What Our Visitors Say
Real experiences from farm friends
This apple orchard was a lot of fun. You take a hayride to where the apples and pumpkins are. They also have food and games to entertain kids. They have a little maze in their sunflower patch. They also have an apple shooting gun. They have hay piles for kids to climb on. And it's not too far from the cities. Their apples were really good. They do a good job of allowing people to only pick the apples that are ripe.
What a fun place to go and celebrate autumn! They have a fun hayride that takes you to some outdoor activities and pick your own apples. There's a field of sunflowers too. Nice variety of apples, jams, salsas, cheese curds, fresh eggs and honey too!
Awesome family farm! We got to pet calves, see lots of chickens, take a hayride out to the apple picking and pumpkin patch. Our hayride driver was hilarious and made the kids laugh. Reasonable prices for everything! We are excited to try the apple crisp, apple sausage links, and apple brats we purchased 🍎. Another plus is they accept cash, credit, or venmo. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you Brand Farms!
