Great family fun at Martin's…read more Warning -- the last two miles on Ashland Road from Highway 77 are a washboard dirt road. Dusty and rumbly. $6 admission reasonable when compared to their big-city counterpart. Apples were yummy. Hayride, tire swings, feats of strength, pumpkins galore. Kids stayed interested. Friendly staff. We were a few days after a frost so the flowers were gone, alas. Hope to make this a yearly adventure.

I took my family here yesterday and while I'd say it's a great value, that comes with the…read moresignificant caveat of "if you don't care about your health and safety and that of your loved ones." Staff were wearing masks but absolutely never enforcing mask-wearing for visitors. I had to say no to my toddler who wanted to play on everything because no other families were wearing masks- we only saw one other masked group the whole time we were there. And besides not wearing masks, no one seemed to believe in personal space either. So they playground, the tire hill, the eating area, the trikes, and the hay ride were all completely inaccessible due to a lack of care for health and safety. I saw people putting them on just briefly to go check in, to go in the cafe, and to check out, but that's absolutely it. We were able to do the corn maze, the butterfly garden, the orchard, and the pumpkin patch, but it was hit-or-miss, no one was polite enough to give a safe distance while they walked around maskless. As far as the quality of the stuff we were able to experience- the corn maze was perfect for kids, the butterfly garden was gorgeous even this late in the season, and the orchard was a nice peaceful walk. The pumpkin patch, however, was a disappointment- I inspected at least 50 pumpkins and only found three that weren't broken open and cracked. It's only $5 per person and that gets you $2 off your purchase at the end so maybe we'll come back another time if/when it's safe but for now they've earned my 2 star rating for not being firmer about trying to save lives.

Roca Berry Farm is a hidden gem just outside of Lincoln, NE. This farm has everything you are…read morelooking for during your fall adventures! We went at the start of their season, and were blown away by the activities and attractions here for the kids. Train rides, peddle carts, haunted houses, corn maze, daily shows and more! Everyone was so kind and welcoming from the front gate all throughout the park. On top of that, the food selections were excellent! BBQ station, burgers, chicken fingers, among many others. I would absolutely add Roca Berry Farm to your list of fall farms to check out!

This is my 6th consecutive year at the farm - this year fell flat…read more We headed to the Smokehouse at 6:15 for some food before the night time attractions as the website states it's open til 6:30p on Sundays. We arrived and the crew was leaving, and said they closed at 6. The staff were friendly and told us where we could head for food. We picked Barry's as the website showed a burger basket with fries. We arrived and ordered and there were no fires or even toppings (besides ketchup and mustard) for the burger. The funnel cakes were amazing, as always. I would recommend this place, as it is neat! But, maybe just eat supper before arriving if you want a quality meal. The attractions this year were ever changing and evolving as always, the night time frights don't disappoint!

We've been trying a lot of new farm stands recently, and decided to try Jilian's Produce. Easy to…read morefind and plenty of parking. Huge selection of watermelons and cantaloupes.

We live south of Omaha so this is a long trip for us, but we'd stop in again if in the area.

One of my favorite produce stands in the area. Over the years they've grown exponentially and…read morecontinued to offer more and more items. I LOVE that they have bags of pre-husked corn for when you're in a rush or don't have an easy spot to husk it yourself (and you cannot husk the corn there at the stand). The watermelons tend to be just ok for the fairly high price, but my faves are the corn, cantaloupes, and tomatoes. One thing to note is that not everything is necessarily local or grown in Nebraska. At some other stands they sell only local stuff. So just be mindful as you look around. And when in doubt, just ask.

Whether you're stopping in for their incredible apple cider doughnuts and cookies, picking fresh apples, enjoying a glass of wine, or just soaking in the beauty of the orchard, there's something here for everyone. Kimmel is also a fantastic place to host events -- the Kimmel Education & Research Center and the outdoor pavilion provide unique, welcoming spaces surrounded by nature. And if you're bringing kids (or just young at heart), don't miss the Pollinator Playground or the Certified Pollinator Habitat -- both are creative, educational, and fun spots to explore. Kimmel is truly a gem in Southeast Nebraska -- full of charm, great people, and meaningful connections to the land and community. Definitely worth a visit (or many)!

Good thing this was not our only planned stop in Nebraska City. I did enjoy walking Doug's Trail -- and easy walk along a peaceful, mostly shaded route. The Historic Barns were cool. Overall, the site seemed to be clean and well-maintained.

I was warmly greeted at the door by a gentleman who explained it was hard for local farmers to produce certified organic foods, but that is what they are trying to bring to this area of Omaha. You can easily pass it up on Radial Hwy, since the sign s pretty small, but it is on the SE corner of 48th and Radial Hwy. Parking out front is dangerous along the Hwy, but I did see a lot in the back which I presume you can park. I hope they do well in this location.
