    My bf and I went for a fall experience! The weather was on and off rain but we had the best time in spite of that. We got to visit the flower garden and take home a beautiful flower bouquet. We had some pumpkin and apple cider beer that was really good. I don't really like beer but the apple cider was delicious. We bought some apple cider donuts and apple cider to take home and we were obsessed! Haven't had donuts as good as those! The service was great everyone was so friendly and welcoming!

    Here to see the seasonal stuff! Autumn is here!! It's super busy today. They have a light show they're preparing for this evening. There is also a band here today !! Wow! Of course, I'm very happy to see their freshly made. Ice cream section had pumpkin flavor! They all sorts of premade food, and I was really happy to see the variety of pumpkins they had .

    I came here over the weekend to go to the pumpkin patch and got to experience so much more! For $25 per person, we were able to access the pumpkin patch, corn maze, two haunted/fun houses, live music, and food & drink vendors. The bar area within the farm market serves up local drafts and wines and is a great spot to warm up from being outside. The activities are catered for kids and families, but it was a fun date-night activity too! Although it was a Friday night, we didn't have to wait in many lines and if so, they were short and quick. The staff and local vendors were super friendly. We grabbed snacks like chicken fingers and homemade perogies, but the warm apple cider and apple cider donuts were the highlights of our night! They also have stands that offer the donuts, cider, and other fall treats to bring home too. This was a super fun way to get out of the city and enjoy some fall fun!

    I came here for the drive through holiday light show and it was a lot of fun! Grab some hot chocolate (or bring your own like I did), turn on the Christmas radio station, and enjoy some beautiful light displays from the comfort of your car. It was really cold the night I went so I appreciated the drive-thru experience. Once you're done driving around you can actually park at the market and do some shopping. They had groceries and a lot of local items that you can't really get elsewhere (like jams, sauces, etc.) they also had a little Christmas decor store to walk around as well. There was also a bar next to the grocery shop if you wanted to grab a drink and some food. There were fire pits everywhere and you can make s'mores which I thought was so cute. There's also more light displays that you can walk around and check out, with plenty of opportunities for taking pictures. Overall I think this is a really cute idea for a family, date night, or even just something to do with friends, especially if you don't wanna be out in the cold the whole time!

    Great fun night for the holiday light show. Walk, drive your own car, or enjoy a tractor ride with music. Very well organized. Fire pits, snacks, hot and cold drinks. Fun family destination.

    Shady Brook is by far one of my absolute favorite weekend pastimes. I attended Strawberry Fest for the very first time, 6/4. The event is only two weekends long; which is why I typically miss out. I must say, picking strawberries is quite the task. My back was killing me when I returned home. I took a nap and didn't wake up until the following day. Above all, I had a wonderful time per usual. Initially the berries seemed scarce and I didn't believe I'd be able to fill up my basket purchased at the gate for 8 bucks but once I got to picking; there was plenty. When I tell you the strawberries were out of this world delicious, They were thee absolute sweetest, juiciest berries I've ever tasted in my life. Shady Brook Farm and it's staff always provide excellent customer service and quality produce.

    Ever since I saw a ad on Facebook about Shady Brook Farm, I always wanted to visit. My daughter's school had given their students and families discount tickets to visit SBF. I decided to take the opportunity now than later. Must be our lucky day, because the weather is nice in the 70s. On another note, free parking too, oh yeah! When we arrived around 10, there are already many other schools at the farm. Shady Brook was bustling and extremely busy, every activities had a long line of kids waiting to participate. The Hayride was good, it took us around the farm, into the pumpkin patch. Each and everyone of us were able to pick-our-own pumpkin to take home. My daughter want to try the huge tube slide, which my hubby didn't want to do. Eventually I send both of them to that big slide line haha. She knew daddy is a no so she turn to mommy for the rescue, and yes mommy does not disappoint lol. She didn't have fun until the kids at the other schools left. There she play on the playground. And fed the barn animals.

    I came here last weekend and was so incredibly happy with my experience. To begin the farm is beautiful, I can only imagine it in the summertime but it was completely decked out for christmas and it looked amazing! This place is absolutely perfect for families. there's activities for kids and adult beverages for the parents. I had the spiked hot chocolate and i LOVED it. it had peppermint vodka in it and it was a deliciously perfect combo. The main event is this really cute drive through light show that is 2 miles long. each section had a little theme like sea animals, 7 wonders, 12 days of christmas, etc. They're really awesome displays and you could tune into a radio station to listen to the music as you drive through the lights. if you didn't want to take your car in, there are wagon rides which was what I did and it was such a fun experience. They have walk through lights displays as well like candy cane lane and assorted activities throughout. Including photos with Santa for the kids! They also had a few shops on site as well selling goods like yummy pies and cakes. There were also fire pits that you can reserve to warm up to and make s'mores! There is a barn to rent out which was my case as we were having a holiday party and it's a pretty decent size you could probably fit a bunch of people in there. Everyone who was working was super friendly and made sure we had a great experience. Overall, I had absolutely no complaints. I look forward to going again soon with my nephew I know he'll have a blast!

    We decided to go to the farm last night for their UnWined Friday nights. They sell wine, beer and have live music staring in May through September I believe. You can bring chairs or a blanket to relax on. It's a nice time. You can buy food and drinks there. The weather turned out perfectly last night! It was so hot during the day but it turned into a beautiful night! We enjoyed some chicken fingers, fresh cut fries (incredible!!!) and pierogis! Yum!

