    I went with my wife and toddler to see the tulips here in May. While the farm and flowers…read morethemselves were quite nice, there were several factors that made this a negative experience. The primary one, that I'll write about here, was very poor line management and a huge lack of clarity. They have "Tickets" and "Wristbands" buying a "ticket" makes you eligible for a "wristband, but they are not the same thing. They had a terrible solution. Where you wait in an insanely long line (literally an hour long) to get a "ticket" then you have to go all the way back to another insanely long line to get a "wristband" in order to get in the hayride that takes you to the flowers (they would not allow people to walk). There was not clear signage which lead to a lot of confusion that really slowed things down. What made things worse is that we were there right at opening time, so we completed the idiotic process properly. But about an hour in the staff realized how bad their idea was, and tried to combine the lines which led to a ton of people being able to budge us, which was really unfortunate and frustrating. I certainly would never visit this place again on a weekend. It was such a poor experience. Maybe going during the week when visitation is not at peak could be feasible.

    Went back after a few years. It was a lot busier which is to be expected however they can not…read morehandle how many people are going. There are no signs telling you where to get what. We bought tickets online in advance, but there was no sign for online sales. Then once we finally found the right line there's only one iPad so the guy had to walk away to get it to scan our tickets. Once you get out of the main area (we ended up walking because only two trackers were going and the line was super long) it was good. We liked the lower area but the front was a total mess and took way more time than it needed to. Pretty disappointed. Hopefully they can fix the front area before next season. Also, there were SO many bees.

The slides they have looked fun for bigger kids. They had some picture opportunities which my family liked. I loved the hay area with pumpkins for photo ops. We mainly came for Rosie's Farm Yard and Petting Zoo. It was definitely smaller than expected / advertised. I believe it was $5 per person including parents if they wanted to join in/ had a hesitant toddler like myself! We only had about 2-3 minutes in the petting zoo before rotating out. They had a few bunnies, chickens, a pony, and donkey in a very small enclosure. Not sure if I would go again for the petting zoo but I promised my toddler we would go, and that's why I still went through with it when I saw how small the enclosure was and how little time they were going the kids to pet the animals. My favorite part was the food trucks. We had some incredible mini donuts and amazing popcorn! Some of the best I've had. I would definitely be back for the food trucks alone. Overall it was a nice local pumpkin farm if you don't want to drive too far from home.

The farm was busy but not overwhelming, and we were able to find several perfect pumpkins (and some smaller gourds) about a week before Halloween. The hay ride to the pumpkin picking patch was charming, but I also appreciated the pumpkin selection available near the entrance. There were also a few food trucks, with burgers, coffee, and some very intriguing teas. The overall ambience of the farm was beautiful and perfect for some weekend fall fun. We will definitely be back next year to try out even more!

    Why 2 stars? Our…read morefamily recently visited Lorence's Berry Farm for strawberry picking and had mixed feelings about the experience. On the positive side, the strawberries were abundant, vibrant, juicy, and very easy to pick. We had three generations together for a fun family outing, including my 4-month-old and 1-year-old granddaughters, and we were excited to spend time outdoors making memories. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by an interaction with an older gentleman who appears to have worked there for quite some time. After a two-hour drive, I briefly pulled over to speak with my daughters and figure out where we should park before unloading the children and heading to the fields. We were apparently stopped in an area where parking was not allowed, although there was no sign indicating that. Rather than approaching us politely, he immediately began yelling. I explained that we were simply trying to get a game plan together and that a softer approach would have been appreciated. Instead of de-escalating the situation, he continued to yell as I drove away to find a proper parking spot. What was most disappointing was that he then directed his yelling toward my daughters while they were standing with my granddaughters. The commotion upset my 1-year-old granddaughter to the point that she started crying, while my infant granddaughter and daughter looked on. Later, I shared my experience with another employee, who apologized for the earlier behavior. However, while we were in line paying, we witnessed the same gentleman confront another visitor who had parked in the area because she could not find handicap-accessible parking. He berated her, refused to provide his name when asked, and the interaction became so uncomfortable that she began recording the encounter on her phone. Ironically, a short while later, the very same gentleman approached me and apologized for his actions earlier. While I appreciated the gesture, he immediately followed it by explaining that "it's a stressful thing," which felt more like a justification for his behavior than a sincere acknowledgment of how his actions affected visitors. The strawberries were wonderful, and the farm itself has the potential to be a great family destination. The fruit quality and ease of picking made for an enjoyable outing, but customer service and the way guests are treated matter just as much as the product. Unfortunately, one employee's repeated behavior toward multiple customers significantly detracted from what otherwise could have been a very positive family experience.

Various crops or types come and go; just know it is all delicious, well worth drive. Now the asparagus is almost done. Come early as it sells out right away in the morning. Soon they told me the raspberry crop will be ready. End of July or so. Great Strawberry smell as soon as you drive in. Wonderful fresh strawberry smell in your car ride home. Easy drive out here. The staff are attentive and waiting for you. Enjoy!

    It was our first time visiting this place and I liked it quite a bit…read more 1. Strawberry The whole point of coming here was to pick strawberry. When we arrived, which was the last day of their operation, we were told to go to a specific row to pick. The berries tasted good and there were enough of them. It is important to pick where they tell you to pick, as most rows have nothing left to pick. They know where one should pick and direct you. They aren't too big in size, not too sweet either. It is solid decent strawberry you will find here. 2. Location It is about 30 or so miles from twin cities, depending on your origin of travel point. It is quite straight forward drive and you can't miss it. Had no trouble finding the place. 3. Price It costs about $2.50-$3 and the box will cost you extra $0.50. So, you can bring your own basket. But I personally like what they have. 4. Bathroom They have 3 mobile toilets, so it is not a problem. You do want to bring your own hand sanitizer if possible. You will need it! It's a strawberry patch, has no building or a shop. So, if you need water, pack it, if you need food, pack it, also don't forget the hand sanitizer. Unlike some apple farms, it is not a business that has shop that carries stuff you need. You need to bring everything you may need. All in all, it is a good place to come to relax and just quietly pick strawberries yourself. It has no extra bells and whistles and services, it is straight up strawberry picking place as the name says.

    We've been coming to fall harvest orchard for a few years and it seems to get better each time!…read moreEntrance is free but you can buy wristbands to be able to do more of the activities like the giant slide, large corn pit, mini putt, etc. The wristbands are well worth the price for the little ones in my opinion. They're able to do as many activities as they want and there are SO many to choose from. However, you can have plenty of fun there without the wristband. There is a smaller corn pit, animals to pet and feed, and other free activities to enjoy. There are also plenty of food trucks and spots to grab drinks which makes it ideal to spend a few hours there at least! In addition, they do have some apple trees to pick apples from if that's something you're looking for. It does get VERY busy so I'd recommend heading there pretty early. Looking forward to coming back for many years to come!

    A visit in September at Fall Harvest Orchard is such a fun and welcoming place for families!…read moreThere's plenty of parking, which makes it super easy to visit even on busy weekends. It's a great place for kids -- tons of space to explore, cute animals, and plenty of fun activities to keep everyone happy. I especially love the variety of apples -- so fresh, crisp, and flavorful. You can tell everything is grown and handled with care. Whether you're there to pick apples, grab some cider, or just enjoy the fall atmosphere, it's a wonderful experience all around. A perfect fall tradition spot -- highly recommend!
