We visited Bailey Family Farm on the very first day of strawberry picking for the year (Jun 1)…read moreright after lunch. They had their fields filled with their earliest variety, Sweet Sunrise, with tons and tons of gigantic berries ready for harvest. When I say tons, I mean it - each plant was flush with berries, and it barely took us 30 minutes to basically fill up our entire flat. They also had a limited number of Shuksan and Rainier strawberries, and some barely ripe Totems available for U Pick. We ended up picking an entire box with Sweet Sunrise and two smaller pints of Shuksan and Rainier. Sweet Sunrise - These are a deep crimson red both inside and out. They are large (averaging around 33g each), but large doesn't necessarily mean better. In this case, the taste is kind of diluted down by the amount of water inside. The most ripe and soft ones are sweet and fragrant, but the vast majority are somewhat diluted in flavor. Even the sourness is dilute. The berries are mostly soft and tender. These are still really great strawberries, but are more muted in flavor compared to some of the smaller varieties. Shuksan - This is the 2nd time I've eaten Shuksans and the 2nd time I've been a little disappointed. These are medium size berries, coming in at around 15.5g each. They are extremely sour, making me pucker with every bite. They are also quite a bit firmer than the other two strawberries, even the darker crimson ones. Quite possibly it's too early in the season for these. I'll have to come back later to try more. These have the most lumps and mutant individuals with tons of multiple fused berries. Rainier - This is probably my 2nd favorite variety of strawberry after Hoods (last year, I ate half a flat every week when these were available). It's really early in the season, so there weren't too many available for us to pick. The ones that we were able to locate fill the mouth with a delightful, strong and potent strawberry fragrance. Unfortunately most are quite a bit on the sour side - the ones in the coming weeks will probably be more sweet. Size is by far the smallest, coming in at around 12g per. The berries are really soft and teeth slice through them like warm butter. They are more acidic and are the only strawberry variety to cause me some stomach issues. We visited again the following Monday and the plants were noticeably skimpier. The leftover Sweet Sunrise were only a third the size of previous, and mostly not as ripe. There were more ripe Shuksans, Totems, Rainiers, and even some Tillamooks, Puget Crimsons, and Mary's Peaks ready. Just some quick notes for these: Tillamook - 24.4g avg, 6.2 brix, varying shape, awful variety, even the super red ones are ridiculously sour. Even beyond the sour, they taste awful. The juice is sour, bitter, nasty, the worst. Puget Crimson - 35.8g avg, 8.2 brix, caps really easily, didn't pick a single strawberry where the cap stayed on. Very conical in shape. Really dark red color. Stronger flavor than tillamook and more sweet, but still quite sour. Expected more flavor for being so dark red. Juice is dark in color, no particular distinguishing characteristics. Mary's Peak - 18.8g avg, 8.4 brix, leaves stay attached, some even have stems. Mostly conical in shape but some wider. Really noticeable seeds, can feel them protruding out of the skin. Very pronounced sweeter but mild flavor, some grassy notes. Juice has some candy element like pixie sticks but more sour. Really love the juice. Sweet Sunrise - 17.2g avg, 7.3 brix, half the size of the ones picked the previous week and not nearly as good. Not as ripe I guess so they don't cap nearly as easily. Deep red color, but more sour than sweet. Shuksan - 17.6g avg, 8 brix, Lumpy strawberries, lots of them fused together into big half moon shapes. Great flavor complexity, nasal, strong strawberry flavor, a little perfumey. More stem quality in the flavor, vegetal not bitter, probably because the pith/stem area stays attached more. Juice normal and bright. I liked these way more than the previous week. Rainier - 12.2g avg, 9.5 brix, most of the ripe ones have holes in them from birds and slugs. Aromatic, sweet but sour. Super perfumey elements. Best in flavor. Juice astringent surprisingly not as sweet as the brix would imply, more acidic instead. I like eating the whole berry more than juiced. Thanks to Bailey Farm having so many varieties, this kind of turned into a little science experiment. What else can I say other than that I will definitely be back next year for more strawberries. As a side note: I really wish farms grew Hood strawberries around here. Maybe we just don't have the right climate and soil for that variety? Those are my favorite by far, with the most sweetness (one batch I measured this year when down in Portland was 16 brix!) and best flavor complexity.

