During the tour you will see the entire harvesting process through to the "finisher" output. The sugar house is warm and friendly and is the cleanest in the area maybe even the state. They sell products as a distributor so if you want to dabble in maple syrup production yourself they are happy to help. Fair and honest is the core of what sugar bush creek farm does. Thanks for being a good Ohio maple syrup producer!!!

Howard's is popular in the Bainbridge area. The produce is seasonal. I purchased rhubarb for a pie…read moreat $5 a pound. That gave me about five cups chopped for a Rhubarb pie. Some food items are in glass refrigerators. There are lots of jars of pickles, salsas, pickled eggs and more since gardens are not producing much the first of June. I heard that strawberries came available. Howard's also has an area full of flowers of all kinds. Located near Kenston Schools, Howard's is easy to find. Look for the cute barn and flower buildings, the apple orchard and the gravel lot.

We took our grandson to Howard's this morning. While the corn mazes and variety of items to…read morepurchase in the store were great, the young woman who waited on us was not friendly or engaged. I also could not understand why the roller coaster was not available since there were a number of families with children there.

She lets you walk through the entire building to check out the old mill, which has an awesome view from the window on the top floor overlooking the grounds and the distant ski area. I left this place with a bag of Potato flour (I don't even know what I can make with this stuff but it was too awesome to not purchase!) a bag of pasta flour and two bags of pancake mix.

The clerk was rude and said that's the way they are supposed to be. You mean like sawdust? It's a shame as we have loved and frequented this place often. Will miss it. Word of advice: Don't buy the "day old" donuts. They are like sand in your hand because they are NOT always a day old.

Might have been even better if I opted to get it dipped in melted chocolate. Next time I hope to try crepes and donuts. Heard you can order the donuts a day ahead too. I'm hoping they will be offering coffee to go with the crepes in the Fall.

I visited Amish Country Market recently as I noticed they just opened. They're still under…read moreconstruction, but they're able to produce donuts, pretzels, large breakfast rolls, and other delectables. Outside, they have lawn furniture for sale. Inside, there are a bunch of Amish folks waiting to serve you. On this visit, I tasted a chicken bacon ranch breakfast roll, a hot pretzel, some strawberry cake, and maple pecan cake. By far, my favorite item was the hot pretzel. It had just a touch of sweetness to it along with the traditional salty flavor. The texture of the dough was perfect. It had the right amount of moisture, chew, and flavor. It was hot and absolutely delicious. The chicken bacon ranch roll was not balanced. It was served hot and wrapped in foil, but it was missing something, like a yummy sauce or veggie crunch. I think there was too much chicken in it, relative to the amount of other ingredients. So it felt like I was just eating a roll stuffed with chicken. While the chicken tasted good, it needed something else to balance it. The strawberry cake was just okay. I think regular strawberry cassata cake is better though. And the maple pecan cake was just meh. I'll be back to try some other items soon!

We spent a fabulous fall Saturday here as a family. After checking out lots of websites and…read morereviews, I felt this location would give us something for everyone. Toddlers are free and we used a coupon on their website for $2 off of the rest of our admissions. Right at the entry, there is a small concession stand and area to buy pumpkins. I would've loved some fall flavored pumpkin snacks, but it was more of a simple, casual selection. There are picnic tables placed throughout the grounds. I had some snacks for the littles, so it was nice to have a place to park the family. There is so much to do here! We ventured into the corn maze, let the kids play on the hay bales and slide down the slides. There is a petting zoo and they provide feed if you'd like to feed them as well. We ended the day with a hayride. It was great! Overall, the staff was friendly and the layout was well planned. I would certainly come back again with the family next year!
