We visited Windy Acres Farm on the final day of Fall Fest with my two nieces, ages 2 1/2 and 4, and had an absolutely fantastic time! Despite the rainy weather, it turned out to be the perfect day. The lighter crowds meant the girls could run, explore, and enjoy everything without long lines or feeling overwhelmed by bigger kids. My biggest recommendation for families with little ones is to get the Gold Bracelet! The unlimited rides on the train and Bushels of Fun were absolutely worth it. The girls couldn't get enough! There was also plenty to enjoy with general admission, including the giant jumping pillow, corn play bin, bubble station, mega slide, and the hilarious giant hamster wheels, which were a huge favorite! The petting zoo was another highlight! There was a wonderful variety of animals, and the girls absolutely loved feeding them. A helpful tip: Bring quarters to purchase grain from the dispensers, or you can purchase fresh vegetables near the ticket counter. There are posted safety reminders, so be sure to supervise little ones and use care when feeding the animals. We had a wonderful experience! The staff was fantastic, especially the friendly team member at the ticket counter and the train conductor. Everyone was so great with the kids! We also enjoyed the food, particularly the warm apple cider donuts and delicious mushroom crepes. One more parent tip: Bring extra socks, especially on wet days or after playing in the corn bin! While it's a smaller farm compared to some of the larger fall attractions, I think that's part of its charm, especially for younger children. We captured some priceless memories, and the girls were still talking about everything afterward! Thank you, Windy Acres Farm, for such a memorable day and a wonderful way to end the fall season. We can't wait to return! read more

I finally had the chance to visit the Peach Festival at Windy Acres Farm, and I had a great time! There were so many peach-flavored treats and products to browse, and I enjoyed picking up a variety of items to take home. I did think some of the produce was priced a bit higher than I expected, but overall it was still a fun experience. I also finally tasted the peach slushy. It needed more peach flavor, but it was refreshing, considering how warm it was outdoors. One of my favorite treats was the peach funnel cake. I asked them to add ice cream to make it a sundae, and it was absolutely delicious! One suggestion I'd love to see in the future would be a homemade peach puree or peach syrup to drizzle on top. I think that would take it to the next level. I didn't purchase admission to the area with the petting zoo and other family activities, so I also missed out on the beer garden and grilled food. I think it would be a great idea to have a few food trucks or additional food vendors near the farm stand for visitors who are just there to shop or enjoy the festival without entering the activity area. I definitely would have spent more on food if that had been an option. Overall, I had a wonderful visit! read more

Windy Acres Farm - Feeding the goats - Pumpkin Patches Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

We went to the blueberry festival. They hold this for two weekends in August every year for 40 years. They have a hayride, they have ski ball, they have basketball hoops, they have a bouncing, trampoline, kind of thing, they have blueberries and blueberry shortcake and pies, they have jams and jellies, and definitely lots of sweet, amazing corn. I would say that it's fun and it's great for the kids. They also had an amazing magician and he really did a great job with these tricks. But I would say that the quality of the processed foods had full of color and hydrogenated oils and soybean flour and it's not very healthy. The slushy's also contained lots of food coloring and not much fruit. And the blueberry pie had mostly gelatin like filling and not much blueberry. They had a corn Flight for $12 of four half corn ears and they had different flavors and the corn was amazing. Plenty of Free Parking. If the rain comes, it gets muddy so you might need galoshes or your Hunter boots. It's $18 per person to get in. If you're under two years old is free and for a nine dollar up charge per person you can ride all the rides unlimited. read more

Rude customer service with a side of crazy high prices!! Bought from them at the Wheaton farmers market. In addition to a bad attitude from the woman that was "assisting" us and being snarky because of a simple question about a peach, I was told we had to buy the entire carton of peaches instead of 3 or 4 of them. She then hand placed each peach into a bag and when we got home, 2 of them were already super soft and over ripe with the skin pulled back. The grand finale to all this is the asinine price. Almost $30 for a handful of peaches and a tomato. Learned my lesson w this group. The other farm stand at the market provides a much friendlier experience and a slightly less sticker shock. read more

Do not waste your time going to the blueberry corn festival. You have to pay $18 to get in for one stand that sells corn. Thats it!! They make all the flavors in one side of the corn. A festival should have numerous stands that sell corn and blueberry items. On the bakery side you chose from a blueberry pie and a blueberry shortcake. Where are all other items for an $18 entry??????? Only goes to show the character Type the owners are. Sorry if I could give zero stars I would. Absolutely not with it unless you have little ones that want to pet animals read more

Festival open BLUEBERRY Mud mess Sooo expensive Have to pay for kids attractions AND PAY to enter food area Than BUY FOOD SKIP IT read more