The staff are all high school kids for the most part but they make it a point to make your experience special. My last rave is the food! Everything I've tried has been so yummy! The Apple cider donuts in the fall, the strawberry shortcake in the summer- these are treats I dream about all year! I can't wait to return for Apple picking in September!

Some tidbits before you go: no bathroom, only a port a potty. Bring wet wipes, antibacterial, a set…read moreof extra clothes because you do not want your car to smell of goat poop. And I really wish they would state that they do not have an indoor bathroom before someone travels for about two hours to get here. Bring your own bottled water! No drinkable water here. There were two kids (baby goats), and the others were like 70-80 pounds. So be aware of the weight before you go and have these on you. It might be more ram yoga for you vs goat yoga. We got the kids, and my back feels super fine today! The goats do poop and pee everywhere so leave your bags in the car. Wear your non lululemon leggings because the hooves will stick to you if they jump on you, and there goes $100 yoga pants. And they provide their own mat, just use that one for your own sanitary reasons. Luckily, we prepared extra outfits for the pumpkin patch after. But the water was ice cold and this affects the review much as well. After touching a poopy mat, if there isn't hot water, how am I supposed to be okay with post-barn goat yoga? If I had known beforehand that there wasn't a way to even wash my hands thoroughly, I wouldn't have participated. I assumed that there would be warm water. If you want pictures taken of you, you must ask the photographer. Or sit in the front, just an fyi. All in all, I love the fact that they rescued these goats. The owners are nice. Also this isn't a yoga class where the teacher will correct your moves or help you, so hopefully you have some yoga familiarity before you come. She was easy to follow. Lastly: The goat snacks and treats are in a pitcher above attached to a wall. Hopefully I was able to type some of the things that will be helpful for your goat yoga.

Their target is to give them a wonderful place to live and a joyful life. They gain some donations from shirts and souvenirs. So please be sure to contribute ;) The most of them comes from Goat Yoga classes which are the ones I am reviewing today as I didn't have the opportunity to know the rest of the farm. Goats are incredibly friendly. They have been treated and loved over everything :) They are the queens and respected during class because all of us came with a great attitude to share our time with them in their own space :) I have to say that the class is a very basic one supposed to be for everyone. I wish there would be more levels but I think that would make "work" these goats. So, playing with them was good enough for me :) Definitely was in my bucket list. Staff is mega friendly and patient. I can see their passion about the animals. You can be sure the whole team is prepared. They will also take pics.

We visited the "new" Rusty Nail at Thomas Family Farm on reopening weekend. My husband and I were…read morereally looking forward to it, as we've always loved TFF and were excited to have a new place to eat in Snohomish. First and foremost, the food was delicious! We were not disappointed in that area at all. The presentation was beautiful, and both the quality and portion sizes were spot on. We had the wedge salad, corn ribs, and steak bites (made with steak from their own farm), and everything was excellent. The service was also fantastic. The team at TFF is among the best in Snohomish. A couple of things could be improved, which I imagine are growing pains from opening weekend. The biggest challenge was that we had to close out our tab each time we ordered rather than keeping one tab open throughout our visit. It was very inconvenient as a guest experience, so hopefully that's something they're able to streamline as they settle into operations. The other minor issue was that the store area wasn't quite ready yet, so we weren't able to fully experience that part of the visit. I'm looking forward to seeing it completed when we come back. Overall, not much has changed from the Rusty Nail we knew before, but the food is great, the service is wonderful, and we're excited to visit again soon.

After waiting for 20 minutes, I went to their food pickup table to get our meals as soon as they were ready so that we could eat and get to the butterfly release. I saw what looked like five of the seven items we ordered come out shortly. They then sat under a heat lamp for another 20 minutes, when two of us left to get to the butterfly release. I was fairly certain that quite a few orders placed afer ours were served before us, as there were only three groups at tables when we arrived, and many more than that were served while we waited. The rest of our group joined us just before 12:30 with our food orders. After the butterfly event, we went back to our outdoor table and finally had our lunch about 90 minutes after we placed our order. We then discovered that we got a kids size mac and cheese instead of the adult entree, and the other kids mac and cheese included was minus the fruit. Thomas Family Farms is a great place to visit, but avoid their restaurant.

