This is an eclectic setup for sure with a "shop" selling many things nobody really needs, some farm…read moreanimal areas, and a barn with old tractors. I've even heard that you can stay here B&B style. See my point, bit unfocused and yes they sell things like honey as one would expect but it's not theirs - just their label. That sort of sums up the situation, a marketing layer on top of I'm not sure what. Look too deeply and you'll see this as not too high a regarded place. Guess the pigs and the wild running around turkey as well as a Christmas tree or wreath or two makes it enough for some.

Greig Farm

We were absolutely thrilled to come upon a farm or orchard that does not function as a money grab…read more Their policy of pick what you pay for is a rarity we see these days, and we find this policy to be the most welcoming and the practice generates the highest likelihood of repeat business. When we arrived, on June 17, 2026, prime season for strawberries and snap peas, we were greated by a friendly young woman named Erin, who operated the admission booth. She provided us with two small containers for the snap peas and two larger for the strawberries and explained that we can pick whatever we want, and only pay for what we harvest. We acquired some beautifully fresh snap peas and freshly sweet strawberries. We visited the store, which offered typical farm store goods. There was nothing overly impressive about the store, but it is worth a look. We loved this place and even though it is more than an hour away, this will be our go to place to pick your own fruits and vegetables. We are looking forward to bluberries season in early July!

Huge place and great to bring the kids…read more We went for strawberry picking for Father's Day. I like that you only pay for what you pick. No entrance fee per person and no parking fee (Unlike many other farms). The downside was that there were not many strawberries. The ones we did pick were already wilting within 24hours. I think we caught the end of picking season. The farm is about 1/4 mile down from the market /cafe/brewery. The market is cute and has a lot of pantry items as well as fresh produce. They also serve lunch (chicken sandwich, etc). I was surprised at how expensive everything was. It was $18 for the chicken sandwich. It was well fried and came with a good portion of salad. However, the chicken itself was very small. It also took 20 min to be served. Another option is the airstream in the back. They were selling hot dogs. They had some local dogs that were pretty tasty. The brewery on premise was great. They had a play area to keep the kids occupied, tables/chairs and the World Cup was on. Can't really get better than that. There is also a goat pen in the back of the market. You can pay for some food and the kids can feed the goats. A lot of places charge you just to see the goats. This place doesn't haggle you like that. Great place. I wish they were closer to the city!

Music was off the meat rack! It's a fun place to visit, eat, drink and chill. But hurry! I think it ends this weekend! It was my first time but I will def be back next year!

I wish they offer their adult workshops year-round. Also wish they offer Zoom classes for adults and would hold some special events more often. Most of their classes are focused towards children, not adults. They should do more to inspire adult attendance IMO. I've had a few workshops cancelled due to low enrollment, which is disappointing but to be fair, I've had this happen with other art schools too. They aren't always consistent with responding to emails so it's best to call if you have questions. I've also noticed inconsistencies on their schedule/calendars. My favorite teachers are Theresa Bates and Roy Lerner. I highly recommend (both passionate about teaching) and to learn about mixed media, which Theresa also sometimes teaches. Mixed media has changed my life in some of the most spectacular ways!
