I sent several emails asking them how to purchase tickets, because their website links did not work. But I never received a response, so I wasn't sure this place was real. I couldn't find a phone number for them either. I had to keep checking their instagram for information. If you want to go, you don't need to make a reservation just show up. You pay by the size of the bag you want, and they're a cash only establishment. They also have their own parking that's free. The farm is only open a few weekends per season, so you have to stay on top of it if you want to visit. It's a fun and unique activity for the family, and the kiwis were delicious.

They…read morealso have the sunflower festival in which you can catch the tractor/ hay ride to cut out some flowers. I don't particularly like this area because it's always so many bees and also slim picking depending on when you go. Beyond that they have several activities for kids to do and you could stay for hours with different photo ops, the petting zoo, the big bounce area, the zip line, tug of war, the goat race and many more. They even have fireworks on select nights. The place is pretty big and we can never finish everything in one day because it's a lot of walking lol. Nevertheless it's well worth the money , customer service is good, and it is a lot to do. I would recommend taking better care of the petting zoo because it really wasn't kept as well as I would've liked it to be. Side note: There was an incident in which an elderly woman fell while I was there. I would like to commend the staff for how much care and support they gave her to make sure she was OK.

Fun day out in beautiful almost fall weather!…read more My friend and I came for their Teacher Appreciation Weekend event. The general admission charge was waived for teachers and one guest. That was quite generous! Parking was easy and plentiful. Included in the freebies was six pick your own blooms from their sunflower field or zinnia patch. The farm is filled with activities for kids to explore such as jumping pillows, mega slides, rope mazes, and flying pig zip lines to names a few. There are other things adults can partake in such as the corn maze (short and long paths), corn hole, and of course the wagon ride to the pumpkin patch (not ready when we were there) and the sunflower fields. We didn't eat, but there's a barnyard grill, pizza, kettle corn and apple cider donuts for sale. We missed the scheduled pig races. It was a fun day in the sun.

During strawberry season - still ongoing as of this review - they offer online reservations for u-pick strawberries in their fields (secondary u-pick location at Oatlands) as well as pre-picked buckets of berries for sale. There is a shop at the home farm offering baked goods, preserves and every other item you can make with strawberries. We purchased a pre-picked bucket as well as a fabulous strawberry pie and strawberry syrup. Please note: access to the farm is partially on unpaved roads which are also narrow in places, including a 1 lane bridge.

This is cool ice cream shop where they use the milk straight from the cows on the farm. You know…read moreit's the real deal when ice cream is melting in minutes in your hand. They have a lot of unique flavors. Not a huge fan of the amount of food coloring used and some flavors do taste a little artificial or a bit too sweet for my adult taste buds. But the staff were nice in explaining what was in each flavor, double checking for allergies, and providing us samples. Their smallest size was $3.50 when I went this month which is decent. I like that they are flexible with the amount of flavors you can mix as long as it fits in the cup. Located in the midst of a farm you can cross the road to pet some cows making it a fun excursion with kids. Of course that also means that if you were to eat the ice cream outside, you will be greeted with the smell of manure and there really isn't any space inside to eat.

Although it…read morerained that day, the kids still had so much fun, it made it where we had the whole place to ourselves (which was a perk! Thank you rain! Haha). I found the rental to be affordable for all they provide; a blank room to decorate how ever you please, 15 kid bands for the petting zoo, 2hrs in the barn, tables, chairs, a private show and tell, and access to the whole barnyard. We payed extra for the petting zoo food. The staff is also so great at communicating thought email and phone. They were very patient with me and answered all my questions. I will be coming back here with my son to explore more of the barnyard on a sunny day and will most likely book any future birthday parties here!

Green Truck Farm did not disappoint! We were greeted by rows and rows of black raspberries, which I had never experienced before, but taste like a more flavor-packed version of raspberries. After we had our fill of black raspberries, we walked over to the blueberries and picked our hearts out. Advice: -Black raspberries tend to sell out first so start there if you're planning to pick at both places. -Subscribe to Green Truck Farm on Facebook for the latest updates about ripeness. -Visit their cousins down the road at Hartland Orchard for other fruit (cherries, peaches, apples).

We went the last week of May and there were still hundreds of strawberries to pick from! When you first enter the orchard/farm they give you a box that contains 6 of the strawberry holders. When we went in May 2021, they were around $4.99/lb. You have rows and rows of strawberries to pick from that are spread out nicely enough that it was easy to avoid people who didn't wear masks. The process was easy and the strawberries were delicious! My family and I demolished 6 boxes in less than a week.