    Truth be told, the "festivals" that Shady Brook constantly has are kind of a tourist trap. Still, we have a 3-year-old and live nearby, so we've ended up going a few times a year for the past few years. Until today, the experience has always been "fine." I spent $36 on tickets and $15 on a peach bucket at the "Peach and Sunflower Festival" today. That peach bucket should get you a couple dozen peaches if I had to guess. We went up and down the aisles checking every tree. There were, simply put, no peaches. We left with a total of 2 (see picture). Others on the wagon had no better luck. Everyone picked buckets full of bright green peaches, which will never be edible, or left with empty buckets like us. To add insult to injury, on the way back, the wagon passed by a different, inaccessible field that was visibly (even from a distance) full of peaches. We weren't really there for the sunflowers, which was good, because there were none of those either. The tractor didn't even make a stop for them. I don't know if the crops weren't good this year, or maybe the fields were already picked clean. Frankly, I don't really care which -- you don't get to sell a product that you literally don't have on hand to deliver. And anyway, there were obviously peaches elsewhere, like I said. So I don't know what happened. What I do know is that the $50 I spent today is the last $50 this place will see from me.

    Our toddlers loved the lights!

    Ask the Community - Shady Brook Farm

    Did shady brook really increase the price of the holiday light show from $25 to $40?

    Yuppers, 40 online and 50 at the door

    We are looking for a completely no contact expience. What is the ticket taking process for your drive thru light show?

    You bring the ticket up on your phone, and they scan it. 100% contactless.

    PA now has restrictions on traveling from out of state. We live just over the boarder NJ? Is it true we can not come even to Shady brook farm for a couple of hours visit with out covid testing?

    That is NOT how I understand the mandate. They aren't stopping people at the border, Contagion style. They are asking that if you are coming into the state, that you quarantine for 14 days before doing anything. (Not realistic in most cases.)… Read more

    To go visit the Christmas light show do you have to purchase an ticket or is it free admission?

    Tickets are required for the Holiday Light Show. You can visit our website for more info and to purchase tickets: www.sbfevents.myshopify.com. Thanks!

This orchard was one of the last ones to still have apple picking available in the first week of November which we were super grateful for. Since most of the remaining apples were on the top of the trees they were thoughtful enough to provide ladders across the orchard which was support useful and made our experience fun and enjoyable. The instructions were very simple and were had the best time enjoying ourselves in the orchard. The apples were absolutely delicious and we also bought other stuff in their store. The apple cider was delicious and so were the Donuts. The donuts were not too greasy and fried perfectly unlike a lot of other places which I absolutely loved. I grabbed a bag for my friend who also loved the donuts so much!! One thing I would love to see here is maybe some sort of savory or fresh food options, like a crepe station or panini situation. I would have loved to sit outside in the picnic tables and have a sandwich. After a whole day of apple picking that is probably the only thing that will push this 5 star experience over the top. If you are looking for a fun, family friendly outdoor activity, please come here!!

We went on a Tuesday morning, and from the moment we pulled in, it was a great experience. When you arrive, they ask how many bags you want, give you big plastic bags, and then you're off to pick your own produce. We decided to pick collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, sweet potatoes, and a few peppers. Some items were out of season, so we bought those inside the market instead. Inside, we grabbed garlic, tomatoes, scallions, apples, onions, and a bottle of peach cider which I highly recommend! Everything was fresh and flavorful. The workers were all friendly, helpful, and welcoming. You can drive around the farm, park your car to the side, and pick whatever you need. When you're done, you stop at the booth, unload your items to be weighed, and pay there. They accept both cash and all major credit cards. A few tips: wear old clothes and shoes, and definitely don't get your car washed before going because everything gets dusty! I also saw a few people using scissors or knives to cut their vegetables, which is a smart idea, though we picked ours by hand. After getting home, cleaning everything, and cooking up the greens for dinner, I have to say they were the best greens I've ever had in my life. Farm-to-table food truly hits different. The prices were very fair and much cheaper than the supermarket & the quality was unbeatable. I highly recommend visiting this farm for some fresh, nutritious produce to feed your family.

Rose Bridge is a sanctuary and working farm on land once owned by William Penn. Since 2013, the farm has become a 'forever home' for over 300 animals. Many of the animals are rescues from dairy farms, livestock auctions or other scenarios where they were at risk. They have several different activities, we opted for the Farm Fest, which combined several of the activities. The Farm Fest includes a mini farm animal husbandry tour, baby animal cuddling time, hands on craft activity, a beverage bar and an outdoor fire pit. It lasts about 2 hours. There were many parents there with children, but also adults like us by themselves. There are two times - 4-6 and 6:30-8:30. We went on the 4:00 tour. It was great! It was very interesting hearing how the animals came to the farm - it was so heartwarming to hear the stories of saving so many animals. However, I wasn't expecting the 'cuddling time' to be so much fun. We started with the goats - so friendly! They were nuzzling and 'pawing' us - I sat down and several came to me and wanted to be rubbed or held. I even had an opportunity to feed a baby goat its milk bottle! We interacted with pigs, sheep, a beautiful thoroughbred horse and a donkey! It was a very special experience! Afterwards we all went to a large barn and made crafts - specifically little planters we decorated, added dirt and seeds (large selection of flowers and vegetables seeds) to take home as a little souvenir. We had a dinner reservation so we left before the fire pit activity. Overall, it was a wonderful experience to be with these farm animals and to support such a worthwhile project.
