Borzynski's Farm & Floral Market: Borzynski Farms has its origins in Sturtevant, Wisconsin but the…read morefamily run business now also has farms in IL, GA, and TX. I visited the location in the village of Mount Pleasant (near Racine, WI) to check out their 8-acre corn maze. The theme this year is the Loch Ness Monster, but I wouldn't let the theme influence you either way as it did not have a significant impact on the experience. The maze is divided up into different sections/quadrants that can easily be identified by different colored (blue, yellow, white, and green) strips running throughout the maze. The colors don't ruin the level of difficulty; they simply let you know that you are progressing into the next section and are really something of a safety measure. I moved at a relatively brisk pace and was unencumbered by small children. That said, it took me approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete, walking roughly three miles. I thought it was a neat experience, and it gave me a nice touch of nostalgia as I haven't done a corn maze since I was a kid. I recommend checking it out, but I think it would be challenging to do at night or with children requiring a stroller as the ground is obviously dirt and not even. *Also make sure to use the restroom prior to entering

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!

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.

It's a challenge to know where to start in answering, "What do I recommend about Bub's Honey?"…read more Brian & Jenny contribute so much to their Wisconsin community in myriad ways through this labor of love. First up: the honey. It is easily one of the best I've ever tasted in a lifetime of honey-loving. It also happens to be 100% natural and untreated. Not a single "extra" is added at any step along the way. $15/jar and worth every penny. If you live in the College Ave. area of the historic district, you can even walk to their porch for a pickup. Next: the experience. I had no idea that Brian had hives at Eco Justice Center (& a nearby plot) until I meandered across a mention of a one-time mini-course he was giving during summer. Full disclosure: my interest in honey has always been on the consumer end not the production end. However, JO has been OBSESSED with the idea of learning beekeeping here or in Ireland for awhile now. Brian & Jenny were gracious enough to let me arrange a private "Bees 101" experience for his bday. I went along just for the fresh air but returned wholly captivated by beekeeping, myself. As a physics teacher, Brian's unique take on innovative twists and experiments for his hives is fascinating. What really got me, though, is his storytelling. I am all about the storytelling. Each hive has a different name and a completely different setup. Learning about the differences in personality and habits of Italian vs Russian bees... I haven't stopped reading about them since our visit. If you don't know much about the health benefits of consuming LOCAL honey, have yourself a Google-- especially if you suffer from allergies, hay fever, immune disorders... If you are an educator, yourself, consider reaching out to Brian about a field trip. If you are a grant-giver, please do consider learning more, too. This is an extraordinary asset to your community. Oh... and Jenny is a fellow NU Wildcat so #GoCats! This is located just an hour north of campus! Perfect fall trip! Just call ahead to make a date!
