We got to…read morehand-pour beeswax candles and fill a honey bear with fresh, raw, unfiltered honey--such a fun, hands-on activity that even my teenager and her friend loved. Kelley was fantastic, sharing her knowledge of sustainable beekeeping and the care that goes into producing pure, organic honey straight from the hive. The farm gift shop was stocked with incredible raw, unprocessed honey, honeycomb, and beeswax products--we left with plenty! We're so excited to come back this summer for the Honey House Tour, Beehive Tour, Forestry Tour, and Queen Special Tour! Getting to work a live beehive with a beekeeper and see the honey extraction process will be unforgettable. If you're looking for the best raw, organic honey in Indiana and a truly unique farm experience, Hunter's Honey Farm is a must-visit!

One of our new favorite traditions is cutting down our tree at Hunter's Honey Farm! This year we…read moreactually went out and tagged it when it was warm and then went back on Wednesday to cut it down. So many cool things about that experience... 1) I used a chainsaw for the first time and now I want to cut down all the trees! 2) We put something that wouldn't fit in our car in our relatively new truck bed... it was sooooo big! 3) While I was there, I bought several jars of their honey (again)! They have completely embraced the "hot honey" trend and are making some amazing honeys that are perfect for a nice "drizzle" on pizza, a Christmas ham or even as a sweetener in your green beans or spaghetti sauce! Their service is fantastic and you're even able to taste a few before buying! Go see them for gift baskets or to join their "honey (not jelly) of the month club" #iykyk

The friendliest staff ever! Very knowledgeable about the wines and was able to direct us to which…read moreones we should try based on our tastes. She gave us great directions on where to walk around the ranch so we could see some of the animals and the birdd. I chose to have a glass of the pawpaw wine which was very refreshing and we took our wines out and walked around the lavender fields and saw some of the yaks, but they were pretty far out. We also got to see the sheep and the pigs which were very friendly and adorable. We saw the nest for the purple martins and walked around the pond. They also had a food truck which my friend ordered a small charcuterie board from and we took inside to enjoy because it was pretty humid outside. There also some gifts along with yak yarn and alpaca yarn that you can purchase. This place was amazing to visit and I'm so excited that we got to check something out that was really not that far from us. A definite must do.

No yak milk (booo!), but there is wine. However, I must warn all of the people who prefer dry wine:…read moreThere is no dry wine here. It's all sweet. Even the driest of the wines, the Cabernet Sauvignon, is very sweet. So, if you love sweet wines, this place is for you! Right now, they are only pouring a Cabernet, a red blend, a Riesling and a sweet Rose. The grapes are imported, but Woolley Yak has their own vineyard, and the intention is that they will soon start producing wine from their own grapes. You can get a flight of wine, or a glass of wine, or a mimosa, and then you can take your wine outside with you as you explore the grounds. There are picnic benches here and there. There's also a food truck that sells four different types of grilled cheese sandwiches and handheld charcuterie cups. I think food is only available Friday through Sunday, though. I visited with children (well, a teen and an almost tween), but they are a good hang and will play on a playground with the best of them, so we headed straight for the nature play space. The playground was designed to encourage kids to engage in unstructured play, so it has a lot of natural elements all around, like tree stumps, hay bales and logs. My kids are "co-op kids" for life (their early years were spent at a nature-based cooperative preschool), so they thrive with this type of playground. There's also a tire mound to climb, a balance beam to balance on, and a basketball shooting station made from a grain wagon. There's lots of space to run around, and a few trees to climb, too. The big draw of Woolly Yak is the yaks! There are also Babydoll Southdown sheep, Kunekune pigs and chickens that live on the ranch. You can just sit on a bench and watch these animals do their things in their living spaces. Or, if you want a more up-close experience, you can purchase a ticket to one of the animal experiences, like storytime with sheep or tea with lambs. You can also experience brushing the yaks and giving them treats. If you didn't want to do any of those experiences, though, you could just visit the ranch to see the animals for free! There is no admission to enter the ranch or to park. It's a nice place to visit to stroll around and see what you can see.

First time at Athenaeum Christmas market and we had fun!…read more The best about it was it wasn't as crowded as Carmel. It is not expansive as Carmel but we still enjoyed the experience. I loved the cute mug, and the hot cider was great. I especially liked the food from Rathskeller- I highly recommend the brat n kraut balls- they were delicious. There was live music which I enjoyed a lot.

