Doepkens Farm

“Absolutely LOVED this place! Any negative reviews about the owners were completely exaggerated. Everyone was all smiles, friendly helpful and all around extremely kind. The area was super cute and well presented. Both around the buildings and inside the show room. The selection was IMPRESSIVE and their prices were very reasonable to honestly surprisingly low on some items! There were animals everywhere including many friendly cats that were just walking around! 10/10 or in this case 5* for this place, we will definitely be back! If I had to be critical and pick one downside, it's that you can't go out into the patch and pick a pumpkin from the field, but they had so many amazing high quality pumpkins all over the place to choose from that honestly, we didn't even care. It was a great experience 👍”

“We went to get UT orange mums. There were chickens to see and a cat to chase. We didn't see the sign that saidPlease do not climb on pumpkins and we were trying to get a cute.picture of our grandson with the giant pumpkins, but the workers/ owners did not seem annoyed with us and let.us enjoy our visit.”

“Wow, I'm so glad we pulled in to check out the mums, they are beautiful. Also had pumpkins and edibles. We may be back next weekend just to look at the flowers.”

“Bought a gorgeous bouquet at Doepken’s Farm today. The variety, quality, and selection of flowers is amazing. I’ll be back!”

“We recently visited Doepkens Farm for a fun fall outing, eager to support a local business instead of heading to the larger Montpelier Farm like we usually do. We were excited to purchase items and take photos, enjoying the beautiful scenery and festive atmosphere. However, our experience took a negative turn when the owner confronted us about our camera. While we were simply trying to capture the joy of the day, he demanded that we stop taking photos. It was puzzling, especially since we noticed other guests snapping pictures without issue. When we inquired further, he insisted that we needed to pay $50 for the privilege of taking photos on his property. We complied, feeling somewhat bewildered by the situation. The cashier seemed confused as well, asking the owner about the charge and how to process it. This led us to believe that this wasn’t a common practice at the farm, which only added to our frustration. Even after paying the amount he requested, the owner continued to justify his reaction, explaining that his business needed to make money. While we understand the challenges of running a business, his approach felt more confrontational than professional. It was disheartening to be treated this way, especially as we were there to enjoy the local experience and support the farm. We left feeling targeted and disappointed by the owner's demeanor. Communication is key in any business, and a more respectful approach would go a long way. We hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the owner, as well as a heads-up for others considering a visit. There are plenty of welcoming farms out there, and we hope to find one that values its customers’ experience.”
