“We went for the Memorial Day festival and it was fun. There were hayrides, play areas for the kids, a bounce house, pony rides ($5) and if course strawberry picking. There was plenty of parking and lots of tables and chairs for relaxing. The strawberries were not as abundant because most had been picked but the area was well maintained and we really enjoyed it. Best of all, the strawberries were delicious. I've never had fresh picked strawberries and they are so much better than store bought. We will definitely return.”

“Beautiful farm on a lake. We went June 1st. They had strawberries and blueberries to pick as well as a farm store with other fresh produce and local honey. Blackberries were not ready to be picked yet. There were picnic tables and a little playground for the kids by the lake. Prices are great! We had a fun time.”

“Today was a great Sunday at the Strawberry patch, our first time going! Shawn the cashier was very knowledgeable about the honey we pick WILD FLOWER helps with reducing inflammation, carry antioxidants, prevent heart conditions and few types of cancers. an we all know what the world is facing right now (COVID-19). So this honey will definitely be mix with my ginger an honey tea daily. Shawn also explained that the field had a busy week so we might not see much but the ones we do see will still be good an fresh. An OMG the strawberry 🍓 smell sooooo fresh. Can’t wait to make my strawberry an banana smoothie in the morning!!! We definitely will be return once the vegetables stand comes.”

“Very friendly hosts. They had a hay ride and a little playground equipment for kids. If you bring lunch, they have some shaded tables to have lunch. They provide a basket that is weighed with your picked strawberries. My daughter and I had fun.”

“Farm people were very nice and the strawberries were very small but very sweet. They have some play equipments but they are very old and can break easily. Portable restrooms had no water or sanitizer.”

“Came here twice for strawberry picking. Nice place with friendly staff.. Apart from farm there were lot of stalls and entertainments which kept the place lively.”

“I have visited a couple times over the past 4 years and it has essentially been the same as my recent visit-I am only reviewing the strawberry picking. The strawberries are not very large in general, many are sitting on the ground and in the mud in some spots. The straw is degraded and scattered. Many of the nice looking berries have spots where they have been eaten by bugs. I was able to fill my basket but there were other people in the field that were very frustrated. Price is in line with other ‘by the pound’ places and the location is easy to find and park.”

“Nice free pumpkin patch with free rides. Pumpkins prices aren’t bad but veggie stand and fruit prices are too high in my opinion. Visited them a couple of times but not returning anymore. The corn I got was bad and so was the apple. There are better stands and farms as well as berry picking places etc.”
