They have a tremendous variety. I live in a retirement community and buy half-bushel every week to share with others with whom I live. Fun thing for me to do and my neighbors love the apples too. Some have even started going to Wells themselves. I also buy farm raised eggs there. They often resell excellent cider from top farm cideries. Their jams and jellies are great. Friendly people.

I ordered a pumpkin cappuccino and felt they could've done a better job of topping off the drink. The same issue with my nacho cheese ordered for the pretzel; also the cheese was liquidier than I'm used to. I wouldn't recommend their pretzel or cheese. Activities they had for kids were fun, even for adults like gourd sling shot and rubber duck racing. Corn maze was a good time, kids are given an activity sheet to complete for a prize after completing the maze. 4 1/2 stars overall

Follow the signs to the main pumpkin patch and peruse the grounds till you find your favorite pumpkin, butternut squash, delicata squash, and more! These are the most unique pumpkins I have ever seen and I wish I lived closer to visit more often. Hours are listed 8-5pm on google because 'dawn to dusk everyday' isn't an option. But stop by anytime before dusk before it's all gone. Though Scholl's Farm is not certified organic yet, I can vouch for the organic practices used. What a relief to find an organic pick-your-own farm! We were fortunate to meet Stu, the 2nd generation farmer who runs the place with Connie. He explained to us everything he does and answered all my questions, sharing lovely stories of his parents who met at our cabins (Double JJ resort). We even got to see the newborn lambs up close. He even sold me some fresh chopped wood for a steal that I can't wait to use in our wedding as props. He is such a personable character that spending more time expected at his farm was not anticipated but definitely cherished. Can't wait to come back soon!

Group # - 12 Purpose…read more- Family Tradition Pros - Gene's is a place you can spend quality time with the family for about 15-20 minutes. Not a lot has changed since we started to go over 12 years ago. Cons - It's becoming an outdated Farm, as weird as it is to say that. The upkeep has been on the decline - this place could be a gold mine for the fall season if done right and with a little bit of marketing; but, I don't see that turning around anytime soon. If it wasn't a family tradition we wouldn't probably give it a go anymore. Likelihood to return (1-10) - 3 Reason - Pumpkin cost is up there. Nothing is ever new or exciting to see. Back in the day you could pet the animals that came ip to the fence - those are even going away.

We stumbled on this spot via TripAdvisor and thought it would be worth a stop from some of the…read morepictures we saw. I gotta say that while there are few people you will meet in this lifetime that you encounter briefly and leave a lasting impression on you, we had the opportunity to meet Gene the pumpkin man himself. Let me say that Gene is one of those guys you'll meet and never forget. A very charismatic fella, 80 years young, rocking an orange shirt and orange cowboy hat to go along with his orange themed farm, and he's been slangin' pumpkins since 1957. Eager to talk and get to know you a bit and even shares many stories from his lifetime. It's easy to see why he's a local favorite. Plenty of pumpkins to choose from and in all shapes and sizes. Everything is marked pretty clearly on price as well. I even noticed a small booth where they sell fresh honey! Cool! Note that they only take cash or checks (no credit cards) but Gene also seems to use the honor system as well where you can pay later on if you like. While we appreciated the gesture, we ended up purchasing two mini pumpkins with the little cash we did have. Gene finding out we had drove to see his farm from Chicago ended up picking out a bag full of assorted squash for us to take home and enjoy. And of course, some verbal instruction on how to prepare each one. After spending some time talking with him, he even gave us some local spots worth checking out nearby. What a guy! Nothing but good things to say about Gene and his pumpkin patch. Definitely worth a stop to see Gene and his orange themed farm if you find yourself in Kalamazoo! 'Til next time, cheers! 251/365

The corn maze is giant it took us about 20 minutes to complete. The owners are super friendly:) They told us they want to keep their farm more authentic and less commercial and they definitely succeeded in that! It's a very wholesome and family friendly experience. Definitely affordable as well! The pumpkin selection was low however that is to be expected so close to Halloween! The pumpkins are right on the vines so it's a true pumpkin patch experience:) Cider was good, unfortunately they don't make their own doughnuts due to licensing for the kitchen but they do purchase from another farm and have them shipped. Overall such a fun family fall experience, Would definitely love to come back yearly!

Loved this spot! It's a classic Michigan blueberry farm but what sets it above some U-Pick spots to…read moreme is how easy and close everything is. Right when you park, you'll see a large area to buy goodies (pies, cookies, produce), you'll see animals to pet, and then blueberries to pick. We went in late July and the berries were abundant (and delicious). We definitely tried our way through some favorites and then picked entirely too many. We ended up eating most and adding tons to blueberry pancakes over our vacation weekend in South Haven. Can't remember the exact prices but cheaper than I've paid for berries all summer, I know that much. And we ALWAYS have blueberries in the house. Also loved the super sweet blueberry lemon sugar cookie that they had in their shop, and felt welcome by the friendly staff. Lastly, speaking to how close everything is both on the farm and off; this is quite close to downtown South Haven when driving, but still feels way out in the country. It's a perfect combo, IMO, and we'd come back again and again if we lived near here.

When we arrived today we were pretty bummed that bumbleberry changed how they run the farm. We used to be able to give everyone a bucket and then the blueberries would be weighed and we would take them home. Now, be prepared to pay 12 dollars a bucket(you get to keep it). It's not the same experience when you are walking to the fields and the entire family needs to share a single bucket. We also adored the low key barrel ride. I believe it was about 5 dollars a ticket in the past. Now, you must pay 12 dollars per child plus 5 dollars per adult to watch your child play and go on a barrel ride. The petting zoo, bumbleberry chair, tire castle, everything is gated off. We passed and noticed most families did the same. This would have cost our crew 45 dollars for one ride (two toddlers, 4 adults). What was once a quaint family farm now feels off. We will be picking somewhere else next year.

Late summer, they have blueberries, peaches, apricots and many more! I have been here twice and enjoyed a lot both times. The staff is very friendly. Once you pick the fruits, you pay for them by weight. They have a small truck to take you to the farm and they keep coming back every 15 mins to pick you up too. They also have some cute farm animals. They have a lot of farm to table stuff for sale. We bought some pasta sauce from their farm grown peppers and it was delicious. We also tried their apple cider slushie. I will keep coming back!

My children were really excited for this, since it was supposed to be the highlight of the day. When we went to get them, the bins were already empty. No effort was made to refill them, even though we were at the very farm where the pumpkins were grown. Instead, staff only pointed people toward pumpkins for purchase, and the boxes for the free pumpkins were taken down well before the event was over. The event promised a free pumpkin for everyone, yet the farm clearly did not supply enough or make any attempt to ensure all guests received what was advertised. Families should not have to explain to their children why something guaranteed to every attendee was simply unavailable. If Landscape Forms paid for the pumpkin add on for the event, then they should be refunded because it was not fully honored. This was very disappointing and left a negative impression of the farm.
