    When you think of farm, you usually think of fields of grain, cow pastures, barns, etc. Faranda's…read morehas some of that, but not all. There is a cornfield, barn, and llamas. Yes, llamas. Throughout the year Faranda's holds different events. The most popular being around Halloween. The cornfield becomes a maze and the rest of the area is covered in many different activities for the family to enjoy. The hayride is a nice leisurely thing to do while here too. The different activities range from a playground to slingshot bulls eye. There is a concession area to buy some snacks and there are several small gifts that can be purchased. Other events held throughout the year are their Garlic Festival and Harvest Festival. Worth a look if you are into the harvest/fall festival type of things.

    We visited the farm to meet up with some friends during their fall festival…read more It's a drive from the Pittsburgh area (about an hour and 15 minutes) but the plus side is that it isn't as crazy crowded as the more local ones. That being said, it is a little more "homey" than others (but less commercial). The admission price is pretty standard for what it includes (and kids two and under are free.) The corn maze covers a lot of ground and was fun to walk through. Unfortunately we didn't realize there were questions that gave clues as to which direction to go in. Thankfully we still made it through just fine. The hayride is a nice length of time and takes you on the outer edge of the farm. It is about as comfortable as hayrides get and doesn't bounce you around too much. Other activities include corn hole, sling shot and a whole toddler area. It was nice to have a variety of activities that weren't over crowded and didn't cost extra money. There is Food Available on side including haluski, hotdogs and dessert items (like whoopie pies) and they are affordably priced. A nice place to visit to get in your fall fix without all the crowds and added fees.

    If you have a chance to visit this farm, do it! The tour experience is $9 per person and worth…read moreevery penny. You start the tour with a little bit of information about the farm and it's history. You then proceed to the automated milking machine area. It is fascinating. Totally automated. The cows choose when to enter and the machine takes care of the rest. It automatically washes them, connects, milks, analyzes quality and amount of milk and then completes the process. During the tour we saw three different cows get milked and were able to ask a ton of questions. After viewing this portion we entered the barn where all the cows currently being milked are. It was fun seeing their different personalities through how they interacted (or didn't) with the visitors. They even have cow massagers! Next we saw the calves. Some were born as recent as last week. Then came the hayride. It was a 20ish minute ride through the farm's beautiful property. One of the farm's owners was on with us to answer questions. I think the highlight for everyone was the tasting at the end. Each guest is given an individual container with several varieties that we tasted in a particular order. My favorite was the cheese curds. My daughter loved the pepper Jack and my son loved the pizza cheese. We also sampled the quark cheese spread (which is kind of a combination of cream cheese and goat cheese in texture and flavor). The tasting was completed with their chocolates which are stuffed with their quark cheese. Amazing. When the tour was completed we were free to visit with the cows again or make some purchases. Such a great experience that I highly recommend to everyone!
