“What a wonderful day to be blessed by such a wonderful family. They have plenty of parking and everything is so well spaced out. Great place for a fun family day or a great start to a nice date with a significant other. There's a nice display of pumpkins and great props for a cute, mini photoshoot for the fam and little ones. They have an area set up for pumpkin painting and hand wash stations for post-paint cleanup. Very organized and just all around friendly. My one year old had loads of fun kicking dirt and picking rocks. As we headed towards the pumpkin patch we were very warmly greeted by Debra Pace. She's very personable and gave us a brief little history of the farm. Her family was there with their beautiful and very sweet dogs. My daughter loved on Liz (one of the dogs). They have some fresh produce, jam, meats and some shirts. Took home some fresh broccoli, straightneck squash, pumpkins that little one picked and a shirt. Will definitely be back again soon.”

“Great small family farm with lots of delicious seasonal produce and local community events. The owners are personable and kind and show a genuine appreciation for your business. We recently made a trip to pick out some Fall pumpkins 🎃🎃🎃 and have also been by the farm in the summertime to enjoy the beautiful sunflower fields. 🌻🌻🌻Highly recommend a visit to Pace's Family Farm!”

“We have been going to this amazing family owned farm for a long time now! Probably pretty close to 10 years now? We love all their delicious fresh produce and we do their CSA Box every year! So excited to cook up all this beautiful produce this week's haul 😍”

“Oh how we love this farm! From the friendliness you experience to the variety of produce throughout the year, it’s the best! We just picked strawberries for the first time and they are delicious. Love supporting a local family and their business.”

“This harvest season has been some of the best produce i have has in a long time i believe my wife sent me 3 times last week so yeah saying goes happy wife happy life thanks to the ladies who helped pick everything”

“Loved visiting here! My boys loved getting to pick our own flowers! And the produce is fresh, farm to table! You can visit tuesday through Saturday!!”

“The farm is well kept and the staff can be friendly. A woman discouraged me from filling their larger bucket with my child on my back. I assume this is because there are a lot of people who come out not knowing the demands of farming, but not everyone has a lack in farming experience. I didnt feel like arguing, but I filled 2 of her smaller buckets just fine which would have been the largest bucket anyway. The Strawberries taste very strongly of the chemical used. I would warn parents not to allow children to enjoy the berries until they have been properly washed.”

“My daughter showed up within the posted hours of the strawberry picking- two hours prior to its end time and she was with her infant. As she approached the entrance, she couldn’t hear what the man said. When she asked he what he said he rudely barked at her that “when I say it’s closed, it’s closed”. Kindness if free - a simple “thank you for coming out to support us but I do apologize we have to close early” would have been much more appropriate and understood.”
