If you want to be treated well, do not go to this farm…read more Went berry picking with the family as we do every year. I go to check in and the guy saw we have the same baskets (from Hoffman) and asked if we want more. We said sure and he threw a basket at us. We asked if there was anything we needed to know. Guy said "nope, you are all good" Go berry picking. See there are rows with orange fencing, which means do not pick here. Pretty obvious. There are blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, marion berries, tay berries, etc. Went to pick blueberries (please mind you, not fenced off) and after getting almost a whole bucket of beautiful blueberries, grandpa on the train honked and screamed at me "NO BLUEBERRIES. NOT OPEN" to which I asked how would I know? He threw his had at me and didn't answer. I didn't understand. Maybe he thought the check in told us not to pick blueberries? But the guy didn't. Thought they were fenced off? I don't know. Pretty odd to be screaming at a customer and not answer them back. We have been going to Hoffman for forever but will be going to another farm due to poor treatment to paying customers. (I have inserted a picture of a sign that says "u-pick fields are closed" at the beginning of the sign, which would mean u-pick is closed? No sign or rope on the other side of field. Sign is easy to miss and if you cannot read English, not obvious that those rows are closed) (Inserted checkin table that does not state anything about what berries are closed) Berries are good. Only reason for 2 stars otherwise 1.

Once you walk in to its exterior, seemed like a nursery, but there's a wide assortment of fresh veggies, fruits and even a refrigerated section with organic eggs. There is a store packed with novelties, from dishes to jams, candles, local handmade goods, jewelry. You can pick up just about anything here and there is even an ice cream area in the back. The most fun and exciting part was enjoying picking out your own berries and grapes. You are instructed to get your own bucket which is weighed when you are done.

When it's berry picking season, I head to Morning Shade Farm! They have so many varieties -…read moreblackberries, boysenberries, Marion berries, elderberries, raspberries. The blackberries and Marionberries, my fave. They are big, plump, and bursting with flavor. Plus, they are so much easier to pick at a farm where the bushes are staked to a trellis vs. the wild ones I pick on the side of the road. Don't get me wrong, I do pick the wild ones, but I'm usually covered in juice and my hands and arms get all pricked. When I'm here, I pick a huge bucketful so I can make pies. The berries are so sweet I just add a little sugar and lemon juice and the pies are perfect. Also pick enough so I can enjoy some plain, by the handfuls. Their blueberries are sweet and delicious, too! I make space in my freezer so I can have them throughout the year. If you don't want to pick your own, no worries, they sell containers and flats in their cute country store along with other food and gift items. This family farm is so picturesque! It's a lovely setting and it's well run with friendly staff. If you are picking fruit, definitely go in the morning to avoid the sun beating down on your back. And wear a hat!

Ages. But we got gorgeous pumpkins and I grabbed a few of the fancy blue ones for decor. For three "medium" pumpkins and a couple small ones we spent $41!! What value. Where they get you is the corn maze. Skip it!!! If we could have gotten a refund we would have. Trust me when I say BEYOND disappointed. It was muddy. SO muddy. And that could have been remedied with hay on the ground. That would have saved everyone's shoes and cars. And it was $5 per person for a literal circle. It wasn't a maze. It was a circle. That took 5-7 minutes to slowly walk. That was insane. That's where we PAID for the pumpkins. Everything here is pay via Venmo or cash box on the honor system. That's why we paid out the wazoo for the maze. Ugh. How crummy!! (So you HAVE to use Venmo or cash ONLY!) A little bonus was being able to see baby sheepies and the kids loved feeding them corn stalk leaves and watching them. Sheepies!!! Anyway, next year is YES to Pumpkins and sheepies and NO to the maze.

I love that the farm is totally flat, making it easy to park and walk around. Seeing and hearing the baby and mama sheep was a delight. There is also a corn maze located toward the back of the property. The maze is a cool attraction but I have to agree with another recent review, it really isn't a maze at all. It truly is a circle or a lap, like taking a lap around the park. It's not challenging or engaging, it's just a muddy lap through the corn field. Spend your time with the sheep and the pumpkins & skip the maze.

I've returned berries to other stands because they didn't taste right, and after several years of coming here, I've come to realize that it's just because Albeke's are that much better. I'm not sure what it is they do, but they do it right. I tend to be lazy since Albekes is usually at the Farmers market but some days, I just can't wait that long. My mouth was watering before I even got there. Picked up 1/2 flat about an hour ago and looks like I'll still be getting more at the Farmers market this weekend because since I've been home, almost half of them are gone already . Thanks Albeke's for your consistently fresh and mouth-watering produce!

They are taking precautions for COVID-19, so you cannot bring your own containers for U-pick. Instead, you pre-pay for a container they provide (I.e. quart, 1/2 flat), and then you fill it and leave (no weighing). 1/2 flat was $12.50 for raspberries, blueberries, and boysenberries. They ask everyone stay at least 6' apart. It has never been too crowded, so it is rather easy to maintain your distance and pick where you please. The fruit is delicious, and right now there are plenty of raspberries and blueberries!
