5/5
We h e been here twice and had a blast each time! Even when it’s crowded, it’s still a relaxed vibe of family fun. We tried the pumpkin patch picking this year and it was so sweet! Please be sure to read the signs on what food to give each animal, if they can be fed at all. Very few are exempt from feeding fun and they’re also awesome to visit with. We want to keep those guys healthy for many years to come!
The farmer’s market is equally fun and delicious. They feature fresh meat, produce, eggs, local jams, honey sticks, art, candles, and sweet treats!
This was my only unpleasant experience that happened during our last visit (yesterday) was at the mini winery within the market. I hadn’t realized it was there and I went in excitedly to check it out. I grabbed a menu on a table and the woman behind the counter was visibly upset, saying I need to wait and was touching a “dirty” table. It turns out that the menus has been used by a previous group that was checking out. The woman was so upset that she made a big deal of interrupting the group’s checkout. I torn her it was fine and I was just scoping things out, no need to fuss about a new menu. One of the members of the group gave me a sympathetic look and clean menu from the counter while the woman went off to find a menu (not sure why she didn’t give me the one that was at her counter, as the customers did themselves). When she returned and saw me with a clean menu she said something like “oh she got one, whatever. I’m going to stay out of it.” I then walked out, as I had zero interest in patronizing this part of the business. I later witnessed her being nasty to another woman who was asking for directions to a particular part of the farm. She looked at and spoke to her wide eyed and condescendingly.
I’d rather drive an hour and a half away to Soons Orchards and give my business to their tap room.
All that said, this one woman wasn’t enough to ruin the experience for me and my family. The rest of the market, petting zoo, and greenhouse staff is lovely and the entire place is a great experience. Bring your family! (Skip the wine)
