One of the things I love about this place is its multi-generational history. Whenever I step on the…read moreproperty, I feel like I have gone back in time when life was a bit simpler, and people respected one another. This is not one of those big commercial farms that are overcrowded with people. Instead, there is plenty of room to roam, and it's great. Our visit last weekend was no different. I have taken my kids here for about 14 years now. We always have fun, whether we are picking apples, pumpkins, or playing. My only complaint is that there usually seems to be a limited staff, and we never walk away thinking, "wow, they were so friendly!" It has never felt like a friendly place. That's surprising to me for a multi-generational family farm. Last weekend was the same, unfortunately. The young lady that weighs the pumpkins was exceptionally grumpy and rude. My kids even talked about her poor attitude. Prices always seem to be relatively high here, although there is no price for admission, which is very nice. However, as we left last weekend, a somewhat oversized woman was walking around the barn entrance, just out of sight from the staff. The kids and I wondered why she was looking at people this way. Then we saw why - She was stuffing mini-pumpkins in her coat and pants! Seriously... stealing mini-pumpkins! In all, we had a great time and continued making fun memories. We will no doubt be back, despite the crankiness.

I've been going to Centennial Farms for a few decades now. While the business exterior has changed…read morequite a bit over the last 20 years, the quality of the apples and pumpkins have remained the same. This isn't an overly-commercial apple-picking farm that's crowded with swarms of people like some farms. Centennial is a grassroots family farm with heart and soul. I really enjoy walking out back to the orchard (though they do have a hayride for those with small children), and going through all the rows of apples. There are multiple varieties of apples clearly labeled with wooden signs in front of each row. One of my favorite varieties of apple they have are Empire apples (and it's not only because I'm a huge Star Wars geek). They are a sweet and sour apple that are great to eat by themselves or wonderful for baking with. When you're done picking, just weigh your own apples on the scale and head up to the register in the barn to pay. Pick-your-own apples are $1.75/pound. If you want a peaceful apple-picking experience out in beautiful Augusta, Mo., then please give Centennial Farms a try!

Great little place!…read more Tons of free activities for the kids such as swingers, teeter totter, bounce house ish, tongs of food like brats, nachos, hotdogs and tons of variety with each. There's funnel cakes and fried Oreos Pumpkin launching, corn maze and a cute general store

I'm a teacher, and our grade recently visited Pumpkins Galore for a field trip on a Friday morning…read more The booking process was simple and stress-free. Unfortunately, on the morning of our field trip, it was pouring rain. As we were on the buses headed there, Pumpkins Galore contacted us with complete transparency that they weren't sure they'd be able to accommodate our group due to the rain. I really appreciate their honest communication and customer service. When we arrived, the rain ended up stopping for the rest of the day, and we had perfect weather! Since everything was soaked from the downpour, Pumpkins Galore adjusted the schedule and activities for us. Their flexibility was amazing. I couldn't believe how much there was for us to do! The kids explored the corn maze, played on the playground, painted their own pumpkins to take home, went on a tractor ride, and fed goats, chickens, a turkey, and a peacock. They had an absolute blast. There were plenty of picnic tables for us to eat the sack lunches we brought. Porta potties only, but they were super clean. Pumpkins Galore went above and beyond and delivered all the painted pumpkins to our school the following week since the paint hadn't dried in time on the day of our field trip. Awesome experience from start to finish, and I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for some fall family-friendly fun, definitely check this place out!

This was pretty good Farmer's Market and also the first we've been to since moving from the West…read moreCoast. I wasn't expecting much because my usual go to would any local honey, a coffee stand, pet treats, and produce. And I got what I was looking for and then some! The parking situation here is not bad since it's in the center of shopping plaza. We got here pretty early at around 8:00am and it was already set up and lots of people roaming around. It didn't pick up until closer to 9am, and we were already leaving by then. We stopped by the following: *Bean Sprouts Coffee*: I ordered a coconut kiss iced latte - so very good if you like coconut and vanilla! *Elli + Cubb Lemonade*: they have something called an orange crush which is SO YUMMY! Their drinks come in deli containers so it is a lot. My husband got a regular lemonade and he liked it *Tripleton Boricua*: We got the triple meat sandwich and a cubano - the bread was great, and the meats were juicy. This should have been the first bite of the market, but I'm glad it was the last. *Kandela's Food*: My husband and in-laws got empanadas from here while I waited for coffee, I wasn't hungry yet but I did take a bite - very good! *Smirking Dog Farm*: I noticed they had butter radishes here and beautiful, colorful carrots. I bought one bunch each and my total was only $9.00. I really enjoyed this market, and I hope to come back again!

Let me begin by saying I absolutely love a farmer's market. I have been to this one many times over…read morethe last few years. I am afraid this last time might be it for awhile. We arrived by 8:30 a.m. and the parking was already a nightmare. I love many of the vendors as well, but would like to see more veggies and meat options. I have a few I always hit up. The lines appear to be getting longer as well. Plus, it was getting so crowded it was hard to navigate. I love the location and it is close to home, but it took me 30 minutes to exit the parking lot. I am glad I didn't have another place to be. I will be heading to Tower Grove next time. I hope to give this place another shot in the future.

We also bought various meats (bacon, brats) from a number of vendors, birthday cards and much more. Really felt like we made the most of our trip. I would encourage you to make a visit and if you have kids, they had several vendors that catered to kids so they would certainly have fun too!

A major highlight on our most recent Katy Trail adventure, and I'm already looking forward to…read morereturning on the next one. One of the best parts of the Katy Trail is you blend remote, pure nature, with surprising and fun little stops that pop up throughout the journey. We had zero idea that the KT Caboose had been taken over and was open for business, but man, we were very pleasantly surprised. Not only is it on brand, being a caboose on the former rail line, it's like it was truly made for cyclists needing a nice pit stop. Shady umbrellas, trail views, and nice restrooms make this a total win. We got some ice cream and French press coffee, two of my favorite things in the world. It was wonderful, and I want to emphasize that what I am about to say is not a typo: it was *UNDER* priced. Yes, you read that right. In an era where grocery bills seem to add +$30 every week, and my old Amazon staples have all doubled, this place was actually underpriced. I don't remember exactly but an ice cream sundae with fresh fruit, several cups of coffee, and a big ice cream waffle cone were well under ten bucks. Johnny, feel free to bump them up a bit because we want you to make enough and to stay open for many years, otherwise we'll leave continue to just leave some extra as a tip for you next time in. There aren't a ton of places on the Katy since it's so rural and spread out, but with spots like Meriweather Cafe back west in Rocheport, and this spot, they really shine bright and make an impact. Grateful to have them and can't wait to be back in on our June ride!
