up, a little trailer where they were selling hot cocoa and donuts, that was the cutest by the way! There was also a Big white Barn where you could go in and look at all the amazingly beautiful crafts, soaps, lotions, and home decor that they had for sale. They weren't even expensive either, you would expect some of those items to be more on the expensive side but they were definitely affordable. I ended up getting a hot cocoa sign and a prairie Moon farm coffee mug. The mug was $8.50. We walked over to the entrance to go into the reindeer encounter. As you go in, there are many photo opportunities, an area where the kids can sit down, warm up and do some coloring! After that we went over to say hi to the alpacas, they look very happy and healthy! A couple turkey's crossed our paths as we walked over to the reindeer enclosure. They were absolutely beautiful and they looked so happy and confortable! There was a girl standing by the reindeer enclosure and she was offering us Willow branches to feed the reindeer for free. She was very knowledgeable about the reindeers and talking to us about their antlers. There was a little girl there and she was really concerned because the reindeers antler was bleeding slightly. She gave us reassurance that even though they looked like that, they did not hurt, it was part of the process for when the reindeers drop their antlers. I appreciated so much that she knew about them and was educating us and the people around us about them! This is such a great place I think that it might be somewhere that I add to my itinerary more often. I hear that they have many seasonal opportunities with lots of fun stuff! They take part in Spoon River drive where they have lots of vendors there selling their items, they have plenty of seasonal activities for children and adults too including a big bubble pool in the summer. In the fall, they have a whole pumpkin patch along with seasonal drinks and foods and in the spring they have a flower market. I'm definitely looking forward to driving out here again next season to see what they have to offer!

I've attended both a wine festival and high school class reunion here and was amazed at how the location can be transformed into an elegant, almost enchanted venue. The owners, Bud and Lisa, are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do - Dixon is lucky to have Distinctive Gardens!
