Great service, fun atmosphere, fair prices!…read more We went to the pumpkin farm a few weeks ago. We arrived at 4:30 pm only to find out they closed at 5pm instead of 7 pm as the Google listing showed. The person working the stand was so friendly and accommodating. She said we were still welcome to walk around and try everything out, so we did. It was pouring rain and we ran around to all the activities - the pedal cart track, the corn maze, pumpkins bowling, the fishing pool, tic-tac-toe, and the lasso challenge - in 30 minutes and had a blast. We were the only ones there and it was way worth the $4 entry fee. We also bought some pumpkins on the way out. We appreciate the fun experience and the great attitude of the woman working the stand. We will definitely return another year! *The Pumpkin farm is opened until 5 pm and then there are night festivities starting at 7pm.

Our favorite place to get a tree each year. We usually go the weekend after Thanksgiving and have…read morealways been able to find something (though this year we settled for something much smaller, and still somehow more expensive than last year). Buffalo Bill's offers the option to explore and cut your own tree, or grab a pre-cut tree from a display area. They provide saws and sleds for cutting things down and transporting them, and the shaker which gets rid of all the loose needles, and they tie the tree up nicely. Workers are always super friendly (is it possible to be cranky when you work at a Christmas tree farm?). I love that you can walk around so many different areas of the farm and take photos and explore the trees. They have a small fire pit for warming up, and some playground equipment for the kids. There are tons of Christmas-y inflatables and cut-outs, and Santa is usually there. Lots of photo opportunities! In the trailer kids can grab cookies & hot cocoa or cider and also make a pinecone + glitter ornament. We skipped that part this year because of COVID and how crowded it was, but we've always enjoyed that in years past. You can also get natural wreaths and other greenery, and sometimes they've got fundraisers going on with food for sale like brats and such. We're regulars and will be back again next year!

Date of visit: October 21, 2023…read more I did a fair amount of research on corn mazes; my mom said she wanted to do one and since this was her first--and likely only--corn maze, I wanted to make sure I found a good one. Schuett Farms did not disappoint! The price was good ($8, and they aren't cash only!), the staff was friendly, and the mini donuts were outstanding! We were all pleasantly surprised at how affordable everything here was, I appreciated that they were trying to keep things economical for families. The maze was quite challenging, with 10 checkpoints (we only found half of them) and miles of corn to navigate through. I do wish they had staff inside the maze helping ensure people did not trample the corn and it would be nice if they had some trash cans inside to help with the trash that garbage people left inside the maze. Another disappointment: There was an option to "play" on your phone but someone forgot to pay for the QR code and that portion of the game was not operational. Technology is great, but if you don't follow through, it ends up being worse than not having it at all.

Ok, so we were those parents with our tiny tot acting like the whole pumpkin farm was our personal…read morephoto shoot. But, it was so fun and such a great farm! For the fall, they have a hayride, corn maze, gourd launching (yes!), pick your own pumpkins, pick out your own pumpkins, caramel corn, cider, etc. Everything it should be for family fun day. The selection of squashes/gourds/pumpkins really impressed me. I'm certainly not a connoisseur, but they had pumpkins ranging from golf ball sized to approximately 300 pounds (not an exaggeration), all kinds of eating squashes, and piles of decorating gourds. They even had hay bales in both regular and mini sizes so you could really up your fall decorating game. The farm was surprisingly clean for being an actual farm, and everyone was friendly. There are wagons, but they are basically all always in use, so bring your own! I'm really excited to come back next year when tiny tot can walk!

I really liked this place. You can tell the care of the family who owns it is really there! We were…read moretalkingI'm sure the owners and they gave us a really nice overview of how the place worked and how the apple picking would go along with all the different spots and places that we should check out. The whole front area is kind of like a cool DIY play area. There's a basketball hoop, there's an area where kids can smack on different sounding metal objects. There's a corn feed area where there's little diggers and scoop trucks to play with that. You can meet the farm chickens and they sometimes event host events (we went during a popcorn time which was super cool to try different popcorn seeds as well as spiced popcorn with plenty of variety!) There is an area where you can pay to slingshot apples at a target in the middle of a field. There's a corn maze that we weren't brave enough to go in and the apple picking was really great. We selected a larger bag we stuffed it to the brim and we definitely had enough apples to Last us for weeks and my husband made an apple pie. We will definitely come back next season!

So many of the places I used to pick apples from in fall are closed, so wanting some apples I did a…read morebunch of research and settled on Old Homestead. The property is attractive and has stuff for kids to do. They have a couple different stores along with their orchards. I didn't really spend much time in the stores and was a bit surprised by the prices for apple picking. But I will say they had really nice empire apples and I got mostly those. They have others too but they were mostly picked over already as the empires had just at been opened up for picking. Mostly I was happy to get out to Wisconsin away from the boring Chicago Southwest suburbs, into less populated areas. I made a pie with some of the apples and it was really good. I would probably come back.

I've been going to the Waukesha Farmer's market for years now, and I always have a nice time…read more But most importantly...BRING CASH! Only a handful of vendors accept credit cards or Apple Pay. It's probably a good idea to bring at least $20.00 if you plan on stocking up on produce. The produce is always so fresh and flavorful. I'd highly recommend getting some sugar snap peas when the summer season rolls around. They are so sweet and crunchy. I've also bought many other things like cheese curds, honey, maple syrup, flowers, and baked goods. Everything is such great quality. Parking can be difficult to find, so I'd recommend going to the farmer's market right when it opens. You'll also get better pick of the produce if you head there right at 8:00 a.m. The farmers market was located along the river years ago and I wish they still held it there. The parking lot that it is currently held in can get a little cramped. You're also ushered clockwise around the loop, so you can't really go back to a booth without making another whole lap.

They have acres of produce that they've been growing with an expertise that's impressive. Our group helped with weeding since it was too early in the year to do much else. It had rained the day before but most of the fields we worked in were dry. The last one was not. Definitely pack a spare pair of shoes for the drive home. They do offer bottled water if you don't bring your own and gloves/tools. The staff is super friendly and thanks the group profusely for our hard work. If you're here during the summer, you can stop at the Franklin beer garden down the road for refreshments afterwards.

It's about 75 acres of land that consists of planted plots, fruit bearing trees, fishery, somewhere there are goats and even a park area. They need people, volunteers, to help with the harvesting or gardening, etc. A nice sized group of people can really accomplish a lot for them and for those who need this food. I personally feel that no one should be hungry in this rich country of ours. And I love the fact they grow it - as you know many people on a limited income are cost conscious and the cheaper food is the stuff that comes in a tin can, box, or cellophane and is highly processed! From the ground?! Now this is how you feed the hungry. Our shift was about 3 hours and it's hard work. That may not seem long but the effort you put in - wow I just can't imagine the people who did this for a living all day for most of their lives. We are so dang lucky, y'all. Anyways, please check it out if looking for someplace to volunteer and if you are not averse to some outside work. It feels great having done it! Things to consider: - bringing an extra change of socks/shoes - towel if rainy/wet - baseball capping it - layers, layers, layers! You can always take off but it sucks if you can't add on - sunblock If looking for a spot to eat and/or get a drink after volunteering, The Hideaway is just south on 76th street, is casual and has great food and great staff!

The South Milwaukee market also has weekly live music on a new stage and other special events, as well as a nice picnic table seating area where you can enjoy a fresh-made dinner. Check it out!

I also got some all natural skin lotions from the goat milk lady and some body butter from the honey vendor. I am going back for more to last me through the winter. Many more, too many to mention.
