This place is a cute little place. My boyfriend's mom came across it and took all of us. They have a little farm zoo and chickens. I was definitely caught off guard with roaming freely chickens. We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and my did I love the patch. We each got pumpkins, cider and their amazing apple cider donuts. I could not get enough of the donuts. read more

Excellent customer service & selection of Local Goods. ! Keep up the Great Work !! I'll be back !!

I went to Home Depot yesterday to buy patio furniture but no one seemed interested in helping me So today I drove down to Ideal as I had seen on their web site they had Adirondack style chairs. They had quite a few on display. These are made by an Amish guy in Lancaster County PA. I really liked the light purple shade and so went inside. The clerk came out and I ordered 2 chairs, 2 ottomans and a small table. They are charging $35 for delivery and they are delivering tomorrow! They also have a great selection of various jarred items and a bakery. When I want to buy flowers, I will be back! read more

We actually found this place by accident a few years ago. Fortunately for us, it worked out. We've been coming here for our pumpkins ever since. The tractor ride is $1.00 per person. It takes you out out to a pumpkin 'patch' with a LOT of pumpkins to choose from. The kids love it. Don't forget to have a fresh, homemade cinnamon sugar dusted donut. DELICIOUS and addicting to say the least. I dare anyone to have just one. Buy a homemade pie (wide variety) too. Pumpkins are reasonably priced per pound. Check out the garden center with its range of stuff ... talking gourds to Adirondack chairs to gazebos. They have local honey also. Well worth the drive. Fun for the whole family. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed. read more

See all

I've been coming here every Halloween season since the 80s and while the haunted house is a tad dated (see: exactly the same since 1990), the nostalgia of it is fun and it's a cute experience for the family. It has a nice little selection of fruits and veggies and they bring some local vendors in for some cool seasonal knick - knacks. They also have a huge assortment of Christmas ornaments - if you imagined it, they have it! You can't leave before stopping in the bakery and getting a dozen apple cider donuts fresh from the oven. Best donuts I've ever tasted, hands down. Their pies aren't too shabby either and they have a really neat selection of those too! Lastly, don't forget to say hi to the "Hot Dog Guy" and grab a few dogs for the road! Definitely recommend this charming spot. It's fun, it's cute, and it's for sure a great time to be had by the whole family! read more

This is a tough one to describe. As you can imagine this is a garden center. They have all kinds of garden plants, pottery and other garden stuff. Nice selection I guess if you are into that. The reason that I go here every autumn is the holiday attractions. There are all kinds of cool things to do like pumpkin picking and a haunted barn. In order to pick your pumpkin you need to take a 'hay ride' to the top of a hill in the back of the farm. When you arrive you look down on a field of pumpkins below you giving you an amazing opportunity to take pictures. The pumpkins are scattered around in the field for you to walk and pick the one you like the best. Once you do you walk back over to take the hayride back to the main buildings. There are also swing sets and a hay maze for the kids to play. Before you leave make sure you stop inside the building to take a look at the great baked goods. They have the best donuts I have found at any other farm. read more

Been going here for years....nice selection and fair prices. I went in yesterday and picked out two small packs of plants--one basil and one flowers. The signs ALL OVER say "Flats $13.99...packs $1.79. There were only these signs at the ends of each of the rows of plants I bought, no others concerning flats and packs; only other prices for potted plants (by the size of the pot), I go to the register to check out and she pulls out a sheet and says this price for the basil and this price for the flowers. apparently they charge different prices for different packs of plants...but nothing was listed outside anywhere. So instead of $3.80 ($1.79 x2 plus tax) she charges me $6.30! I ask why and she says the 4 pack of flowers cost ____ and the 6 pack of basil costs _____ . I told her there were NO SIGNS at all that said this and all her signs all over said "packs $1.79". On principle, I left the items there on the counter and left. I will not be shopping here anymore. These people play "bait and switch" tactics with their customers which is illegal. BEWARE anyone who goes here at what they charge you when you are at the cash register !!!! read more
