“Starts farm is our family's tradition for pumpkin picking. We love the whole experience. Friendly staff, a hay ride, and a real pumpkin patch that's huge. We love to get all of our funky pumpkins and my son loves getting to cut his pumpkins right off the vines. We always finish our trip off in the corn maze. We highly recommend Swarts for your fall family pumpkin picking photo ops and family time.”
“Ms Swartz is really good human being and her farm is really wonderful with piece around the place and pick your own strawberry has been great experience good clean place owners are really friendly we will be going next time and will def recommend to everyone worth the visit waiting for soya bean once it harvest we will be going to pick those as well”
“Great strawberry picking right now. Picked ten pounds in an hour and best price at 3.50/pound. The picking is great with very few weeds and straw to cushion the berries. The season is short with anticipated rain so get them while you can. You can’t beat the flavor of fresh picked strawberries”
“Every time everything is perfect. Now more than ever the prices are great and the family can make a day of it. Between the corn maze and the pumpkin patch that they can pick their own pumpkins”
“Had such a great time last night going through the corn maze with my daughter ! Keep up the great work, Swartz Farm! Great place and very friendly staff”
“Season just started. Beautiful sweet strawberries.”
“Pros: Love the hayride and pumpkins. Good prices and unique varieties. Cons: One of the women working the counter is very rude and unwelcoming. No itemized receipt is provided, she just does the math without showing it to you so no opportunity to check.”
“I had a really bad experience here. I waited with two babies for the hayride to start for 20 minutes, nobody said anything. I had to ask when it began and they said whenever. Then when me and the babies were in the pumpkin patch, the HAYRIDE LEFT WITHOUT US, NOT EVEN SAYING ANYTHING. It took my girls doll with it and she had a melt down in the pumpkin patch. It’s a beautiful place but there was no communication or structure.”