I arrived to this location for the Peach Festival. The location was very easy to find and there are plenty of parking blocked off so, unless the location is very busy, parking should not be a huge issue. I walked into the farmers market and they had lot of things to buy such as fruits, pies, cobblers, and some canned goods like Salsa, Jams and Queso. However, its also the same canned goods you can find at a lot of other places... I didn't see much that said "Windy Acres Farm". There is a bakery which did sell a few peach items but I expected more peach food items from a peach festivals. We did pay extra to get into the kids activities. There was a little sectioned off toddler area. Then there were kids and young adult things like football tosses, tug of war, slides, and a petting kid. The grill had some items like peach BBQ pulled pork, but also loaded fries/nachos and hot dogs. Again... not many peach items for the festival. The bar did have some peach drinks and they were okay. Everyone working at this place was very friendly. I did not have any issues during my visit. However, the prices for the peach was very pricey. Two bags of peaches (which holds maybe 10-12 or so) costed me around $45. So I think it was around 5.99 or so per pound. Sadly, my toddler was acting up so I didn't read the sign properly. However, I did not expect to pay so much for so little peaches Overall, I did have a fun time and I would check out the other festivals but I don't know if I would pay more for the kid things to do..and I wish there would be more themed food items. read more

It's a charming attraction farm perfect for young families, offering a variety of activities to enjoy together. You'll find a wide selection of pantry goods, merch, fresh fruits &vegetables, delicious apple cider & freshly made apple cider donuts, also some potted plants. The farm features multiple activities that can quickly fill an hour or two of fun for everyone. Plus, there are plenty of food stands to satisfy your cravings! Parking is convenient in their spacious lot & the staff is amiable & welcoming! read more

Love their selection of flowers,fruit,veggies,baked goods and we love all their festivals!!

Been a customer of Windy Acres Farm for years but it seems that the quality of the produce in particular has dropped. You can only buy fruit in a quart box instead of selecting your own. I bought a box of strawberries the first day of the strawberry fest and they were moldy on the bottom. Today, first day of peach fest, I bought a peach cinnamon roll which was so hard I had to microwave it a little to bring it back to life. Peaches were picked too soon and are hard as rocks. Prices are out of touch with other farms. read more

Visited this past Friday for the Peach Festival. Nice location and the entire set up is so welcoming and thoughtful. A lot of places to sit and talk I. The shade. Games and activities for kids and great French fries and nachos. The drinks for adults were great as well. We loved it. read more

"Slushie" was melted when served, but the shortcake was good. Super long wait in line.

When I was at the AG BARN I went inside the corn pool and I felt something I wish I didn't. I felt water. I felt so disgusted. This place is amazing, yes! But the corn pool ruined the experience for me and my family. read more

Horrible, rude managers. They are super rude to their employees. Always yelling or degrading them around customers!!!!! I am shocked anyone would want to work here and their prices are outrageously high and have been years!!!! Well before the economy we are currently in. Avoid this place at all costs. Go to abbey farms or Kuipers for friendly service and nicer families/managers!! read more

Almost $20 a person to get in! We came here for the "strawberry" festival and it was such a disappointment. Where the heck were the strawberries!? It was all in the front where the market was. I wish we had known this before going into the little I guess like park/activity area. They had a ton of things for kids to do but it wasn't worth it. We ended up leaving and not having ANYTHING strawberry at a festival that's supposed to be for "STRAWBERRIES." Parking was free though BUT the grass wasn't even cut so that was annoying as well. The service from staff was good though but you can definitely tell they were doing the best they can with it being crowded. This however will the LAST time we'll ever visit here it wasn't worth the 1.5 hour drive. read more

We came here yesterday for the Peach Fest. It was $12 a person to get in. I'll be honest I feel like this is more for kids or people with kids. My fiancé and I are in our 30's and majority of the attractions are for kids. We did enjoy playing bags, they had a attraction where are you can throw footballs like a quarterback through tires, that was really fun. They had baskets to shoot hoops, A jumping station, big chess pieces, a lot of kids climbing areas. They had a band and a place to play mini golf. The petting zoo was really cute. We had a really good time, everything was fun. The staff was friendly and the peach shortcake was really good. The peach cobbler was just ok. Both together was around $17. I think the prices in the farm stand are pretty expensive and people were complaining about that. Parking was easy and free. The train ride is $6. All in all we had fun. read more

I drove 40 mins to get food from he strawberry fest & what a disappointment. The strawberry shortcake was in a tiny bowl for $10 The slushy was just basically a snowball with watered down cherry juice yuck I didn't even drink it my kids didn't even want it. The turkey let was $11 was big but the skin was so tough you couldn't even rip it with your teeth. The only good thing were the fried Oreos. They didn't have that many strawberry food options Like woodys in plano. The strawberry's they sold were $7.50 this place was expensive. If you want a real strawberry slushy go to woodys theirs is made with real strawberries and delicious. read more

