Store was clean, but the issue itself was the cashier, who seemed to be angry at anybody for everything. The people in front of me were scrutinized for not standing close enough to the people in front of them. Those people were scrutinized for not moving their cart, fast enough, despite the fact that the cashier didn't pull up another cart to unload the next person's groceries into. I was scrutinized for not having my groceries in the order that she wanted them to be in, even though she did not put them in a cart She just piled them on top of each other. The people behind me were criticized for not putting their items on the conveyor belt, even though they only had one item and the conveyor belt was wet. Overall, just a gruff rudeness from whoever was working as the cashier on Sunday, August 24 around 5:30.

This was my first time going apple picking. I've heard about it which made me interested, curious,…read moreand excited all at the same time. We picked Cody's farm because there wasn't an entry fee, it wasn't too far, and someone picked up the phone when I called to answer all my questions. You purchase an empty bag for picking apples before starting. A bag costs $30 and holds ~ 30 pounds according to them which works out to $3 a pound. The weather was nice and it was plenty of apple trees to pick from. There were only a couple of other people picking apples while we were there. I imagined these huge trees with apples high up to reach for, but all the trees were around 4 to 5ft. There was several very long rows of different apple trees to walk up and down. I am now convinced to get an apple tree for my back yard since the size isn't huge. The farm had play areas and activities for children so it is a cool place to bring the kids. We hit the store and I bought apple cider donuts that just happened to be really delicious. Most of the produce and products seemed to be a little pricey, but I'm thinking everything is supposed to be organic so the prices are mor. I would definitely return and bring little ones if I had any to spend a day out here.

I was going to get a caramel apple but they were $8 and not made there, prepackaged, so they did not appeal to me. Sandwiches were restaurant prices not" barn" prices so I left.

Just seemed pricey and there was a charge for kids areas so I don't think I need to go back unless I have little ones to entertain.

I drove out to Q7 Ranch today and bought a few pounds of free range, grass fed sirloin, ground beef…read moreand few pasture raised chickens (which are better than simply "free range" in that they get to eat more natural grass because their pen is moved a few feet to a fresh spot every day). They also have pork but I didn't order any. They're very friendly and easy to buy from. Just call first to make an appointment and drive out to the ranch. Most meat is sold by the pound. When I got home I cut the frozen sirloin into 3-4oz pieces and seared in a cast iron skillet (which I think is a more pure way to cook a steak, avoiding any extra flavors which are imparted from cooking over fire). The steak was extremely flavorful. I also minced a piece to have as traditional steak tartare (see picture above). The beef flavor was bright and full -- and the color was amazing. From the Q7 Ranch website: "Quarter Circle Seven Ranch is an Illinois family owned and operated all natural, grass fed beef cattle ranch based in Marengo, Illinois. Blessed with an abundance of natural vegetation and water; our ranches provide over 400 acres of native grass pastures in Marengo, Poplar Grove and Virginia, Illinois with our home pasture being only 58 miles northwest of the Chicago loop. Our husbandry and pasture management practices meet all of the All Natural/Grass Fed requirements that our clients want...locally produced and locally processed. No growth hormone implants or additives. No fed antibiotics. No herbicides applied to our pastures. No pesticides applied to the cattle. Plenty of natural grasses, shade and clean flowing water. Our processing, packaging and pricing is intended to allow for the maximum in client choice. You can purchase one steak, one whole beef or any amount in between or split a purchase with family or friends. We believe that buying locally leaves a smaller carbon footprint by saving energy and therefore should cost less. Our prices are market based, applying discounts of 10% to 33% to the prices of the largest internet based providers. Our mission is to provide Chicagoland families a high quality, locally produced, and affordable choice in grass fed beef. Living "Green" is critical. It is also inconvenient when compared with a trip to the local supermarket. We try to help with that by offering delivery service to your home or business. Although, we have more fun when you visit the ranch to pick up your order and take a look around."

We have also purchased some of their Beef at the Butcher and the Larder and love it. It is nice to have a free range grass fed alternative to the regular store beef.
