    Yummy food
    Heidi H.

    Such a beautiful farm and Fun place to gather with friends and family for the fall season. Several food choices, lots of yummy dessert (donuts!) and games. Corn mazes (3) and trains, etc...

    Pumpkin barn- so cute to take pictures in front of!

    Like everything else, their prices have gone up in the last few years. $12 admission on Tuesdays, and prices go up from there for weekends. Their "bounce back" pass can be purchased as you leave, which gains admission on any day for $12. Must be purchased only for those attending. New things- Real bathrooms! More food options! More picnic benches. Local Costcos also sell Lowe Family Farmstead gift cards. If you're planning on coming with a group and buying anything (food, pumpkins, etc.) the gift card is worth it. I think it's $125 gift card for $100. I was disappointed to see the mini donut stand doesn't take gift cards.

    This is such a great place to take your family for some family fun. Admission price is $20 Monday through Saturday, with children under 3 being free. There are a variety of things that you can do including the MAiZE, Hayride, Rusty the Very Big Beast, Corn Poppers, Bee Line, Feed Mill Ropes Course, Cow Train, Bee Train, Grain Train, Pig Races, Pumpkin Patch, Potato Sack Slide, Barnyard Ball Zone, Farmyard Games, and Farm Animals. You can buy animal feed once you purchase tickets. They also have apple blasters and you can pay for the apple to shoot. There are a few stations with food options as well. We really enjoyed feeding the farm animals. My donkey was the favorite. My husband sat in the corn which was funny. I had my husband and father in law go down the slide. Apple blasters was so much fun and it was pretty cheap for the family bucket. We had a lot of fun and I know a lot of kids would have more fun!

    There was a great variety of pumpkins to choose from. The sunflowers were beautiful to wander through and great for picture taking. The food was delicious but like all such places a bit pricy (I've seen worse though). The only flaw was one of the food places never opened even when they said they should have been.

    Felt pretty white coming here, but overall was very fun! We didn't even do everything they offered (we did have a lot of little kids, but still). From Pumpkin Picking to Tractor Rides to a weird Dragon Haunted House (not the best for younger kids), they had a lot to do for kids of all ages. The Food was standard and a little pricey, the parking lot is big, and the candy canon was ridiculous but fun. We will come again next year!

    We go every year! Too bad they had to move down to Kuna! A little further drive for us, unfortunately. Overall we always have a good time every visit. Although, this year has had no organization at all. They have everything gathered everywhere! Like, I understand it's a HUGE space, but they could have had the food all in one section, instead of having to walk half way across the farmstead to get lemonade after getting my food! Of course I won't rate it any less! That's just my opinion. Lol. Creamery cookies are my favorite there! It's a must! Great place to take the family, this year has seem to be the busiest! I have never seen it packed out like this before. Good for them! And also, this year they added the sunflower field! Loved the idea it was so much fun to running around taking pictures lol.

    Pulled pork sandwich If you can call it that.

    The farmstead is fun but expect do be disappointed by the food. Ordered from their main food place (the farmstead kitchen) ordered a cheese burger, corn dog and pulled pork sandwich. They gave us the corn dog and 2 cheeseburgers. Had to take it back after we sat and opened the boxes. They threw away the hamburger. Rather than give it to me free as well as the correct sandwich. What a waste of food. Your tossing it anyway might as well give back to me since you're going to loose money on it anyway. Then Gave me the pulled pork sandwich I ordered. Pulled pork is advertised as tossed in a tangy BBQ sauce and topped with coleslaw. It has NO SAUCE on it and is dry as a bone. Also, coleslaw was not on it like advertised, there was a half a serving on the side soaking my fries. Corndog looks great. Big and well done. Ok for the price. Cheese burger is tiny and sad for the price of $12 and McDonald's is a better burger for half the price. Also, all the food is pre made, sitting on the counter getting cold so don't expect it to be fresh or warm. For $12 a burger worse than McDonald's you should be able to expect it to be warm.

    Apple cannon.

    Visited with the kids on Friday early afternoon. Both of my kids had free tickets from their school which helped with the cost quite a bit. Last year we paid for the whole family and it was a bit expensive. The place is much farther than last year. It is bigger than the previous location. It wasn't as busy on Friday early afternoon which was nice. We didn't have to pay extra to go into Rusty (the giant inflatable dragon) so we went numerous times. They had many new attractions, my kids' favorites were the apple cannon (costs extra) and feeding the bees (my favorite). Corn maze was fun. Food was overpriced, a bottle of water for $3 but I think one is allowed to bring their own water and snacks. We will go again next year.

