Rader Family Farms

“Our 1st time here, absolutely gorgeous day, so it was packed, which was fine, except that I feel like they may have been a tad understaffed. Every single memeber of their staff was earning their money, working hard, being polite, no complaints at all about the staff themselves I am also going to aay they need to work on the bathrooms, w/the crowds they must get, they are sorely lacking in facilties. I, for one, am not going to use an outhouse unless I have to, and the one indoor restroom area has 2 separate bathrooms, but the lines for both the outdoor and indoor toilets were 25 people deep from the time we got there at 1:30, until 5:30 when we left. The lines for everything were a little frustrating, only because it took up so much time, but aside from adding to certain areas, I am not sure there really is a lot they can do about that. Very clean, and I did love that they provided an outdoor area w/soap and water at the port-a-potty, most places do not. It is a lovely place, and actually not overpriced in anyway, aside from the areas I mentioned above, still a 5 star rating.”

“Excellent choice for family fun. Many activities: new huge slide, corn maze & much more. Rader Family Farm is open Wed-Sunday. They sell many pumpkins of all sizes. You can pick your own if you want to. It’s a very well maintained place with friendly signs to help you navigate. It’s super clean! They also have added many great backdrops for some photo ops so you can take your feel good vibes with you. If you are hungry for a quick lunch there are 2 places to get food. They serve pulled pork and they have specialty coffees, apple cider, donuts, pies and popcorn! I highly recommend this place and Bloomington Normal is lucky they have this in their own area.”

“This place is huge and there is a lot to do. Our 3 & 1/2 y/o granddaughter had so much fun. The play house town was a blast. She wouldn't go down the long slide but it sure looked like fun. The food was good, between the three of us we had the hamburger, grilled cheese and the brat with pulled pork on top (which was great). Clean restrooms (they had actual bathrooms and porta-potties scattered though out the place). Plenty of parking (the parking lot alone was bigger than some of the other pumpkin farms we've been to). TIP: You can buy your tickets ahead on-line and skip the longer at-the-door line. We will be heading back next year, more than once.”

“My husband and I attended the Night Maze event hosted by Rader Family Farms! We had such a fun time! While my husband has visited RFF his whole life as a local, this was my first time visiting as a newcomer to the Blo-No community! It was such a well organized event! From getting tickets to ordering a frozen cider and figuring out the maze, the staff seemed so glad to assist and genuinely felt like they themselves were having fun while on the job! RFF is the perfect place to bring together families and groups of all ages!”

“One of my absolute favorite places in Blo-no. Perfect for families/kids, there are endless amounts of things to do. I love the cozy little shops, food, and drinks. So many photo opportunities. I wish they were open year round, my son loves it here as well! I’ve been to many places for fall festivities in different states and Rader farms blows all of them out of the water 😊”

“What an amazing experience! I highly recommend a fall family visit to Rader Farms! There are so many activities to do! I was worried about long lines. But I was pleasantly surprised we had little to know wait and we were able to experience almost everything.”

“I had a wonderful time at the farm today. Really love the apple cider slushies. Don't forget to buy your donuts and pies to go. Or you can eat them here. This is a great place to bring kids. Some fun field trip for those school classrooms.”

“Very enjoyable experience, the kids had so much fun. This place is a gold mine for the owners. The lines to get inside were non stop people. Well done it definitely worth it.”
