My boys were very interested in the chickens and goats! I definitely hope to visit Godsell Farm in the future and would highly recommend to anyone else as well!

You park in the lot and walk to the Welcome Center to pay the $5 per person admission, which includes the hayride with hay bales (not lame wooden benches with a few strands of straw on it like most places), haunted maze, bread for feeding the farm animals and touring the grounds. Pumpkins range in price from $3 to $6, and you pick them in patch. Animals include horses, ponies, pigs, a llama, a donkey, a cow, turkeys, goats, chickens, and ducks. The staff is extremely welcoming and friendly! Godsell Farm is my new favorite place for pumpkin picking and affordable Fall family fun! It is a MUST visit! You still have time this year yet!

I've always driven by Apple Holler on the weekends and the parking lot is always packed. I finally…read morewas able to stop by for the first time a few weeks ago and it was a fun time! My friends and I did not opt to pick apples (I believe it is $26 for a bag) and only stopped at the bakery, restaurant, and the store. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the portion size was huge! The sandwich was super delicious and the fries were perfect. They also gave us complimentary corn bread which was fluffy and paired perfectly with the apple butter. I also ordered an apple cider slushie which was refreshing. The bakery had lots of delicious treats and the store had a ton of fun items! I bought a bottle of the pear cider and am excited to try it out! Overall, it was a fun experience and seemed like a great place for families as they also had a petting zoo as well and other fun activities.

Apple picking at Apple Holler has been a seasonal activity for my husband and I, every year since…read more2020. However this year was so incredibly disappointing, that this will be our last year coming here. We go at the same time, every year. This year there was absolutely no apples to pick from the trees! We were out in the orchard for nearly TWO HOURS and I picked maybe two off a tree for the two 1/4 pecks purchased. Instead, they offered pre-picked apples in bins to pick from. I'm sorry?? Like at the grocery store?! Only if we went to the store, it wouldn't have cost us roughly $58 for 6 pounds of apples!! We know the weather has been spotty this year, but that's where Apple Holler should have taken the time to make an announcement about the "slim pickings" (really, no pickings) and encouraged people to come another time or for other services. Also prices keep going up, and much more than simply "keeping up with inflation". If inflation is really the cause, you need to keep the core experience the same. It's been going down each year, but this year was a total fail, bust, lemon; no matter what you call it, it wasn't worth the money. This has been such a tradition for us that it's a little sad to close this chapter, but my husband and I are looking forward to a new location where we feel our experience matches the upfront cost.

Not your ordinary pumpkin farm because this is a REAL WORKING DAIRY FARM! We took the family there…read morefor our annual Fall/Halloween outing. The farm has 80 Swiss dairy cows and you can walk through the barns and pet and feed the cows. There are also several calves that the little ones can pet and feed too. There are plenty of pumpkins to pick from and a play area with a tractor, teeter-totter, wagon and other play things to climb on. The highlight of the trip was a hay ride into the farmers field. The landscape is rolling hills and the view of the crimson, orange and yellow leaves overlooking Waukesha county is just spectacular! In the fields there were a few head of cows grazing. The farmer took the wagon right over to the cows and they followed us as kids held our bunches of hay. It was just adorable! The hay ride lasted about 20 minutes and was by far our favorite event. Cozy nook also has a small store where honey, apples, Indian corn, corn stalks and other items can be purchased. Cozy Nook Farm is not just a fall destination, it is also open for tours during the year. Prices for pumpkins and hay rides are reasonable. Pumpkins are priced by their size and range from $3 to $10 and hayride tickets are $5/ adults and $3 for kids. There is no food or water sold there so bring your own. It would be nice if in the future-Especially for the fall season- if they could offer a limited amount of snacks. Maybe Carmel apples, popcorn, bottled water- something simple like that. Cows are milked at 5:30 pm so it your there at that time it's a bonus! It's a wonderful little Wisconsin Farm and you'll have a wonderful family outing which won't break the bank. I highly recommend Cozy Nook Farm.

CITY SLICKER I have…read moredriven by here many times but i have never stopped. Recently I needed zucchini. We were having company over and I wanted to add grilled zucchini to the menu. When I stopped in I was amazed at the large selection of items they had. They also had a bunch of great looking zucchini. The normal price for them was $1.29 a pound but they were on special for 75 cents a pound. I grabbed 3 nice size ones and the total price was $1.83. Now that was a deal. I should have grabbed more. I was also able to meet the owner Chris. She was very friendly and helpful. She actually stopped in to drop off more zucchini. She was also there to see how the store was doing. We also started talking about cooking food and using fresh veggies. As she was talking to me she was looking through the peppers. She picked up two giant green peppers that were going bad and asked me if I could do something with them. I told her Yeah and she gave them to me. In fact, I took them home and roasted them on the fire pit. I also served them to our guests later that day and they loved them. In fact, the guests used them on there brats. I know roasted peppers are not a traditional topping but I must admit they tasted fantastic on the brats. Thanks Chris for giving me these and adding to our already delicious menu. This store is seasonal. I am not sure when they close down but I'm sure when it starts to get cold. I also learned that Chris is the daughter of the famous Jerry Smith who has the farm North of this location. So all of there fresh seasonal veggies come from there. Jerry Smith's farm has a great pumpkin patch for the kids to visit in October. If you haven't been there then I recommend you load up the Family and make a trip there. They also have a Corn Festival coming up in August too. Those events take place at the Jerry Smith Farm and not here. I also have a Yelp Review posted for that location. Okay back to Green Acres. The selection was huge. They had a variety of potatoes and onions, Roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, regular tomatoes, 4 foot tall Dill, corn, hot peppers, green peppers, pickles, watermelon and zucchini. Everything looked amazing. In addition to the fresh vegetables this location also carried flats of flowers too. I really wanted the palm tree for $330.00 It looks so cool plus I would always feel like I'm on vacation if I owned it. So if you are driving down the road and you see a little shack at the side of the road it's Green Acres. It is the place to be. It's like farm living which is the life for me. Yeah I may get allergic from the smell of hay. I do love the country but I also love my big city too. There are some song lyrics mixed in there above...enjoy!!! See Green Acres makes me want to break out in song. I'm happy that people seem to be getting healthier. Places like this are helping us move in the right direction. We need to learn how to make food again and not out of a box but from scratch. It is not only rewarding to do this but it tastes amazing. So I appreciate Green Acres and I can not wait to stop back.