    Introduced to Richardson Family Farms' remarkably good organic strawberries as available in 2 lb…read more flats in early September at the Boise Co Op by friend Carl Y and his wife, my husband and I found these fragrant, perfectly ripe, super delicious gems to be the best strawberries of the season. That they were local and organic and harvested so late in the summer intrigued us enough to seek out Richardson's in Emmett and pick our own. WORKING MEDITATION There is a sort of meditation involved in being in a place like this doing the work of picking berries. The only sounds were the wind rustling plants, the click of grasshopper wings in flight, the buzz of yellow jackets seeking out the fruit over-ripe and the upbeat voice of brother talking to sister in the next field as they picked berries for the market. Add in the aroma of the berries as warmed by the sun, it was a pretty sweet experience all around. THE DRILL The drill here to pick is pretty informal. When they see your car pull in, one of the folks who work on the farm (we met both the owner and his son) will ask if you're there to pick, give you a box for the berries and point you in the direction of the plants with the most ripe fruit. The owner even gave my hubby a strawberry picking tutorial, how to recognize the perfectly ripe ones from those that seem ready but aren't quite yet. When you're done, they'll weigh your boxes and tell you what a ridiculously little amount of money is owed. WEEDING FOR BERRIES The owner told us for folks who want fresh berries but who feel they cannot afford to buy them, he is happy to trade their work to help weed the rows for berries in return. Nice barter system it seemed to us. Work for food. THANKS TO FARMERS My strawberry picking days are in the rear view mirror due to limits introduced by MS but I had a lot of experience in my youth and enjoyed supervising my hubby's first time efforts! He thought it was fun for an agricultural excursion day and enjoyed every minute of his couple of hours. But he also recognized it would be back breaking to pick berries for a living. We both took a moment to tell the Richardson Farm family members who were doing that work, this is truly a family operation in the fields as the owner has more than a dozen children,, how much we value being able to simply swing by the Co Op to buy their fine berries because of their work. It was a verbal hug of America's family farmers of whom we think good thoughts all the time. CO-OP AVAILABILITY If you're planning on buying via the Co Op the berries should be available there at times into October. The folks we met at the farm went out of their way to say how much they appreciated having the Co Op as their partner. THIS N THAT: 1) PRICE: If you want a true appreciation for what a fair price is on these flats of berries at the Co Op, venture out and pick for a couple of hours and consider the cost to the farmer to organically grow them, pick them, package them and transport them to market. Then consider the cost of the Co Op to put them up for sale. 2 lb. flats at Co Op are $7.95, so just under $4.00 / pound. If you compare to the most commonly available CA Grower (Driscoll) for organic berries pound for pound, these locals are a lower cost. If you pick your own at the farm, they cost a mere $1.50 / pound. Factor in the cost of travel to get to Emmett and the opportunity cost for your time, that Co Op price is a bargain too! 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Hard packed, gravel covered pathway. Neither porta-pot is accessible. 3) OTHER FRUITS AND VEGGIES: Sometimes available. Yesterday they included cherry tomatoes, Armenian cucumbers and Italian prune plums. 4) CONTACT INFO & GETTING THERE: If you plan to venture out, the farm is a little tough to find. The best way to zero in is via their website linked here. http://idahoberry.wordpress.com/ 5) THE OWNER: Worth saying he is an eccentric type of man. He has run for Governor at least once and his personal, legal name is Right to Life. You are not going to meet Old MacDonald if you visit the farm.

I get why people posted them, although they may have had no experience with the farmers, these are farmers, who own and operate Red Chair. The nutshell is this. Red Chair is in Eagle, a relatively small community and the one I live in too, and they hold an annual Lavender Festival just after July 4th every year. This year it was advertised that Old State Saloon would be a part of it, apparently as a vendor for food and drink. Old State is a watering hole in downtown Eagle and the owner has made no bones about his anti-gay and hard right wing perspectives, MAGA hats abound and he has hosted things like the "Hetero" event in downtown Boise last week. Thankfully almost no one showed up there, but let me tell ya', in Eagle people go to his Old State location. I was in there when they first opened, not knowing at that time the owner's orientation, but it was plenty clear pretty fast and I do not support them nor do business with any entity that is in league with them. We consumers vote our values with our wallets. When people found out Old State was involved with the lavender festival at Red Chair, the lambasting of Red Chair started. But Red Chair has cut ties with Old State to do the food and beverage service after the Old State owner's bigoted, homophobic remarks were published in connection with press coverage of the recent downtown Boise event. If you take the time to read the news article here, you'll see this farmer / owners was sort of unaware of the depth of the Old State owner's issues and was just happy someone was willing to help out providing food and beverage vending at the lavender festival. Learning of the remarks and having his Lavender Farm business targeted by people who thought he was in synch with Old State's owner, he told them he does not want them to participate. https://www.kivitv.com/eagle/red-chair-lavender-cut-ties-with-old-state-saloon-after-racist-comment-at-bars-hetero-awesome-fest

