It's a great deal compared to what we pay at our farmers market and I found their batch to be more thoughtful- no green ones, minimal leaves, and not many I had to toss. That's a win in my book. Their blueberries were also juicy, firm, and tart. The best we've had and I believe was their Elliott variety. We also purchased their blackberries, the best purple plums we've ever had, some small yellow plums, and two jars of Queens jam for gifting (which we were told is loved by them!). Back to those plums though...do not skip! All in all the price was fair and wound up to about $31. We would definitely stop again on the way up from Chicago if we're early enough but definitely on the way back from metro Detroit. The staff was also helpful in choosing the best fruits. We were not let down!

I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for yummy donuts, fresh produce and local products.

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.

They also have events at their farm-- concerts where they sell hard ciders with a sandwich, to puppy happy hour, to story time for kids... they're definitely a special place. The property is so well kept and clean throughout-- they make it a no brainer to come back! And for the love of everything, grab their homemade donuts.

I honestly felt like I walked through a wardrobe into a Narnia world. The small sign at the drive was a bit tough to see, so as your map tells you you're close, slow down and look for the Bed and Breakfast sign. The vibe here is full on beautiful Pinterest, French countryside garden chateau. Everywhere you look there is something beautiful to see, from the outdoor pavilion to the stately rooms inside. The ivy covered buildings and gardens bursting with blooms are great backdrops for any photos. The wedding I attended was on a super hot, sunny June day, but there were plenty of amenities provided to guests to alleviate the heat: shade parasols, handheld electric fans, folding fans, and plenty of cold water. This was such a thoughtful touch and really helped make guests comfortable. The mansion in the background was a stunning view for the short but sweet ceremony. Once the ceremony concluded, we were greeted by staff members with water and wine and were directed to a courtyard for hors d'oeuvres and an outdoor bar. There were areas of shade from trees and umbrellas, which was a nice reprieve from the sun. The food was all perfectly arranged and the bacon wrapped date I had was a delicious sweet and savory bite! Molly and Jenn were pouring drinks with big smiles despite the heat. We were ushered into the main reception area -- a beautiful, airy, open pavilion -- by a tinkling dinner bell! Dinner was delicious and all staff members I interacted with were incredibly polite and professional. I was really blown away by the details and care put into this celebration at this amazing venue! Hopefully I can attend another wedding there someday. If you need a beautiful place to get married, look no further than Greencrest Manor.

All the employees were very helpful, paricularly the bearded fellow working the taps on the second floor. My wife and I shared a flight of ciders. They were all tasty, but our favorite was the cherry. We then each had on beer - both tasty. For food, the table shared pretzel bites and cheese curds. The curds were the real standout! Then we shared a veggie pizza with ham. Our kids each had the kids pizzas - one pepperoni and one meal lovers. All the pizzas were good, but the kids crust really excelled due to its fluffiness. Afterwards, we picked half a dozen donuts. Everyone enjoyed them - me choosing the raspberry jelly donut. Yum! Grounds are nice, lots of parking. Seems like they have concerts sometimes, as we saw advertisements for them. We had a great time!
