| - First off, we came in mid October, which is apparently and understandably not a good time. We walked all over the farm and still couldn't understand how people were finding anything to pick/buy. It wasn't just us either. I heard at least 2 other people say stuff like "I guess we'll try again in the spring" as they walked around as empty-handed as us. I LOVE the idea of this place, but it just didn't pan out. I will definitely be going back in the spring, when there is (hopefully) stuff available. At that time, I will be updating this review. Moving on, besides the pick-n-pay aspect, they also offer homemade goodies that would make it worth visiting any time of year. They sell fresh apple cider which is remarkably tasty and refreshing (the pear cider was just okay, imo) and when we were there, they had a booth set-up that was selling fresh-from-the-fryer apple cider donuts. Let me tell you, these donuts (we skipped the icing) were simply incredible, unbelievable and other adjectives as well! They were honestly some of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of eating. If you ever go, do yourself a favor, wait in that understandably-long line and get yourself some. You won't be disappointed. We actually considered driving all the way back just to buy some more.
We also got some homemade almond butter and, maybe it's just a matter of personal taste, but neither of us liked it at all. It was near tasteless, a little gritty and completely impossible to spread on to bread. Definitely won't be doing that again. But like I said, we both really dig the pick-n-pay concept and the cider and donuts almost make up for us walking away with no vegetables. Depending on the time of year, this place is definitely worth checking out.