My family and I had a BLAST! $16 entry which INCLUDED every activity. Sometimes farms don't have that. Full bar/grill, peach slushees, cobbler, tart, farm James & jellies. Hanging plants. The staff was nice, I mean every member we spoke to. Parking employees navigating traffic and spaces was a plus. I'm excited for the blueberry festival and fall season. Tons of game animals, chickens running around, you can buy a cup of veggies or feed the chickens and goats for .25 or 50 cents. There was a DJ kids were dancing and having a blast. I even saw a magician area. Plenty to do! read more

What a scam! Strawberry Festival. The fruits are not grown there. The pies are not baked there. $17 The fruit inside the strawberry shortcake is frozen and thawed. A few thinly sliced fresh berries on top. Everything is triple what you would expect to pay. The kids area is decent. Ages 3-10 Adults still pay $16 each to watch their kids. The guitar player was good. Festival of Filching is more appropriate. read more

We've come in the past for blueberry and corn fest and while it is packed and expensive (be ready to shell out like $65 just to get into the fest with your family) there is a lot to do. This year we came a day before the strawberry fest just to shop in the store and it was empty! First pick at the tee shirts, grabbed some donuts and strawberries and the kids went to look for the tadpoles at the pond they see now and then. A great experience even if we didn't get a dessert because one of the kids soaked their shoe in mud and wanted to leave! read more

Not only do they have great things you could get from there but a great place to take your kiddos to. Their attitude is amazing as well! The donuts they sell there are delicious... Highly recommended for a visit. read more

We visited on a Friday late afternoon with 2 toddlers. The giant jumpy house was deflated and the "pig racers" were not operating. Bought the kids ice cream which was ice cream from Walmart! I could have purchased 4 cartons in the store for what I paid for 2 scoops! This adventure cost us well over $100! Save your money and skip this place! read more

We passed by this place on our way to/from dinner and I'm so glad we dropped in. We left with $109 worth of maple syrups, beverage syrup, honey, pancake mix and dip mix. So far, we've tried 3 of the syrups and they were delicious (Bourbon Barrel, salted caramel and peach). We might be back for their festival in August for good, music and more tasty treats. We wanted to get some cuts of fresh cow from the freezer, but they were pretty overpriced. I'm sure it was just because it was locally butchered, but we couldn't justify spending $80 on a steak. Do stop by if you're in the area! It seems to have some nice festivals throughout the year! read more

Came here for strawberry fest. It took my friend over an hour to get her food order (brat and fries). I was able to go through the drink line twice before she got her food. If you had kids, there was a nice kids play area which was the only part that you had to pay for. My boyfriend got in line for strawberry shortcake, but then when he sall staff coming in with bags of Walmart strawberries and other items we got out of line. Overall, the band was good and something to do during the day, but nothing that spectacular. read more

Heard they had a peach festival so we came down to just hit the market for peaches and pie. All of their pastries look like they were from a factory. Decided to just get a smalls slice to test out. Yep, not fresh peaches from what I can tell. Looked and tasted like canned peach pie filling. Ridiculous and happy we didn't buy a whole cobbler. I really don't think they grow most of their stuff read more

The market is great, many options to choose what type of vegetable to get. Unfortunately I wouldn't come back or recommend coming here. It's 15 dollars per person and they give you a tiny bag that fits a maximum of 6-8 apples. The going honey crisps apples were all gone, there were very little options to choose from. We were there in the orchard for 20 mins (not a very big orchard at all) and an employ came up to us asking if we're done to go back to the wagon. It was a big group but of course we all felt rushed and got back onto the wagon. It was empty when we were there so we didn't see the rush. Got back to the tables to eat with friends and family. Someone asked if it was ok to have a Bluetooth and music and they said yes. Apparently after a while because we were laughing, eating, and music playing it was considered a party. They told me that if they had known it would be like that they would've charged us as if it was a party but it wasn't. Last time going there also they didn't have most of the deserts that were on the menu. Overall for 15 dollars and a small bag. Definitely not worth it. Other orchards give you a basket and more options to choose from. read more