Our first visit here was enchanting. Looks like it's the third year that the Athenaeum…read moreChristkindlmarkt made it's way to town. Went on a Saturday. Parked in the parking garage next to the Athenaeum with a parking app for a reasonable price and spent hours in the area. Had lunch at The Rathskeller and came back to visit the market for snacks and mulled wine/ciders/drafts. The treats included the raclette sandwich, bacon lollipop, German potato pancakes (Kartoffelpuffer), Brauhaus pretzel, German bratwurst, schnitzel, gingerbread cookies, baked goods. The process for picking up food orders could be improved upon. Told to come back in 20 minutes and came back but the server appeared confused when we told him our order, then said wasn't ready yet, saw other people who ordered after us get their orders, and eventually after a couple more inquiries received our order. A pager system or a number/now serving screen would be useful way to communicate ready orders. Took home a cute collector mug and got to drink my tasty mulled cider from it while there. If I had decided to get another drink, it would be $1 less for subsequent fills. It was entertaining to watch the costumed characters tease the children and guests and the various performers cross the stage. There were a couple of artisan stalls to peruse as well. Really appreciated the heat lamps scattered throughout the area as this season was chiller than usual. It's a brief stop that brings the holiday spirit!

Everything is preference of course however their wine didn't favor ours. We tried a Dry Rose and cabernet sauvignon we were more a fan of the Cab Sav.

Spencer Farm Winery is a small local winery in Noblesville, Indiana. The tasting and retail space…read moreis a renovated farm house located on Spencer Farm property. The farm house is accessible by a gently sloping ramp flanked by living grape vines. The tasting room is small, clean and cozy. Seating extends to a covered wrap around porch and welcoming lawn seating. Handicapped parking is staged near farm house entrance. Parking is free. The grounds are beautifully planted and cared for. The selection of wine ranges from dry reds, dry whites, roses, semi sweets, and sweets. At this time, there is a non-alcoholic Pinot Grigio available. Some snacks, prepackaged sandwiches, and cheese boards are available for purchase. Cheese boards are somewhat expensive because the meats are locally sourced from Smoking Goose and cheeses are more premium. Customers are welcome to bring their own picnics and snacks. No outside alcohol is permitted. On summer weekends, live music is often scheduled. Sitting in pleasant surroundings with a nice picnic and cold bottle of wine is a great way to unwind. Food trucks are often on site offering a varying selection on those weekends. The farm store is on the property. It's currently strawberry season in Indiana. Spencer's lets you pick your own or purchase pre picked berries as available. Baked goods, ice cream, fudge, and cold drinks are among items available.

We went with a large group, my husband, his daughters, their hubbys, co-workers etc. and took up two tables about 20 people. They serve alcohol both mixed drinks and beers, and they don't except credit cards but there is an atm in the lobby. We laughed a lot. The meals were pretty good they served chicken marsala and they also had a vegan dish too. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and you have to be at least 18.

The table we were at was amazing! We did not know them but got to know them throughout the night. They were hilarious and fun company. Food wasn't too great. I would give it a 2/5 stars. It was okay but not super flavorful. I did enjoy the Cesar salad and the carrot cake. I got these tickets as a birthday present and I thought it was a great gift! Not something I would buy for myself but it was SO MUCH FUN!

ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITES FOR AMERICAN FOOD NEAR MASS AVE…read more Union 50 came in clutch when my friends and I were looking for a last minute dinner reservation. Called at 6 and got a reservation for 8, for 5 of us on a Saturday night. This is kind of an anomaly for any restaurants off Mass Ave. We were seated right away and started with drinks and apps. We got "Disco Boys" and "I'm too pretty for this" cocktails which were tasty - kudos for the fun cocktail names. Calamari, Artisan, and Charcuterie came shortly after. There's a few different options of cheeses and meats, it's sort of a choose your own adventure situation. All were good, especially the calamari. A lot of restaurants tend to overcook it and the calamari gets rubbery, not the case here. Our entrees came out next and I made sure to try a bite of everyone's LOL. The standout of all the entrees was definitely the "Duck, duck" which was, obviously, duck. The runner up would definitely have to be the chicken cacciatore. Overall, really great ambiance, food, and service. I would highly recommend Union 50 if you're looking for something fancy, but not too fancy. If you're a Cunningham member, don't forget to give your phone # to the server to look up your account. Will definitely be back soon!

We were there for a Indy film fest ... several films showing and hard to choose which one to watch tonight. Since our films were starting a bit later we decided to enjoy some adult beverages and a little snack. There were 20 beers available on tap including Ash and Elm seasonal cider(delicious by the way). Decided on a quick pizza slice... and this one was delicious (probably because it was drizzled with hot honey). The thin crust isn't always my favorite but this one was tasty and had a perfect amount of chewiness(not crunchy) . The movie theater we were in was relatively small and very comfy. Had nice cup holders and rocking chairs. Can't wait to see another show!

What I liked about Kan Kan was the ease of ordering tickets and the communication I received prior about arriving early and parking options. Thankfully, we did arrive early and found street parking near the entrance. We grabbed two available seats at the bar waited... and I mean waited... for service. We didn't need a full mean, so we didn't bother with the pizza option, although we both love king Dough! We did however order snacks from concession and the prices were all very reasonable and the popcorn was delicious. The seating in the theater was comfortable and general admission. Overall we had a great time.
