I can't say enough great things about this farm and the wonderful people who run it! We had a great…read moretime going through the corn maze, picking apples (I ate so many I barely had room for the donuts ), petting cute animals and taking a hayride through the farmland. 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.

The first time I got the hot fried chicken sandwich with a side salad. The sandwich was crispy and delicious. I got the cider flight, and the server suggested ciders based on my preference of dryer and not overly sweet ciders. The second time I got the single smash burger with a side of fries. The burger was amazing, a little greasy but overall yum! The friends were perfectly crispy. I got the cider flight again, and tried some different ciders I hadn't before. The restaurant is a bit echoey which does challenge conversation, but overall the ambiance was great.

If you've gotten this far reading reviews, stop and book your stay--you won't regret it…read more If you're still saying "maybe," just do it. We stayed in the Station House, a beautifully decorated, private, and peaceful cottage with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The food was exceptional from start to finish. Our first evening, we enjoyed a private dinner outdoors by the fire pit, listening to the soothing sounds of the babbling brook. The second night featured an unforgettable seven-course candlelit dinner in the main house. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Each morning, a generous breakfast was delivered to our cottage. You definitely won't leave hungry, and you'll be hard-pressed to find a better dining experience anywhere else. Throughout our stay, our host, Michael, was energetic, kind, and welcoming. As both host and chef, he made every part of our visit feel personal and special. We're so thankful for the time and care he puts into creating such a memorable experience.

We entered our cottage and were immediately greeted with a musty smell masked by recent spraying of potpourri. I immediately contacted our host, Michael, and he informed me that was from the previous guest and would dissipate. It was so bad that we couldn't be in the room and were relegated to our screened porch. The furniture on the porch had cushions that were black from mold. We requested dinner in our cabin and were told it would arrive around 7:30. We asked for it earlier and while they "tried to accomodate" the first courses arrived actually late at 8pm. We were told that the next courses would arrive 45 minutes later and didn't come until after 9pm. Meanwhile when we went to shower we discovered there was no hot water. After further investigation, by Michael, he informed us at about 10pm that there was 3 feet of water in the basement! Well that explains the musty smell and no hot water. At that time he did offer us another cottage, however we had decided to leave first thing in the morning. In the meantime the owner, Bill, is pleading with us to stay, but it was too late our mind was made up the anniversary trip was ruined. Bill offered, very kindly, to only charge us what we thought it was worth if we stayed. After leaving, however first thing in the morning he charged my card for the full 2 night stay and has not responded to any of my requests to reverse the charges. The sad thing is this could all be avoided had they not tried to mask over the smell from the beginning. One can only imagine the black mold growing in that basement!

Are you a root beer fan? If you are, then you have to make sure to check this place out while…read moreyou're in Galena. The store isn't large, but they offer a wide variety of root beer brands. In the back, there is a root beer bar where you can purchase one to enjoy while you're there. The staff is always nice and helpful when you have questions about the different types of root beer they offer. They also offer a root beer flight, which I HIGHLY recommend. It gives you a chance to sample what they have in stock before you buy. This is always on my list of places to stop and order a root beer flight every time I visit Galena.

This tasting was so enlightening and I'm definitely coming back because each tasting is different They don't serve the same thing every single time and even if I don't do the tasting I would just come back and buy some root beer from them. This is definitely a stop you need to make when you're going to Galena. Happy tasting!

We found all the hidden spots and earned our reward. This year's design is a pumpkin with a smiley face.

There was plenty of parking out front when I arrived on Monday probably around 10 AM/10:30 AM. There was a small cashier station out front. A lady was short brown hair was explaining how the process works and that you would buy a choice of two different size bags. I chose a smaller bag for $22. I was shown the map and I took a picture of it and headed out to the Orchards. Everything is clearly marked and the paths are also well marked however, if you have any mobility challenges, this might be an issue for you. I don't know if there's any tractors that travel out there. There are wagons for younger kids, etc. I went all the way out past the final orchard to the Honeycrisp. I was surprised to see quite a bit of apple still on the tree. Please follow the directions on how to pick them because you do not want to damage the trees. I got a bunch of varieties which all tasted delicious. I then walked through the little store behind the initial cash register. They have already pre-picked apples, frozen cider donuts, and fresh cider for sale. On the day I arrived. They were already sold out of the fresh cider donuts and they were on their way, but I was already departing the location. Before I left, however, I opted to do the you pick raspberries and cherry tomatoes, which was fun although a bit arduous for the raspberries. Everything actually tasted delicious. I would definitely come back for other activities and of course, supporting local farm. I think this is really good for all ages, etc.. I did see a mix of families and young adults on this visit. Be advised of the closing times I believe it closed at 1 PM on Monday. It was just a fun experience.
