The outside part of the farm stand is dog friendly and they have a few areas set up for little photo shoots! The inside part is not dog friendly but has some good fall finds like hot cider, cider donuts, and pumpkin muffins. The Apple orchard area is also dog friendly but you must purchase a minimum $30 apple bag to enter unfortunately. I wish that had been more clear on their website or socials, I would have enjoyed just walking thru and not picking any apples.

So being that I was in Salem I decided to stop in. It was great to see that they had fresh, leafy lettuce, mint, and radishes. There were some very good looking strawberries. But I passed on them in need of vegetables & herbs. If I'm not mistaken each item I bought was $ 1.00 it just over it. * They do NOT take credit cards... Cash or check only. And just so you know there is no ATM close by that I know of. Anyway, what I got for the amount I paid I feel was a real bargain for fresher produce than at the supermarket! I wish I lived closer... I would stop in 1-2 times a week!

The workers in the farm area weren't helpful and actually led us in the wrong direction for the tractor ride and we missed it and didn't get to ride it.

Paid $80 for four tickets for my family -- two adults and our two young children. We were there for…read moreapproximately TEN MINUTES. My two-year-old's wristband fell off somewhere inside. When we went to the front desk, I showed them the $80 transaction proving I had just paid for four admissions. But here's the part that is genuinely unbelievable: the front desk employee said, verbatim, "Yes, I remember you got four tickets, and I watched you put it on him." So there was literally no dispute. Their own employee confirmed that I paid for my son's admission AND that she personally watched me put his wristband on him. A man was then called over and, despite hearing this, repeatedly told me that because my two-year-old no longer had his wristband, I hadn't purchased his admission. I kept explaining that I had. I showed him the payment. His own employee told him I had. He kicked my entire family out anyway. They told me they processed a full refund, which I will update this review to confirm once it appears on my card. I can understand having a wristband policy. I cannot understand accusing a customer of not paying when you have both proof of payment AND an employee standing there confirming she personally watched the wristband go onto the child's wrist. Absolutely appalling way to treat a family over a two-year-old losing a wristband. We will never return. This is the guy who clearly has an ax to grind with a two year old. I'd be careful with this place- clearly a scam.

The Apple was was good flavor and fair size pie however the Banana Cream Pie while the flavor was ok the banana slices were nearly non existent- in my slice of the pie there were 2 shaved thin pieces of banana. Also the whipped cream was sparsely laid out. I could go to any supermarket and get one and the banana slices are thick and plentiful and whipped cream is 3 times what was on Manns Pie. Complete waste of money and I'll stick to only getting an Apple pie however I'm better off getting Apple pies from Costco since they are twice the size and much less expensive. Not impressed Manns- get with the program!

Growing up, this farm was steps from my backyard and I would always walk over with the neighborhood hooligans to poke the animals and inhale some tasty fudge (fat kid). Barker's is one of, if not the oldest farm in town, dating back to 1642 (NA was established in 1646) and has been run by 10 generations of the Barker family. There's a cute little farmstand with fresh vegetables (corn!), baked goods (fudge!), fruit (apples!), flowers, plants, and whatever else. There is also an area around the back of the barn where you can go look at the variety of animals they have and take in a deep breath of fresh animal stench. Barker's also offers your seasonal needs such as pumpkins, Christmas trees, etc. In comparison, Smolak Farm in North Andover is your 5-star place to go, but Barker's will always have that special place in my heart and that's why I love it.
