Wow! What a great farm. It was about an hour drive for me. I packed some travel snacks and water. When I finally arrived. I parked my car. It's a farm, so the parking lot is dirt. Expect your car to get dusty. And of course, you'll get a little dusty too, don't wear your white brand new shoes.
As I walked up to the general store building. I was greeted by Katie. She told me how the whole places worked. Unfolded a map and pointed to all the different places on the farm. Depending if you're paying for the petting zoo, or just picking your own produce, you'll get a color coded wrist band. I got green. I was just going to walk around take some pictures and hopefully get some watermelon. I know it's out of season, but I was hoping something was going to be left. Sadly I didn't see a whole lot left as far as tomatoes go, or peppers. Maybe I was in the wrong spot. Or maybe they were further down the lanes. I did see watermelon, and I decided to try this yellow watermelon. Know idea what it would be like, and I got a dark green watermelon. I've only cut into the yellow one. And I have to say. I was surprised when I looked at the insides. It looked like a squash. The seeds were very different than a typical watermelon. Surprisingly, it was really good. Not a strong flavor, but still sweet. I did try a balsamic vinegar on it too, just to play with some flavors, and it was delicious!
Overall, this farm was really wonderful, and next year, I will come during peak season, not end season.
They do have a wonderful pumpkin area too. I took pictures of the house frame that they use to sit pumpkins all over it. Great place for photo ops. You can see their IG page and see the shots from past pumpkin season. They do have picnic tables all over. They do have an outside bar.
As I finished my outside tour, I wondered through the general store and picked up some goodies. They have a lot of sweets. Caramel apples, fudge, pies, homemade jams, donuts, and cakes and lattes. A little bit of everything for your sweet tooth.
Hope to come back during peak season next year. Or maybe even come back when the temps are cooler and get into the Fall spirit.
