What an awesome place! Everything apple fresh you've ever wanted can be found here! One can also…read morebuy local honey, fresh fudge, even sourdough bread. I bought apples - 1/2 peck of Gala ($10.79) and, (2) 1/2 pecks of Fuji ($10.79 each). Also, I purchased a 10" Caramel Apple Nut Pie ($16.99). Last, but certainly not least, I had to try their Carame Apple Pie Sundae ($9.00) from the Apple Bin Bakery and Cafe. It was incredibly delicious!! There are pumkins for purchase outside as well as farm animals on the "Back 40 Fun Acres" (which I admit I didn't get around to visiting). My tip is for you to go early as it can get quite crowded, especially on weekends.

I am amazed that Walmart sells their tomatoes and that's how I learned about them. They stay…read moreattached usually to their vine and stay fresh even in the plastic bag Walmart sells them in (there are vent holes).

Thanks to MightyVine (and Dutch agro-tech) and their large glass house just outside Chicago, our…read morerestaurant was able to serve ripe locally grown tomatoes all winter. Chef invited the managers and sous chefs to visit the facility. We took a pre-spring Monday drive deep into the farmlands of Illinois (3 tolls deep, to be specific.) Once arrived at MightyVine, we donned sterile clothing to protect the tomatoes from contaminants. Seeing that the last hat had been taken, I put a booty on my head. Danny, one of the partners, took Chef and I on a tour of the MightyVine facility, a huge glass house filled with the seductive aroma of tomatoes. Each tomato plant is grown from a specific hybridized strain, bred for the perfect attributes. They grow to be 40 feet long, bearing fruit at a regular interval so that the tomatoes can be picked at eye level. Pests are controlled by cultivating beneficial insect populations within the glass house. A computer system controls the system of hydroponic feeding. Bees are released and then contained at rhythm, for the pollination. Danny's college background was actually in mental health: I let him know that having locally grown summer ripe tomatoes available year round has been a huge boost to my happiness!

The Lash family and the people they hire are incredibly nice (and to my knowledge none of them smoke, so the people from the other review were not the owners nor the employees; it must've been a neighbor or another customer). We usually go on the days they have the food trucks and vendors, or in large groups with our church for a discounted price. This is a great place for your kids to play, run around, pick pumpkins, and even feed animals in the petting zoo/barn. I highly recommend this patch for anyone in search of a child- and customer-friendly space.

But if you (and your family of all ages) are interested in fresh, high quality vegetables, and a huge selection, skip the grocery store. This is a lot more enjoyable! We are glad we found it, and our family who lives locally, will be back often!

Our daughter has been visiting the farm with her school classmates for over 10 years.

The long term mission of the farm is to provide learning and work opportunities for adults with intellectual disabilities.
