Pearce's Farm Stand is so much more than a place to pick up produce--it's a full-on family…read moreexperience that our kids (and we!) absolutely adore. From live music and wagons to pull/ride to fresh samples and pumpkins (fall), every visit is packed with wholesome fun and unforgettable memories. The farm stand is incredibly kid-friendly, with a large play space featuring real (retired) farm equipment to climb on and hay castles to explore. Our kids could spend hours there! They especially love riding in the wagons, sampling treats like juicy watermelon and soft peanut butter cookies, and dancing to the live music. And we have to mention the sweet corn--it is hands-down the BEST we've ever had. Perfectly crisp, fresh, and flavorful, it's a summer must-have and reason enough to stop by all on its own. In the fall, Pearce's turns into a magical wonderland. Last year, our daughter (who had just turned two) remembered every single detail from our visits--so much so that returning in 2025 was a top priority as soon as they opened for the season! We also really appreciate the farm's $3 "ugly" or overstock veggie bags--a great way to get fresh produce at an amazing value while cutting down on food waste. It's thoughtful touches like this that make Pearce's a favorite not just for the fun, but for the values behind it. If you're looking for a place to make lasting family memories, enjoy local food, and support a fantastic small business, Pearce's Farm Stand is a must-visit. We're already counting down to our next trip!

Edwards. Fall. They are synonymous to stateliners…read more Edwards has been here since before I was born. I think I visited every year until I moved away. But, if I'm here when Edwards is open, I have to come back and have cider donuts. And today, I was lucky enough to eat one. You should definitely visit if you find yourself in Northern Illinois in the fall. There's no other place like it.

I thought coming here first thing in the morning we would avoid a crowd and goodness I was wrong and loved to see it. My group and I walked through their market first where they have numerous samples to try. There are plenty of options to choose from and it was hard to keep our tab at a reasonable price, haha. My husband and I purchased the fiesta dip, cheese curds, apple cider donuts and the cheese and caramel popcorn. Next our group went apple picking. Prices are pretty standard compared to other spots, they do have a $5 deposit if you are borrowing a basket. If you are able to bring a basket of your own, I highly recommend that. To get to the apple orchard you take a short 'hay ride' which I really enjoyed. It was nice to see different areas of the farm. Staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I'm officially a fan girl of Edwards and am looking forward to many more apple picking adventures here in the future!

I also bought apple cider and it was good too.

This orchard has been a couple of experiences for me. Both fantastic and disappointing. Fantastic…read morebecause of the lovely varieties, the excellent quality of the apples, and the low-frills true focus on good fruit being grown. The founder of the orchard recently passed away, and it has been handed off to some really lovely people. But with recent growing seasons being very difficult, and this orchard effectively starting over, it's not quite the same just yet. I recently picked some apples and peaches, and they didn't live up to some really high expectations from previous years. But it was still a lovely experience. We were welcomed very warmly, and had a nice morning just like we always did. At this point, I look forward to the future of this orchard. It really is prepared to be what a great orchard can be: simple, varied, and welcoming. This year may not be the best year for Meadowmoor ever, but I'm very glad it's still around, and plan to be back again next year.

My husband and I were staying at a nearby hotel and needed a gluten free lighter option before a spa day. I'm so glad we found Green Grocer. It was packed. Not an empty seat in the place around 12:00 on a Saturday. We did have to circle around for parking as well, but only had to walk a short distance from across the street. I got a drip coffee with blueberry waffle flavor and cream. The coffee was very good. I believe they use Collectivo. The gluten free raspberry financier was even better. It was similar to a Madeline cookie, but larger and raspberry in the center. I would drive back just for the pastry. We also got sandwiches from the deli and two fountain drinks from bar. I loved my build your own turkey and Swiss with sprouts, lettuce, tomato's pickle, onion, mayo, mustard, and sub sauce on gluten free bread. The bar service was great too. I definitely recommend Green Grocer for sandwiches and coffee, especially if you want to avoid the craziness of downtown Lake Geneva. Seems like the locals know this place is fantastic as it was non stop busy.
