Fischer's is a top-notch U-Pick berry farm…read more The location is a tad hard to find, but it's worth it! The lawn-like parking lot is located on the farm property. You park and get a bucket/buckets from the vendor. A full bucket is roughly $5 worth of berries. That's right--a whole bucket of berries for $5! Visitors are welcome to eat berries as they pick "until your mouth turns blue". There are several rows of blueberry bushes and plenty of berries for visitors! The bushes grow over 5' tall. This is an excellent summer activity. I still have a half gallon of blueberries left in my freezer. The amount I picked last summer has lasted quite a while!

We started inside on Sheena the Wonder Horse. I have to say, the state-of-the-art simulator really helps to get comfortable in a number of ways.

I felt totally comfortable & at ease. She teaches at every level, depending on the student. I'm clearly a beginner & if you've been on the fence about horseback riding, I highly recommend this experience. You're NEVER to old to learn something new! Go to the website & sign up. It was definitely an unforgettable experience for me.

With covid we've had to come up with other fun summer activities that keep the kids engaged but…read morehelp us avoid large crowds. A neighbor actually suggested this place and coming in the morning during the week was really a great idea. We got here shortly after 10am and that was the perfect time to come, there was only one other family picking blueberries and plenty of bushes to give us space. When you get here you pick out a bucket (freshly sanitized) and then you walk down to the blueberry bushes where you can pick blueberries until your heart is happy and bucket is full. Then you walk back up to where you parked and give the people working your bucket with all your pickings, they weigh it and you pay. FYI I'm glad I looked before coming but it's cash only so come prepared and please when you're around others make sure to have your mask. It's easy, fun and gives the kids some sort of summer memories even with covid going on. And let me tell you these blueberries from here are delicious.

The Bad- Not sure about sanitization of buckets, bags, money box, sign-in area. Sanitizer is available, but with no one there when you weigh/come in, hard to say for sure everything has been cleaned to avoid COVID. The Ugly- Some nice size garter snakes, just be aware, especially if you have kids. A bit overgrown in between rows, a little hard for smaller toddlers to walk around. The Skinny- Wonderful small farm and I would go back in a heartbeat. Nice location and would choose this Organic farm any day over others.

I got a kick out of going to see the baby goats in their mini barns - SO adorable - and seeing the big mama goats lining up for their milking. Our cabin, "The Nest," was cozy yet spacious and the right combo of rustic and well-appointed. Lots of nice touches - decor and dishes highlighting the phases of the moon, many interesting books to flip through. Long, comfy couch for naps and a soft bed with lots of pillows. The bathroom (downstairs) left a little to be desired - a portable toilet and a very narrow shower with a step up of a foot. Liked the shady balcony overlooking the chickens and ducks. Friendly hosts, busy with farm life! Bought fun stuff at the little farm store under our cabin, including stickers, yummy goat milk and fresh eggs we fried up for breakfast. Highly recommend as long as you're ready for the rustic bathroom. Thank you to Left Foot Farm for the lovely stay!

The owners are mindful of their role in the community and I've never met nursery owners so willing and eager to help others grow.

Whether you need plants or maybe just want fresh farm grown produce, this is the place you need to stop by first! If I had a nursery, I'd model it after this one, it's just wholesome and real.

We absolutely LOVE the King Agriculture Museum and have been there multiple times! This is a…read morelittle gem of a place just east of the main downtown stretch of Centralia. Open seasonally during the summer, it's a place that you have to check out if you like getting an up-close and personal looksie at vintage farm equipment! Walking in, you enter their main "gift shop" type of room. In it, you will find all sorts of toys, models, and the like - including agriculture vehicles, trucks, construction vehicles, etc. The selection is vast and the pricing is varied, so there is something for everyone. Going through the back exit of that room takes you to the heart of the museum. It includes multiple large, high ceilinged rooms that house their enormous collection of farm equipment. The biggest collection includes tractors, but they've also got other types of equipment and vehicles too. Your visit has to take you outside through their backdoors and enjoy even more, larger pieces of equipment. Back there, your little ones will find a cute little play area that includes a dried bean-filled play table, "big-wheel" type tractors for them to pedal around, and a playground with vintage equipment (remember the old metal slides that burn your skin going down and leave a silver streak down your pants?). LOL! The staff is extremely kind and family friendly. They do not rush you through the visit, are patient with the kids, answer any questions you might have, and let you take your time. I have brought my boys here for almost just the purpose of looking at the models and playing in the back, and the ownership is totally cool with that. They love the fact that the kids like to experience the museum and look at what they have. Very cool, indeed. Their hours are Thursday - Sunday from 10:00am - 4:00pm during June - September. Free for kids 12 and under and only $6.00 for adults, this is an easy and inexpensive option for things to do. The only thing I wish they offered was a membership. Other museums in the area offer a yearly membership that gives you a free admission as one of the perks. Alas, they don't. But oh well. We'll still go there.
