Lovely little family run, small-ish farm stop for your apples, pumpkins, cider, goodies, slushie…read moreand turkey needs! Wanted to bring my 1.5 Year old somewhere a bit more lowkey than the big wigs in town and also wanted to knock out pumpkins and apple picking at the same time- enter Blackman Homestead Farm. It ticked those boxes and also delicious slushies (apple cider and grape) just a missed opportunity for delicious pastries (hmm cinnamon donuts!) We thank goodness read Darlene's review about making a reservation and did that the day of around noon and was able to get in at 330! The reservation is made online and the farm is FREE to enter (amazing) but can't be changed or cancelled, however you only need it per carload, so unless you're bringing another car, you can tack on extra folks. We purchased some apples we picked (it was pretty low in the season to pick off the trees) and some that were all set for you in bins, a pumpkin, some cider, a tiny pumpkin and were surprised by the price. Gently it was not as expensive as I thought. Parking was quick and easy on a later Saturday afternoon, with a quick Hi to the Turkeys, some exploring around the pumpkins and picking some apples we had a good time after about an hour and half. I did noticed that it was well organized and lots of folks did disregard the signs: don't feed the Turkeys (grass) and pick up the apples you drop off the tree. There were alot of half eaten, throw apples on the ground which made me kind of sad. Please respect someone's rules and property, it's so nice to be able to come see the farm for free, I hope that doesn't change.

There is a small, outdoor shop for cider and fruit already to take home; and many spots to sit and enjoy the view from this escarpment. The helpers are friendly and the offerings are varied. All things fall - pumpkins on offer, gourds, homemade fall-spiced cookies, signs for great social media pix - and totally family friendly. Parking is abundant. We make this an annual day for picking , always a pleasure.

I've been coming to Coulter Farms since I was a kid when my Grandma, bless her soul would bring me…read moreand my 5 cousins, don't know how she did it, but such sweet memories they are. This summer me and one of my cousins and our husbands came back to relive our memories, and the place was just how I remembered. Very friendly staff and service. There is a phone number on their website to call which gives up to date directions in terms of what is available and when and where which is super convenient. At the farm they have quart and pint containers, bags and trays for you to use as you go out and pick. Their fields are nice and easy to find. The fruit is fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced. The trouble is the timing, anyone who has picked before knows there is a small window. Strawberries usually come near the end of June and then cherries, blueberries and raspberries quickly follow. Blink and you might miss it, as soon as the end of the school year approaches, use the phone number so that you don't! Coulters seems to have fair pricing for their fruit. Berries all are purchased by pint or quart, whereas cherries are purchased by pound. While they are delicious and worth every penny, be aware the cherries will add up quickly, they weigh more than you think! If you're looking for a fun day, rewarding when you bring home the spoils, check out Coulter farms. Remember to catch them at the end of June, and bring some sunscreen and water, it gets hot out there!

We ended up buying a walnut caramel apple pie which is possibly the best pie I've ever had. And this is coming from someone who isnt much of an apple or any fruit pie type of person. The pies cost $17 and are totally worth it. A word of advice is that if you decide to pickup one of their custom pies, order it in via phone a day in advance.

It was warm, starting to get dark, and lucky for us very dry (in the past it's been a little muddy so I always recommend boots to be safe). This year's theme for the corn maze was Niagara Falls! If it's your first time - I recommend bringing a flashlight, hoodie, and a few extra dollars for snacks/drinks. Also boots or good walking shoes that you won't mind if they get a little muddy. It was dry this time but in the past it has been a little muddy in spots. Before entering the maze, we stopped at the snack shop. They had cookies from a local bakery, popcorn, kettle corn, pop, coffee, water, and some food. We got the sea salt caramel chocolate cookies which were amazing!! All the prices were reasonable too! Then we went over to pet the animals! They had two cows, an alpaca , and two goats (one was a baby goat, so cute!). They also sold cups of feed for the animals ($1). To get through the entire maze took us about 45 minutes but that was with us basically moving the whole time and not coming across too many dead ends. The admission is normally $10/adult but we bought the Groupon so we got half off. Highly recommend checking out the maze! We'll be coming back next year for sure!

The best thing about this store now is that they offer tasting samples, which are lacking in many places since Covid. Being able to taste their offerings caused me to buy much more than I ever thought I would when I walked in. So many great things to taste - warm bread, oils/vinegars, dips/spreads. Everything I tasted was excellent! There were also fresh pies and amazing looking cheesecakes, which I've heard taste as good as they look. Single pieces are available along with entire cakes. Also, a variety of pastas. I couldn't buy everything, but what I did purchase, and it was a lot, is all worthy of 5 stars. They also have a smaller shop in the Olcott Shops. Not sure what is carried there since those shops are small.

Their Facebook page though said it was picking season and guests are welcome so thought to try it. The cost on the sign for picking pears was $2.50/lbs, which I thought a good deal but when we asked to pick we were handed a 15-gallon wooden basket. When we advised we were only planning to buy 5-10lbs, they said we could only buy the pre-picked ones (which were more expensive and much smaller). Cost aside we were looking to actually pick our own but oh well. The owner seems nice but maybe it's customer base is not the U-pick type Ended up going to the Smith Orchard Cider Mill about a mile away , which was really nice

I imagine it would be an incredible place to boast a small wedding or summer event. After picking a bunch of lavender we watched the sun set with our wine and snacks while a guitarist serenaded us.

The location its self was completly zen with a twist for a barn with variety of natural goods, tart cherry juice, upcycled goods, vegetarian snacks, dried goods, garlic, few Maple Sugar products, CBD oil and even have the orchard right on its location for cherry picking when there in season. Plan to check them out if they have cherries for You Pick later in the season.
