Waldoch Farm and Garden Center is a fun place for all ages to explore and see!…read more I went back in mid August and didn't know what to expect as it was my first time there. Parking was free and easy. Once you get to the entrance gate, you'll be greeted by staff to show your admission ticket or buy tickets. It's reasonable priced. I purchased the admission with ride and getting a sunflower option. Service was fast and friendly. There's a station near the front to line up for the hay ride which approximately runs every 15-20 minutes. But my friends and I decided to explore other stations before doing the hay ride. There were mini houses and mini log cabin displays to check out. There was a mini kart race track that adults and kids can actually grab a kart and peddle around the track. That was a fun experience! There's also a okay ground that both kids and adults can play Through the courses.. Once we got through the stations, we headed back to the entrance to wait for the hayride. The hayride would bring us way back into the fields where you can see them growing peppers, sunflowers and pumpkins. We were dropped off into the sunflower fields to browse, take pics and then eventually able to pick a sunflower or flowers form the fields at the end per the packages we laid for. I had to leave early so I was t able to cut one for myself. But would love to come back another time to experience it again haha.

This is a great store, read this in its entirety before you shop here…read more They have the best drink prices for quality products with variety that I have seen at this kind of a store, ever. They have great prices on steaks, brisket, miscut cheese and assorted name brand foods. They even have a produce section. Give them credit they do an amazing job about making sure their products have shelf life, look good, and are of quality. They also have a lot of variety other stores don't, they offer a lot of popular products. Ultimately you need to understand with a store like theirs you are buying products that are overstock. They are nearing an expiration sell date, they're miscut, not in groups of 12 or not boxed correctly. This means you save and you save big here! I discovered this store a couple of months ago and I've returned multiple times for my energy drinks and will continue to do so. This store is amazing!

Saying hello to your customer is of paramount importance, it lets them know their loyalty is important. Over the past 2 to 3 years, a particular older woman working there has waited on me many times. I can honestly say her attitude borders on hostile. Not once have I been greeted when using her lane. Today was no different. No smile, no hello, nothing to suggest I was anything but an inconvenience. Not once has any other employee demonstrated such cold, unwelcoming behavior. My fear is she may be the wife of one of the owners. I enjoy the store for many reasons but the poor customer service demonstrated by this woman, Cashier 0020, is reason enough to cease going. Bruce's management: if she is someone's wife, I feel sorry for you. If not, perhaps it's time to school the older gal in appropriate customer service. The younger generation working there has it down pat. Written 5/7/2025

Strangely enough, there weren't a lot of employees or customers (but i can't complain. all to myself. MUaHAhaha). My favorite spot is where they keep the grapes (watch out for bees! but hey, at least that shows they don't use pesticides). It's right on the lake by this gorgeous willow tree .... dreamy. Not only was the place beautiful, the food was great and looked like the place actually cared about what and how they grew their foods. They even give away free stuff if you've never tried it before. I had a great experience overall and definitely urge you to check it out. p.s. They had horsies!

He even went so far as to give me his wife's and his granddaughter's personal cell phone numbers since his was broken at the time. I will most definitely shop from Natura Farms again because they truly care about their product, their customers and they have such an amazing selection of fruit. We will definitely be making the trek to their farm to see their fields in person. Again, I cannot recommend them more, I've never had a company go to such pains to rectify a situation and to keep a customer happy - 10 gold stars!

My sister and I went to the Scandia Farmers Market on its opening day and had a great time! In the…read morepast, the Farmers Market was held at Gammelgarden Museum (across the street from the Scandia Community Center). However, due to COVID-19, it is now at the Community Center to ensure that there's enough physical distance between vendors and customers. We were welcomed by Gammelgarden Museum's intern who showed us where to wash our hands before entering the market. There were clear in and out directions to ensure an easy flow of customers. Customers and vendors all are required to wear masks, making this a safe and healthy place for people (especially those who have underlying health conditions and/or are seniors) to shop for produce, baked goods, meat, wild rice, plants, and crafts. There were a variety of vendors on Opening Day, and it was so much fun to visit each one and see what was being offered. Despite not having music or entertainment, or food to eat on site (because of the CDC guidelines), it was still a festive and welcoming place to be, and a fun way to see neighbors and friends. We are looking forward to going back to the Farmers Market again next week!

I have gone to the Dead End Hay Ride three times in the past and this year we tried the Pumpkin Trail. Both attractions are absolutely worth the money! We got there as soon as it opened and there were already tons of cars parked. Multiple lines were opened so getting in went relatively quickly. Grabbed some quick snacks at the food trucks before going to see the animals and then the trail. You can get through the trail quickly if you just power walked it, or meander and take your time and take lots of photos. I would absolutely return next year with my toddler for the trail again! Highly recommend.

Day-time operation clearly focuses more on children and being a place that parents can bring their kids to get their wiggles without the parents having to do much. I say this because a number of the attractions were gate-kept by age/weight/height restrictions, so there really wasn't very much for me to do. Although I did enjoy going down the slide numerous times just because I could (which was shockingly free... so many other places make you pay to ride the big slide), and played on the obstacle course a good amount. I would've jumped in the corn pit too, but it was constantly churning with little bodies and I didn't want to cause issues. Like I said, I think they expect the adults to just do day-drinking and vibe. Still, I enjoyed exploring the place and appreciating the fall decor. Took a number of selfies with the photo-ops they had erected here and there. Getting a "lay of the land" during the day was actually sorta helpful for later-- because I stayed for night operation when it becomes Dead End Hayride, so I knew exactly where I was going even though it was dark. It also paid off to be there for day-op because I'd gotten a parking spot in the third row of the lot, whereas people arriving for Dead End had to park waaaaay in the back and walk really far just to get to the entrance. Meanwhile all I had to do was exit, walk around to the queue, and re-enter-- easy-peasy! Took the tractor ride out to the pumpkin patch and wandered, snapping photos. I wasn't there to buy gourds myself, but they certainly had a fun arrangement of different ones you could get, and they facilitated the purchase of them by offering orange wheelbarrows (like a shopping cart for farms, lol). All the employees I ended up interacting with were friendly and helpful though, and that was nice. For example, I'd brought my Hydroflask with me and quickly discovered there weren't any water fountains on premise... but I asked the lady at the donut shop and she refilled it for me from the tap they had in the back! Hooray! No dehydration for me! The gift shop is a little sparse. Again, mostly geared for children, with a lot of candy, toys, plush, etc. But they also sell apparel and foodstuffs in a small assortment. I'd been expecting a lot more, like a farmer's market, but no such luck. I'd been hoping for a bit more of a "shopping experience" and come home with some fun new yummy things to try, and that didn't happen. The food court features a lot of the typical county fair style food. The majority of them were closed on the day I was there, because I wasn't there on the weekend. (However, they did all seem to be open during nighttime.) This really wasn't any big deal to me personally because I'm usually too cheap to eat when I go to a place like this. Although I did eventually cave to the temptation to get three donuts for $6 (got an assortment of flavors: blueberry, apple cider, and chocolate!). It's too bad the road leading up to this place isn't paved? It's a dirt road for nearly TWO MILES. I took it slow and easy at 20mph, which irritated everyone else who blasted around me and threw up dust everywhere. One BIG negative that I have to mention is about the Apple Blasters. They looked fun, don't get me wrong, the the price tag was definitely too steep for me to decide to partake, but the issue was with the billboard advertising the prices. It was AI-generated. YUCK! It made zero sense to me considering that throughout the rest of the farm were human-made art pieces that looked really cool! Including all the fun different painted dinosaurs you could seek out. So why suddenly not get an artist to make your sign for apple blaster pricing??
