We went on a Sunday, so it was un-manned. You can self-serve, which is so cool. You can pay via Venmo or drop cash in the slot! They will even take volunteer work in exchange for produce. Prices are up on their chalkboard and they have beautiful, healthy plants, flowers and veggies. It was such a lovely experience and I'll make sure to visit every time I'm in Lansing. We took home some flowers, bok choy and tomato plants.

We come here for the salad mix, which we preorder online. You can also preorder bread from Stone Circle. Check ahead about hours for walk in. Now that I think of it, that might be a long walk. Plan to take your car. Again, I can't swear to it, but my guess is that if you are in the market for swallowtails you might be advised not to take the name of this place too literally.

Gosh, I didn't know what I was missing. This is a true IYKYK! Once you have visited Horrocks, you will return for life. This is a magnificent, rustic, unique, expansive establishment that offers a cornucopia of items. From floral, to meats, cheeses, wine, speciality items, fruits, snacks, vegetables, hard-to-find items and more. There is so much more! Things that stood out even though I loved everything about this place: -the vast selection of canisters of olive oils -the vast array of different varieties of balsamic vinegars (amazing!) -house made items in every area -house made popcorn with so many flavors, so fresh. -the many, many homemade soups: probably around 20 different kinds and delicious. -a ramen bar, what? -bakery -pizzeria -exotic fruits and vegetables and regulars ones too -the wine bar: sip while you shop. -house-made sausages and cheeses -house-made jams, jellies, local honey -extensive variety of spices, herbs, flour and grains - great service, very helpful. This is a must try and truly a destination. I cannot wait to shop and browse here again!

In fairness, I could easily give it more than three stars, but I am largely comparing it to the Meridian Township Farmer's Market, which is more expansive and I prefer. In addition to the vendors, they also have live music, which is nice. If you are a student around Michigan State during the summer, this would also be very easy to get to, as it's in Valley Court Park very near to campus. I definitely enjoy this Farmer's Market and the produce is high quality, but the Meridian Township Farmer's Market is better.

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!

In the fall they have a lot of offerings on Saturdays and Sundays. You can take a hayride to pick your own pumpkin, and unlike some school field trips where my kids selected a pumpkin from ones "lain about" in a field, this was the real deal with vines attached and small to xxl to choose from. The hayride has stairs in the farm and the field, which is nice for older folks. They offer another one that goes through the woods, too. There was a corn maze that wasn't extraordinarily difficult, but was just right and fun to explore. There were some goats, a sheep, a turkey, and chickens to feed, and the kids loved a free covered hay pile play park with a tunnel and wood play structure. That got out some energy! I saw another tent where it looked like you could paint your pumpkin, but we didn't go in there. There was a cute photo spot with a bench, and I even picked up some homegrown produce that looked good and was really affordable. See pic for prices w activities. I thought this whole place was pretty affordable... At some of those farms the prices are crazy. Everyone who worked here was really nice and helpful, too! We came here after stopping for exceptional cider and donuts at Young's Orchard about 4 miles away, and it was a perfect fall family day!

Pregitzer Farm participates in the Westside Farmer's Market in front of Zingerman's Roadhouse. Our…read morerelationship with them started by purchasing their veggies at the Farmer's Market every Thursday; eventually, I would make a beeline for their stand each visit. Wade was always really helpful and personable. One Thursday, we started talking about their CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program, and he showed me their full and half share boxes. I was immediately jealous of all those families receiving their plentiful boxes each week, and I basically begged myself into the program for a half share box starting in the middle of the summer. I was completely late, and they were full, but somehow, Wade's wife Shannon felt convinced by my plea that I needed their half share box, and they let us in. And I am so glad they did! From August through September it felt like Christmas every week. On Thursdays I would pick up my box, and it was packed full of all of the veggies I love to eat. (My husband said I was like a small child at Christmas on Thursdays when I would bring the box home and take everything out immediately and revel in what I would be cooking for the next few days). The difference between this farm and many other farms is that they focus on the staples: zucchini, squash, tomatoes (many varieties), cucumbers, melon, corn, cabbage, broccoli, beets, peppers, eggplant... towards the end of the season we also got brussel sprouts, garlic, potatoes, and some herbs. This was the perfect box for us because I did not want a lot of salad greens -- I am not a huge salad eater. And I've always been a bit wary of CSA boxes for fear of getting a giant box of arugula and romaine that will go bad in my fridge. But after a season with Pregitzer, I am completely hooked on the CSA program and on their box! The half share box is really affordable, in my opinion -- $220 for the season, which works out to roughly $13 a week. For fresh, local produce -- you can't beat that. And they extended out their CSA program from what it said on their website, and I thought that was a total bonus. Half share is the perfect amount for two people. Pregitzer also hosted a number of activity days on their farm on the weekends. I never got a chance to go, but hopefully will next year. They are also open for business on their farm on the weekends and sell their produce then. Additionally, they offer egg shares (a carton a week for the duration of the CSA) for $30 and they also offer whole chickens for sale in November and December to their CSA people. If you are interested in doing a CSA box, fall and early winter is the time to do the research, pick your farm and get on their wait list. Be sure to look on their websites and see what they grow, ask what kind of veggies you will get throughout the year, and be sure it meshes with the kind of food you like to eat. Ask one of their CSA'ers about their program too, if possible.
