There's a variety of animals to see including goats, bunnies, ponies & turkeys. There's plenty of aesthetically pleasing areas for picture taking & gram photos. My favorite part of Fir Point is the food and drinks. Their hard pumpkin spice cider is the best I've ever had (although a 12oz can is expensive at $7 each). Their bakery is simply amazing also, they sell dozens of different sandwiches, wraps, salads or paninis that are all made to order with fresh ingredients. You can take home loafs of their homemade bread and I highly recommend the jalapeño cheddar bread and the butter flake rolls.

I've been to Fir Point Farms a handful of times and always enjoy my visits. We stopped by for a…read morequick bite and I shared the bacon, apple and cheddar panini and it hit the spot!! The lunch came with chips and a cookie, and while their food is maybe a little pricey, I'm not complaining as my guess is they have to price it that way in order to be sustainable. The kids love to explore the grounds and feed the farm animals too. Be sure to grab a cinnamon roll on your way out!

I stopped by on Friday and picked up some fresh corn that was so sweet and delicious, along with…read morefresh tomatoes, peaches (tasted like candy amazing flavor), watermelon, the best coconut cookie I've ever had, and a small apple pie. Everything was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! And I have to mention their kettle corn--it's to die for! It reminds me of the kettle corn they used to have at Lloyd Center. Truly a classic and so good!

When it's berry picking season, I head to Morning Shade Farm! They have so many varieties -…read moreblackberries, boysenberries, Marion berries, elderberries, raspberries. The blackberries and Marionberries, my fave. They are big, plump, and bursting with flavor. Plus, they are so much easier to pick at a farm where the bushes are staked to a trellis vs. the wild ones I pick on the side of the road. Don't get me wrong, I do pick the wild ones, but I'm usually covered in juice and my hands and arms get all pricked. When I'm here, I pick a huge bucketful so I can make pies. The berries are so sweet I just add a little sugar and lemon juice and the pies are perfect. Also pick enough so I can enjoy some plain, by the handfuls. Their blueberries are sweet and delicious, too! I make space in my freezer so I can have them throughout the year. If you don't want to pick your own, no worries, they sell containers and flats in their cute country store along with other food and gift items. This family farm is so picturesque! It's a lovely setting and it's well run with friendly staff. If you are picking fruit, definitely go in the morning to avoid the sun beating down on your back. And wear a hat!

We recently went to pick apples and was surprised at all the upick veggies. They had corn,…read morecucumbers, watermelon, peppers tomato's, flower and pears. We picked a watermelon and 1/2 bucket of apples. I feel like the apples were either under ripe or overripe. 1/2 bucket $8.50 full bucket $17. Watermelon upick is $6. They did have already picked buckets that you could just purchase a higher price. I didn't catch the price of the veggies or flowers. I will go back to check out the pears in a few weeks.

I only recently was made aware of this place, and I'm glad I was…read more At the time I visited, around the middle of October, they had pumpkins as well as flowers on offer. I was here for apples, and they had a ton of options. They were very friendly and patiently explained the process. You fill buckets and then pay at the end. They have pull carts so you can move multiple buckets around. There are so many varieties of apples! There is a chart at the entrance to the orchard with the names and what purpose is best for each kind of apple (eating, baking, applesauce). They also let you sample the apples to help with the selection process. The orchards extend farther than was apparently from the parking lot. It was peaceful at the far end of some of the rows, and we found plenty of apples. It can be muddy, so boots are probably a good idea. It was a lovely fall day, with blue skies. This was a fun way to connect with the season and to become more familiar with where some of our food comes from. Highly recommended.