Just a heads up, the fields get very sunny all day long, so sun protection is a must. The strawberries are fresh and flavorful.

Fun activity for friends and families, totally worth the trip.

Let's start with the good stuff about this concert venue with this caveat; the bad is REALLY bad…read moreand it makes it really hard to focus on the good things Remlinger Farms has going for it as a concert venue because the bad seems unavoidable (we tried). The good: Beautiful setting Friendly folks manning the venue interior Ample beverage choices with reasonable markup Really good carrot cake Clean port a potties The bad: We showed up well before the venue opened at 5:30 hoping to secure a parking spot that would allow us to leave without the gridlock we had experienced prior when we went to the Black Keys. At that prior concert upon exit we sat unmoving in our car for at least 45 minutes before someone opened a back gate and let us out. We were hopeful the next time that they would have opened that sooner. But NOPE --They no longer open it, they claim, because the city requires they keep that exit clear for emergency vehicles. If you arrive early, DO NOT ALLOW THEM to park you near the back fence/gate. They will not let you out the gate and you will be the last to leave. This is super frustrating because you can't help but see that there's a gate and a clear path away. The visual of an exit is hard to look at when you're stuck and unmoving. Remlinger Farms needs to take into consideration that the first to arrive should be parked closer to feasible exits. It seems unusually punitive to require early birds to be the last to leave, while staring at a blocked exit --when they give up more time prior to the concert to be there early. When cars don't move at all it also just brings up something primal that we all feel when we're trapped, (fight or flight)with no escape. After the Cake concert, with our cars In the back section, we all left our vehicles to see what was going on. One of the women there said that her sister had arrived at 6:45 PM, 15 minutes before the show started and was already on her way home. The show had ended at least an hour prior. Several people gathered and the mood was getting escalated. Trapped people are frustrated people. This to me is completely unacceptable and poor management of resources. To express our frustration , feedback and case for letting us out the gate, some folks all started talking to the manager of parking about what was happening, including telling him of our early arrival---and while the kid was polite he probably was about 19 or 20. You don't put a kid in charge of crowd control during parking exits. This is completely irresponsible and not well thought out. While they may have devised a plan to empty the parking lot as swiftly as possible, in fairness, they also need to take into consideration that first and first out is really a thing, and it keeps people from becoming irate or desperate to leave. One person had their toolbox and was ready to take the back gate off the hinges-- I kid you not, And I don't blame the reaction. At the heart of it, we are still animals that will go to lengths not to be cornered. It's understandable to be the last ones to leave if you are the last in. And that would be a normal expectation. It's unacceptable when you are the first in. Two stars are for the venue and drink service. Zero stars for parking. Will we return? Maybe if the headliner is super amazing and there's a clear indicator that this situation has been mitigated. But if we're seeking an outdoor venue Chateau St. Michelle is the clear choice. We have a limited entertainment budget and choose to spend our money at a venue that respects our time and ensures that we are granted an easy exit. This parking situation is a big deterrent from an otherwise, good venue. We shouldn't feel trapped and panicked after a fun night. I hope management sees this and makes much needed improvements. Until then, we'll seek out other venues first.

We enjoyed the butterfly release! My son really loved seeing the butterflies! This was a ticket we bought separately from admission but we thought it was fun. You can also just watch the butterflies without buying a ticket. For the price i thought it was kind expensive for what was available but all in all, I don't mind supporting the farm. It's very laid back and more bare bones than other farms we've been to. U-pick blueberry is free admission and so is the area where you can get blueberry lemonade and ice cream. They have a store with some of their goods like blueberry syrup and jam. They don't sell already picked blueberries so you have to make sure to bring your blueberry picking energy. They have buckets you can use.