AMBIGUOUS, UNCLEAR PRICING STRUCTURE. EXORBITANT PRICES. DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES. First of all, I want to say that I'm a huge supporter of local small businesses, and I'm willing to pay a bit more to support them. Windy Acres promotes itself as a $$ business, BUT DON'T BE FOOLED. Recently, I purchased 2 moss baskets. The tags said they are $54.99 each, and their website states the same, AND Tax is included in the price. However they charged me $55/basket plus 7% tax. I thought to myself, why list them as $54.99, then round it up to $55, and I thought Tax was included in the price?? But I let it go. A few days later, they had a sign that said Flower Baskets SALE. I confirmed the sale with the sales woman and decided to get a couple more baskets. I also brought my own hanging wrought iron basket, with the intention of finding a moss basket for it. The woman said that the ready-made moss baskets were too big for my iron basket, and they could make a smaller one to fit while I waited. So I agreed -- with the sale, and a smaller basket, the woman SAID that she'd give me a deal. She charged via Square, and I got my receipt emailed to me, so I didn't bother to check my receipt and went home. That night, I checked my email, and to my shock, I saw that she charged me $85.00 for the smaller basket (!!) and $55 for each of the other baskets! I was shocked and angry because: 1) there was NO discount whatsoever, and 2) she charged me $85 for the smaller moss basket! I kicked myself for not confirming the prices when I left, and I honestly felt duped!! Feeling completely deceived, I went back the next day to talk to the woman. She wasn't there, but there where two other women there (her sisters, I learned). I told them that they did NOT give me any discount, despite the advertised sign. Their answer: "Oh the baskets are really $65.00, so you did get a discount." Seriously?! I was so flabbergasted, as I KNOW that was NOT true. I also asked why the SMALLER basket was $85.00. Their answer: It was a "custom basket" and special orders cost more. Again I was speechless -- with this insanely high price, as a courtesy, they should inform their customers: hey this "custom basket" will be $85, is that okay? AND NO discount here either. In the end, after them making a lot of excuses, they offered to refund me $20. REALLY? $65 for the small basket, and that's supposed to be acceptable? At this point, I was exhausted with this very unpleasant confrontation, and I agreed and just wanted to get out of there. Unfortunately, this entire experience with them was very unpleasant. At the very least, I expect small business owners to be honest and upfront with their prices, yet the owners at Windy Acres where not. If you want to get duped with ambiguous pricing, get charged exorbitant, unreal prices for plants, then try them. I've learned my lesson and will never go there again. P.S. They also sell produce and fruits, and at several Farmers Markets. They state that all their fruit & veggies are grown on their farm. After talking to a very good friend of mine about my experience, she told me 2 of her daughters worked there one summer. Windy Acres bought some fruits from a chain grocery store, had the girls remove the stickers from the fruit, and then sell them at higher prices! Unbelievable and incredibly dishonest. read more

I am shocked at the prices that this place charges for produce we have so many local farm around us that offer organic fresh produce for way way less. My husband and I purchased 5 peaches 1 watermelon and a jar of marinated mushrooms and when we got to the register the lady told us it was going to be over 30 dollar I was in shock what did we buy that cost that much. I don't suggest coming here at all there are way better more reasonable farms out there to go to this place is a complete rip off. read more

When you pull up to Windy Acres, it's so beautiful! They blooming flowers, the cute vegetable stand, it looks like a fun and inviting place. The employees seem to know a lot about their produce, explained how many days you should eat the produce by, etc. A lot of the items didn't have prices on them, which I though was weird, but didn't think anything of it. We got to the register, I asked if they still had peach slushees and if I could add 2 to the order. The cashier finished ringing up my Items and told me the price and all I could think was HOLY SCHNIKIES!! I get more at Whole Foods for $116. I didn't want to be that person to question all the prices, I just paid and left. I got in the car and looked at my receipt. It's just not worth it, I feel ripped off, the fruit was just ok. $20 for a small bag of peaches (5 total) and one had a hole in it and was empty inside. $28 for a decent size peach cobbler, there was no price on that either. Shame on me for not asking the prices though, I will never go back. If you go, just make sure you ask for the prices if they aren't listed and check all your produce. Skip the $6 slushee, it's not worth it. read more

SCAM ALERT! Please be advised their produce is not local and molds within a day or two of purchase. Overpriced even for small farms, and their "homemade" desserts are store-bought. If you see their property on Google Maps, you'll see it's not the expansive farm they claim it to be. When I posted an honest review (attached) on Facebook, they blocked me. This "business" is unprofessional and preys on locals looking for a fun time. Go at your own risk, and be prepared to overpay and have a generally miserable time. Unfortunately, we will not be back for doughnuts as indicated in the original review in light of their continued unscrupulous business practices. read more

I was extremely disappointed in this place. I don't mind paying a premium at a farmer's market to obtain high quality produce. I purchased a half-dozen ears of corn for $1.25 each, so I expected to receive very tasty sweet corn, as advertised. I couldn't pick out the ears of corn myself as one would do at a grocery store. Instead the cashier picked them out from behind the counter. After I got home, I noticed one of the 6 ears was deformed with only half of it being edible. Another one was moldy and had to tossed away. I also bought a peach pie, which the cashier said was quite popular. There were hardly any peaches in the pie. When I cut a sizeable slice for my next day morning breakfast, I lifted up the top of the crust with my folk and noticed there weren't any peaches in the slice. It was basically just peach flavored crust. I won't be visiting this place again. read more