We visited Red Berry Barn to pick up strawberries as they were one of the few places open with…read moreHoods on Memorial Day. Walking in at 9AM, they had plenty of prepicked pints on a table and also an entire field of strawberries available for U-Pick. Pricing is actually cheaper for the pre-picked pints, but I assume that's because U-Pick means you're eating while picking as well. Red Berry Barn grows three types of strawberries on their farm. Firstly, probably 30-40 rows of Hoods, then some Shuksans, and finally the ever popular (for farmers, given the day-neutral designation) Albion. It's actually quite easy telling the three apart. The Hoods are overgrown, barely kept organized into rows, with lighter color leaves hiding all of the strawberry red deliciousness hiding underneath. The Shuksans in the center, are the tallest of the plants, with striking dark green foliage. The Albions in the last rows look almost emaciated, with small leaves barely able to support the ample stock of strawberries growing from them. Red Berry Barn doesn't have any particular system for organized picking unlike some other U-Pick farms. Most the field was flush with berries, so we just wandered around wherever we wanted to pick the strawberries. We went here specifically to purchase and pick Hoods. The strawberries here aren't like those of other farms. For some reason, the Hoods are much larger, perhaps 3-4x the size of other Hoods, but still with the protruding cap. The outer shell is also quite a bit harder than the typical soft Hood. The taste isn't the same either, being still sweet and plump with good strawberry fragrance, but missing some of the perfumy quality an excellent Hood has from some of the non U-Pick farms. The skin is also much firmer - usually Hoods only last a day or two before going bad due to how delicate their skins are, but on Day 2, these strawberries were still firm. I have no idea if it's the terroir or the growing and fertilizer regimen fed to the strawberries or not. The Shuksans didn't seem to be ready at the time we visited. I tried a couple that looked ripe on the plants, but they were still mostly hard and tasted like sour water. The Albions, however, were among the best Albions I've had, at least the most ripe ones which consist of perhaps only 5% of the crop. They're super sweet and almost reach Hood levels of perfumy quality but with a different taste. Most Albions, however, basically taste like cold storage grocery store strawberries. Just to hammer it in more - the best of the everbearing and/or day neutral varieties like Albion can be great, but on average, they are worse than June-bearing varieties! Albion especially I think is built for shelf life thanks to the waxy coat on the exterior and the firm interior. We ended up buying a half flat of Hoods to save us some time, and picked up a $16 basket that probably fit around 3-4 pints of strawberries. Red Berry Farm derinitely does in a pinch to get some fresh strawberries. I don't think their Hoods are as good as from other farms, but they're still miles better than any grocery store strawberry.

We didnt see the pickers when we got there as they mustve been in use. Although majority of the apples were on the ground, we did find some good ones. We were on a mission to find the pink pearl & the worker let us know that it was the ones with the pink ribbons around them. The property is huge, with a play ground, animals, & bees. You pay by the pound, i believe it was $3/lb. The owner was really nice & let us know that season starts early-mid September. She let us sample the apple cider, & wow so fresh & delicious. We added a bottle of that too to take home along with our 5lbs of apples. We did end up getting several different kinds, each with its own texture/ taste. Some did have some bruises/brown spots, but it was easy to just cut off & enjoy. Such a fun experience. Will definitely be back next year, earlier this time.

Chickens and turkeys roaming the property and a petting zoo area with alpacas, goats, a horse and pony(this one is a biter so be careful)... o and bunnies. We came the 2nd week of October and most of the apples had fallen or were turning but we did find a few good ones to enjoy the experience and bring home. They provide the baskets and stick to grab the apples. Pay inside to weigh and they bag the apples up for you. On-site is a coffee vendor. The coffee was disappointing to say the least. I ordered their seasonal pumpkin americano and it tasted like burnt black coffee. Also, it was piping hot and they filled my cup so much that when I sat down it spilt on me, burning my leg. Had a few sips and called it a lose. There is also a small gift shop which sells local honey, apples and freshly made apple cider. Porter John for a bathroom and nowhere to wash hands. No hands sanitizer. There was a Home Depot bucket filled with water with a soap bottle aside it but I'm hoping they don't expect anyone to use that and I'm hoping nobody is. This was part of my reason for 4 stars. Also parking was slightly complicated but eventually a worker came to direct me where to park as the only marked parking area that I saw was full. In all, we had a great fall day. Expect to spend about 2.5 hours to let the kiddos explore and play. Everyone who worked their was kind.

My son's favorite activity was the ball launcher and my daughter's was seeing/petting all the animals.
