There's already something magical in the air and you think that the only thing that could improve the afternoon would be a stroll through the fields of flowers and produce. So you stop. This is what I experienced while touring through town. The gardens are impressive-with all variety of vegetables and some flowers that you can collect and pay for by the bucket. All the benefit of locally grown without having the pull weeds-now that's my kind of gardening! There was also a neat area with fall decor and some of the most interesting pumpkins and gourds that I've ever seen. Staff members were kind and informative, welcoming us to the garden and explaining how things work. I'm so glad that we made the impromptu visit.

Their farm store is filled with items produced in their facilities as well as other local artisans and producers, like Tiffs Tallow (I make sure to grab a jar every time I'm in town)! The main reason I'm writing this review is because they genuinely have the best beef jerky I've ever had. They have an amazing, value-friendly supply of grass fed beef that is to absolutely die for! They also offer tours if you wanted to check out the farm and the animals they have, like Highland Cows, chickens, pigs, and even the cutest little barn kitties. Their service is amazing and every time we've visited, we have been greeted by a member of the great, local family that runs this place.

So they sell you a whole cow or they have some meats separate just for dinner and not the whole cow. The lady in the front was the sweetest kind person! Their meat was so delicious!

And they have their own local beehive! They were also selling lemonade and limeade made with their local honey and it was delicious! Must try!

It is acres and acres of things to do. My favorite thing is how spacious it all was nothing felt crowded there were plenty of slides in all the areas to play on and go w your kids. From one play area to the next three kids didn't get bored. The pig races were so cute and the bubble station was interactive. I wish they checked on the Bubble Station a lithe more often to make sure it's filled up. The kids needed a bathroom break and luckily we weren't far from it. They were impeccably clean and didn't scare the kids with bad smells. I would go back again if it was more affordable and/or offered an option for just the courtyard. I really wanted to go back on a play date with my BFF but decided against it because the price. We didn't have a chance to go on the hay ride, it seems they had only one truck going so the wait was long. We didn't want to waste time, we knew the kids would have had more fun in the courtyard. Again, I wish there was a price for just the courtyard itself, but you're obligated to pay it combo.

It was 28.65$ for one was to come with fry's, which we never received, after waiting for almost a half hour we gave up and walked away from the food. Total waste of money on the food, super bummed. Threw away both burgers, God they were nasty!!! The grand kids had a blast!! Tons to do!! Love all of those things! I would defiantly recommend for fun, just not the food ewwww!!! Nasty stuff. Kinda wish i threw a fit and got my money back on the food. Can't stress enough, please do not eat the hamburgers.

The kid who runs the train goes fast and makes it worth your money. The kids loved how bumpy it was! They also have duck racing, a corn pit, slides, games, Gaga ball and more. It's well worth the money. The only thing I would add would be that my 9 year old was really bored. Everything is geared for a younger group and it's small and he was having a rough time. They also only have porta-potty's. We love this farm though and I will be sad when my younger kids out grow it!

It's located about as far west as you can get in Farmington. Easy to find, ample parking, beautiful views of the mountains to the east. The area was mostly sprawling fields of pumpkins and we were provided with wagons to venture out into the landscape dotted with orange. Once our selections had been made, they offered a hay maze for kids, many other varieties of squash to purchase and a covered area for the cashiers and their animatronic storyteller, "Tumbleweed." Simplicity at it's best! It is a charming experience and even though you are paying more than the average price/lb for your pumpkin, all other activities are free. Make an afternoon of it and go make some old-timey memories with your loved ones.

A maze, a hay ride, a scary walk through, a zip line, hamster balls, and a corn pit! We ended up doing the hay ride, zip line, and the scary walk through. The walk through was during the day so it had no actors, but it was still thrilling! We took two 4 year olds through it, and they definitely jumped! The hay ride was really cool because every so often we would stop and get told a story about Little Bear Bottoms! In the barn, they have two hanging cats that were once alive, but now preserved from the hay! That is not something you see everyday! The employees were so nice and friendly, and always kept smiles on their faces which I loved! It made it seem like they really loved and enjoyed their jobs, which ultimately made it a better experience for us! Definitely go out and check them out if you have the chance!

We came away with a ton of pumpkins for only $27. I don't have a porch (I live in a condo), but when I do, my porch will be overtaken by Mabey pumpkins. Next year we'll have a little 6 month old to take to the pumpkin patch, and you'd better believe I am pumped for those photo ops. For this year, it was a super fun date night. They have 14 acres of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes, with small ones pulled aside into big bins you can pick out of. Grab a barrel and walk around with it, because you'll end up with more than what you thought you wanted (I can't be the only one who thinks pumpkins are so cute!). My husband being the chatty person he is struck up a conversation with the owner, who is a fourth generation farmer. He was so friendly and kind, and it made me feel happy to support a local business. I highly recommend bringing some kind of gloves or protection for your hands. Pumpkin stems are prickly! I also don't recommend wearing your cute fashion boots since you sometimes need to walk into the patch to take a look at a pumpkin; they'll get dirty. Overall, a super fun date night or family night. It wasn't too crowded, and they had lots to choose from.

There's something for everyone here, but our kids especially love it. Each season, the ranch adds new activities, and despite the growing crowds, it never feels too packed thanks to the wide-open space and plenty to do. Our kids make a beeline for the corn pits first thing--they could play there for hours! They're also big fans of the giant slide and obstacle course. As a dad, I have to say their burgers are top-notch--some of the best you'll find at any local event. Just don't wait until the end of the night like I did, or you'll be stuck in a long line. And whatever you do, don't skip the donuts! They come in cinnamon sugar and glazed, and while both are amazing, the glazed ones are my personal favorite. The hayride is always a relaxing highlight of the evening. If you plan to visit later in the day, make sure to dress warmly--it gets chilly fast once the sun goes down! It might even be nice if the ranch offered blankets for guests on those cold nights. One small suggestion for the staff: at the rock climbing wall, please make sure younger kids get assigned to the easier side. My 7-year-old was put on the harder one and only made it a few feet up, but she still had fun trying! Overall, Cross E Ranch continues to deliver an unforgettable fall experience. We look forward to it every year!
