What a fun time the annual Applefest is! This year, the $5pp admission got us kid games, live…read moremusic, hayrides, candle dipping, face painting, free samples of apple butter and apple cider (that we got to help make), and access to farm animals (cows, sheep, donkeys, ducks, chickens, goats, and a pig). For a reasonable price, there were two food trucks (cheesesteaks, meatball sandwiches, hot roast pork, chicken nuggets, fries, etc), cupcakes, jars of locally made apple butter and honey, plus fundraiser table with caramel sauced apple slices. I was SO impressed with the volunteers. They were all very professional and polite. It was all teens hosting the kids' games, and they were amazing kids; all cheerful, competent, proactive individuals working to make a very fun experience for those younger. Everything ran super smoothly. They had ample volunteers at every post, but they weren't talking to one another or on their phones, they were present and willing/looking to help. I can tell Fox Chase is very experienced with these events because there was a process for each activity, lines were plotted with ropes or signs, everything was well-placed and well-spaced. Volunteers were apprised of every detail for their job, and super well informed. It was just extremely diligently planned. They even had parking at various local lots, and a school but shuttle to get you to/from the farm, all free. Even the police crossing guards at the entrance were plentiful and right on top of their tasks. In addition to having a blast with my kid, I also enjoyed the community. There was so much diversity at this event, I loved it! I heard so many different languages and saw all types of people. It was so fun to join in with such a melting pot of Philly Area peeps. Even the animals were chill and content, and super gentle with and trusting of the kids feeding and patting them. It was a great time! My only suggestions would be for the event to be longer (it was 12-4pm), and for more fall apple offerings, like apple fritters, candy apples, cider donuts, pumpkin bread, caramel popcorn, etc. If the fundraiser table sold those items it would be amazing! Also if there were a table selling apple and pumpkin pies on the way out, I can see them making a mint. People were so reluctant to leave, and wanting to spend money and take things home.

The founder is a warm, lovely person who has worked very hard to create experiences that are appropriate for people of all ages & abilities. The outdoor portion of the visit includes experiences that are visual, aural, olfactory, tactile, & even edible. They are set up for people with a variety of mobility. The indoor facility was beautiful & engaging, with separate rooms for active playing, light & sound sensory experiences, and even a meditation room. I went twice in 2 weeks, with different children & adults who had some similar but also some different favorites. I will be back. This is a very, very special place. We're so lucky to have it here in Bucks County. Every community should have a Friends of Fox Chase Farm.

I really want to give five stars because I love the idea of community supported agriculture (CSA),…read morebut I feel like there are other farms that provide more bang for your buck. Living Hope CSA is great because they have a close drop off location to my house, and I like supporting local farms which provide us weekly fresh organic produce free of fertilizers and pesticides. The vegetables (and fruit such as tomatoes) are DELICIOUS, but I think other CSAs give more produce each week. (We compared what we got to what our friends get from other CSAs that also do 6 items for a small share.) At one point during the summer, Living Hope CSA did email all its members to say sorry about the quality of vegetables since the weather has been hot, but I think it would have been nice if they offered credit back or a discount for future farm shares. One thing I like about this CSA is that you can pick from a list of what you will be receiving each week. (The other CSA I am comparing to does not let you pick each week.) Unfortunately, by giving the option of choice, sometimes they run out of the popular items and you get a random item instead. That's okay, but sometimes you will receive out of season vegetables. For example, I received potatoes in the middle of summer (tiny potatoes in a tiny portion). I did order potatoes later in the fall though, and they were great. Save the cool season vegetables for the cool season!

When we first started going this was a nice affordable way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and purchase a couple of pumpkins. I do not know what has happened. These events have become overly commercial and very expensive. All of the activities now take tickets. There was a slide that cost 2 dollars. This seemed exceedingly expensive. It used to be the activities were free, but you paid for food, the pumpkins, etc. I can understand charging for a hayride which we rode, and I have to say it was very nice , relaxing and fun. Both my 15 year old and 6 year old enjoyed this hayride. There is a lot to do, and the activities are fun. However, as stated above, you will pay for everything you do or eat here. The corn maze was fun, but a bit short. The highlight was the hayride. They did have a guy playing guitar and singing country types of songs. He was quite good, and the music added to the atmosphere. The hours are 12-4 which really should be expanded to end at 5 or 6. The bottom line is we had a good time, but spent over $75 for a 2 1/2 hour visit. This is not a very good value.
