There were a variety of decent size apples. It was well worth the drive for me. The staff was very helpful and cheerful. As I was driving along the roads. I drove passed larger apple pickings. But I was happy and impressed with my decision to come here. It was easy to get inside pick your apples and head home. There is also a kiosk stand for you to purchase some tasty goodies. Decent prices. The apple cider donuts were amazing. I really enjoyed my visit.

This was my first time going apple picking. I've heard about it which made me interested, curious,…read moreand excited all at the same time. We picked Cody's farm because there wasn't an entry fee, it wasn't too far, and someone picked up the phone when I called to answer all my questions. You purchase an empty bag for picking apples before starting. A bag costs $30 and holds ~ 30 pounds according to them which works out to $3 a pound. The weather was nice and it was plenty of apple trees to pick from. There were only a couple of other people picking apples while we were there. I imagined these huge trees with apples high up to reach for, but all the trees were around 4 to 5ft. There was several very long rows of different apple trees to walk up and down. I am now convinced to get an apple tree for my back yard since the size isn't huge. The farm had play areas and activities for children so it is a cool place to bring the kids. We hit the store and I bought apple cider donuts that just happened to be really delicious. Most of the produce and products seemed to be a little pricey, but I'm thinking everything is supposed to be organic so the prices are mor. I would definitely return and bring little ones if I had any to spend a day out here.

I was going to get a caramel apple but they were $8 and not made there, prepackaged, so they did not appeal to me. Sandwiches were restaurant prices not" barn" prices so I left. I did enjoy the animals, goats, pigs, sheep and small cattle. I suppose if you have kids it's a great autumn thing to do and pick up some pumpkins and squash while there. Just seemed pricey and there was a charge for kids areas so I don't think I need to go back unless I have little ones to entertain.

*PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE DAVE IS AN ACTUAL CREEP!*…read more Our neighbors and our family had started a tradition 4 years ago to take our families here to do the hay ride and purchase pumpkins and other things from Dave's pumpkin farm. We all got pumpkins, bales of hay, straw brooms and the like. Dave has no cashier and relies on an app to pay for purchases. This night his app was not working and we told him this. We kept trying. As we left, and still trying to get on the app. We got home and started unloading. And still trying to get on the app. It was night time and a truck pulls up across the street from me and sat there. I could not see into the truck and did not know who it was. I screamed out to the driver and said, who are you are you ok? I decided to call the police because I thought maybe it was somebody drunk and pulled over or he had car problems. Well, once the police arrived we found out it was Dave! He followed us home! He said we stole 300 pumpkins, which we only had about 15-20. The police told us he has a history of doing this, following people home that he feels did not pay enough. Now I have 2 little ones with me, 6 and 7. He is telling the police he wants us arrested! The police came back over to us and said "listen this guy is weird and off his rocker, have you got the app working yet"? It was not. My wife said listen... we can Zelle him for the pumpkins since the app is not working. The police said" we doubt he has Zelle, right now he is just rambling on that he wants you guys arrested but that is not going to happen because we believe you guys". The police officer said he has a Square on his phone where it can be paid through that device. So my wife walked over with the officer to Dave's truck. The total we knew was $126. Dave said just pay $119 because he could not figure out the taxes. According to the police, Dave has a history of doing this! He ruined our tradition and our kids are upset that this happened. The whole ordeal was about 2 hours long and our night was ruined! Now our whole tradition is ruined because we will not go back there where a stalker could just show up to your house! *STAY AWAY PLEASE BECAUSE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS BEFORE AND WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN!*

We pulled into the property but we didn't see any people and were nervous to walk around to look for someone because there's no signs and no "cashier" and I didn't want to get shot on site! lol! We called the number found online and a cheery lady answered and said to come back on by and park next to her car in front of the house so we did. They're giant pumpkins and regular pumpkins, all shapes and sizes, random squash and pimply pumpkins. It was quite the selection. Each veg is marked with a sharpie and range from a buck to maybe 15.00 but that's for a super large one - think beach ball size. Most of what I got was 1-4.00 a piece. I spent 30.00 total for like 10 pumpkins and they range in size from tiny to substantial! Stop by here rather than spend a fortune elsewhere and support a local farmer.

A lot of room for groups. There's a surprising amount of space. Basic menu items to get. It's got better drinks than food to be honest. There's actually some pretty thoughtfully made up cocktails especially for seasons. Also lots of the beers. The cocktails include the classics and modern stuff. It's about $12 for the Blueberry Mule. This is Niko's Blueberry vodka, along with blueberry Puree, ginger beer and lime juice so it's pretty great stuff. As for the food it's all meaty. They even have the salads topped with bacon so it's not good for plant based people. For sure it's one of the most popular restaurants in the area. It's located on Grant Highway close to Corral Road. This is closed on Mondays to Wednesdays.
