We went to their Lavender in Lights event, and had a great time! They allow dogs (which I always…read morelove!), had a free coffee and hot chocolate station, and lots of good photo stops! The lights and farm itself seem very small, but they packed in a lot of photo ops and play stations. They had a soccer goal, basketball hoop, and "snow". The little shop was also open during the event, and had a good and surprisingly affordable selection of lavender products. I tried the huckleberry lavender lemonade and honey lavender taffy, both were excellent. The even itself was also free, so even though it was small, it was worth it, and a great way to get into the holiday spirit! I would recommend them to anyone in the area.

Open Friday, Saturday and Sunday Cost: Free but donations…read moreare taken and appreciated. Parking: Adequate but if it's really busy, I could see the lot filling up. Overflow parking available street-side. Bathrooms: Yes in a bathroom trailer like the ones at fairs. It was clean and better than a port-a-potty Food: Some candy and cookies in the gift shop, but that is it. Sometimes ice cream. Drink: Free coffee and cocoa with their two keurigs. Payment methods: The have square for credit card purchases in their gift shop. But bring cash for the donation box if you plan to get coffee, unless you're a freeloader. Customer Service: Excellent, they were friendly when I bought my son a ginger bread cookie. Dog friendly: Yes, bring poop bags and a leash though. My wife found this place and brought me and our 3 year old son to it tonight. It was wonderful. Kind of dreamy if you will. Check out my videos, I captured the moment pretty well while also being playful/funny in a couple. There is a cool fire pit you can sit around and drink the cocoa and coffee. The farm had a trail that loops around the property. Beginning of the trail has a christmas light decorated soccer goal with lights. Then a big chair for pictures, followed by a bubble machine. The whole farm is light up like a christmas light village. Very pretty. Come around to the other side of the property and find a cool fake snow machine and a basketball hoop. Then a chicken coup on display for the littles. They also have a tractor the kids can sit on and take pictures with that lights up. And a dog that you can play fetch with. But the dog is in a yard you walk up to. Set up on purpose like that. The dog knows his/her role and is a great employee, loving everyone that comes by and throws the ball. Very neat place! Hope you like my pictures and videos, I tried my best to capture the whole place. Felt majestic.

Wandering the beautiful, historic grounds feels like stepping into a peaceful country estate rather than a standard garden shop.

I got a Groupon for the hedge maze at Lenning Farms and was very excited. I visited on a Sunday…read moremorning pretty early and was the only one there. My Groupon suggested to call ahead and make a reservation, which wasn't a problem at all. The person at the Berry Barn where you check in was very friendly and informative. The maze itself went by fairly quickly, but it was fun to have an interactive trivia aspect to it. I also enjoyed a raised platform at the center to see over the whole maze. It was a lot of fun, and a family-friendly activity you can do in an hour or two.

Have you ever seen a miniature donkey up close? I hadn't and that's exactly why we made a quick pit…read morestop at JF Miniature Donkeys before diving into the tulip festivities. Now, to be clear, this isn't some official petting zoo or farm tour it's more like a local gem hidden in plain sight. The owners must know their donkeys are the stars of the area because they made a small parking area behind one of the nearby buildings with a sign marked parking with a donkey icon. Visitors come and go, snapping photos and saying hi to these little four-legged celebrities. When we arrived, a few of the donkeys trotted right up to greet us clearly veterans at charming visitors. They seemed to expect treats or maybe just wanted attention and each one had a bit of personality. We brought our dogs along and, surprisingly, everyone got along just fine. While I personally wouldn't recommend petting them (always better safe than sorry) others were giving gentle scritches and the donkeys didn't seem to mind. If you're en route to the tulip fields and want to add a smile-worthy memory to your day, this unexpected donkey stop is 100% worth it especially if you have kids, animal lovers, or just need a quick serotonin boost.

This was one of my impromptu stops- I had seen the signs last time I was out here, but they were…read moreclosed for the season, so I was thrilled to stop in. We entered from the door closest to the road and found the ice cream! The boys were saying on the drive around the island that they could go for ice cream & viola! We sampled a few- Eddie got rocky road, Robert had the chocolate truffle (very good)- but John and I discovered oatmeal chocolate chip ice cream! Neither of us had ever had this flavor and we loved it! I explored the shop and settled at the other end of the barn in cooshy seats. Our boys were sprawled out closed to the end- the indoor (indoor for a barn) seating was spacious and plentiful. Outside there is a courtyard with strung lights and tables one direction, crops straight out & a family play area beyond the parking. What kind of play area??? One I discovered when I bought feed for their goat!!! Walk across this little bridge and you come to a bubble wand station with huge buckets of soapy water to dip! Then several hand pump- rubber ducky races! The rain gutters sloped down and back, 4 pumps and a water tub below- grab a ducky and pump!!! I raced Robert.... twice.... and beat him both times, bwahahahahaaaaa! Awwww, poor baby- he's 26, don't feel bad. Eddie sat and observed & John judged us and laughed at us. And feeding the goat was fun, she wanted pets and lovin before she would eat from your hand! Smart cookie. The farm also had honey, kettle corn, meats, fruits & veggies, kids items, jewelry and more! It looked like the other building could be set up as a market too. It's real close to the boys house, I know they will be stopping back! I will, next time I visit!
