“Each time we visit we have a very pleasant experience. The staff is kind and helpful. The views while picking strawberries and spending time on the farm are beautiful. Lots of great places to take pictures! The strawberries are delicious. My kids really enjoy picking them. We also love their strawberry ice cream and feel that everything is reasonably priced. A cone was $3, and they gave a generous amount. There are even chickens there to observe and a fun small area for little kids to play in! I highly recommend coming!”
“Always an enjoyable experience! We go there to pick strawberries in the springtime and pumpkins in the fall. They have a great selection, are reasonably priced, and are easy to get into and out of. The ice cream is delicious, and you can bring a picnic to enjoy with a play area for the kids. It's one of our favorite places to visit!”
“The best ice cream in the US! Impossible to choose favorite ones among all offered. We love their ice cream and beautiful views. Plus you can go for strawberry/blackberry picking.”
“Beautiful place love taking my grandkids here and pick strawberries, have a picnic lunch by the lake. Its so worth the drive. Great way to spend the day.”
“Great family run farm. Great prices, staff and fresh made ice cream with their own fruits. Large selection of flowers herbs and succulents.”
“This family run gem has the best strawberries in the area. Smaller, redder, and more strawberry taste. Head there mid week if you can, they pick out quickly. Great spot for vegetables, jams, and flowers too.”
“Unfortunately, none of the employees were wearing masks in spite of a sign asking people to wear masks. The owner told me that I should take my business elsewhere. After finding rotten strawberries and peaches in their already picked containers that is exactly what we will do!”
“My family drove onto the property (which did not indicate that it was closed), and as we drove up to the house we were met with the owner who was very abrupt and rude. Terrible customer service.”