I heard Marina say once something that was roughly this; farming is good for the family and family farming is good for the world. I'm paraphrasing, but I wanted to say "Amen" to that and also to thank her because it certainly is good for the local community. ACCESSIBLE FARM STORE FOR PRE-PICKED FRUIT: It was buying their dried sour cherries from other vendors in the area, both Peaceful Belly's farm store and McIntyre Farm store that introduced me to Cherry Hill. Visiting the farm for the first time in maybe 2019, they had only portable tables set up in a deep gravel over dirt lot and given I have mobility disabilities (I have had multiple sclerosis since college) that make it beyond difficult to walk through that, I was disappointed to not be able to get from parking to the product on tables. Fast forward a few years and they now have built a small farm store on site and although they still have that gravel over dirt lot, they did observe ADA minimums to pour a cement apron on one side of the store with a single parking spot there which makes it possible for all people to get into the farm store on solid surface and shop for sour dried cherries , sour fresh cherries, cherry juice, apples, pears, apricots, nectarines and peaches in their various seasons. U-PICK OPTIONS: U-Pick is offered through all the various seasons. Check Cherry Hill's Facebook page or Web page or call them to be sure they are open when you want to do and what is growing to be picked. DID YOU SAY DONUTS?: the surprise for us as we stocked up on dried cherries, apples, pears and O'Henry peaches a couple of weeks ago was to learn they have fresh made cinnamon sugar donuts at some times. We managed to buy the last half dozen, how they are sold, and came home to share them with the men who mow our lawn and we all thought they were great. SPECIAL EVENTS FALL AND SPRING: There is a corn maize and pumpkin patch in the fall from late September through October 31, so it is going on as I write this review, with special activities for children. In the Spring they hold a cherry festival. With cherry trees and the other fruit trees in blossom at different times, it really is a beautiful place to visit then. NEIGHBORS TO VISIT ON A DAY TRIP: *If you're in Caldwell to visit Cherry Hill, I recommend a visit to Peaceful Belly Farm which is also home to a Cidery. They serve lunch and dinner in their on site cafe on some Thursdays through Sundays during the Spring into Winter. Check their website for more information. It is very special to eat there, you can walk through the farm, and they have an onsite farm store selling their produce and that of neighbors, like Cherry Hill. Owners Jodie and Clay Erskine are so creative in offering community engagement opportunities. https://www.yelp.com/biz/peaceful-belly-farm-caldwell?osq=peaceful+belly *You may also want to pay a visit to McIntyre Pastures which pasture raises all their cattle, pigs and chickens and they have a farm store to sell their proteins - including eggs that are the best I have ever used - and other local farm products, like Cherry Hill dried cherries. https://www.yelp.com/biz/mcintyre-pastures-farm-caldwell?osq=MCINTYRE+FARM

In the last few years they are raising lambs too. (See PS at end for their info about the lamb breeds and how they are raised.) As avid home cooks who are passionate about supporting local farmers and using local sourced ingredients, my husband and I have been Purple Sage fans since we discovered them on a visit to the Boise Farmer's Market in 2013, before we moved to the area. In the ten years we have lived in the area Purple Sage fresh and dried products purchased at our local CoOp or the Boise Farmers Market in season, have been used in our kitchen on several days during every week for many dishes. Once we discovered Purple Sage was raising lamb, our favorite protein to cook when we use animals although we are vegetarian cooks about 90% of the time, we added that to the line up. We recently learned that Purple Sage will deliver (two days a week, I think) in the Treasure Valley and that includes lamb as well as all other items. As a cook with growing disabilities (I have had multiple sclerosis since college days) delivery sounded great to me to avoid a trip to the CoOp or Farmers Market. Delivery is free with an order of $25 or more and a modest delivery fee otherwise. Yesterday we tried the delivery service for the first time and it was such fun to have abundance of gourmet mix salad greens, arugula and fresh herbs including flowering thyme, chives, cilantro, peppermint, tarragon and dill delivered to our door along with a couple of lamb shoulder steaks and a half leg roast. (As with all local farmers who sell animal proteins, the lamb is frozen after butchering.) We are grateful for this family and the work they do to help nourish us! Here is a link for others who want to learn more about how to buy from Purple Sage Farms. https://www.purplesagefarms.com/shop PS - Here is what they say about their lamb: "We raise Katahdin and Dorper breeds, hair sheep known for their delicately flavored meat. These are smaller stature sheep that shed their wool--super practical for our farm. Our lambs are raised and finished on grass and are harvested at 90-100 lbs. We send animals for slaughter weekly April to December."
