Garden treasures is a cute spot-- it offers a lot of variety regarding crops and other goods, and…read moreit's just overall a very nice spot to walk around in, especially in the summertime! I am ALL for buying local, and if you can afford it, this spot could be perfect for you... I think most will find it's not the most affordable. Example-- they are selling a box of apples for $35 but you could easily buy 20 pounds of apples for $20 from many of the local families in Stanwood/Mt Vernon/ Arlington. Garlic bulbs at Garden treasures are 20$ a pound-- again, you can get boxes of garlic bulbs for much cheaper from other nearby family farms. I could go on. Again, if you can afford it, this is a cool one stop shop for good crops. For my family (we are farmers too) it's just way too expensive/ not a good bang for your buck at all... especially in this economy. My suggestion is-- look to FB marketplace for amazing deals on seasonal crops, you'll get a lot more for your dollar and you're still shopping local.

Besides produce, they also have local cheese and snacks along with a couple of grocery items. We didn't go into the nursery but the bouquet arrangements and potted flowers were beautiful. You have to ring the bell at the checkout, and someone will be there right away to help you. Service was friendly and prompt after ringing the bell.

We went to their Lavender in Lights event, and had a great time! They allow dogs (which I always…read morelove!), had a free coffee and hot chocolate station, and lots of good photo stops! The lights and farm itself seem very small, but they packed in a lot of photo ops and play stations. They had a soccer goal, basketball hoop, and "snow". The little shop was also open during the event, and had a good and surprisingly affordable selection of lavender products. I tried the huckleberry lavender lemonade and honey lavender taffy, both were excellent. The even itself was also free, so even though it was small, it was worth it, and a great way to get into the holiday spirit! I would recommend them to anyone in the area.

Overflow parking available street-side. Bathrooms: Yes in a bathroom trailer like the ones at fairs. It was clean and better than a port-a-potty Food: Some candy and cookies in the gift shop, but that is it. Sometimes ice cream. Drink: Free coffee and cocoa with their two keurigs. Payment methods: The have square for credit card purchases in their gift shop. But bring cash for the donation box if you plan to get coffee, unless you're a freeloader. Customer Service: Excellent, they were friendly when I bought my son a ginger bread cookie. Dog friendly: Yes, bring poop bags and a leash though. My wife found this place and brought me and our 3 year old son to it tonight. It was wonderful. Kind of dreamy if you will. Check out my videos, I captured the moment pretty well while also being playful/funny in a couple. There is a cool fire pit you can sit around and drink the cocoa and coffee. The farm had a trail that loops around the property. Beginning of the trail has a christmas light decorated soccer goal with lights. Then a big chair for pictures, followed by a bubble machine. The whole farm is light up like a christmas light village. Very pretty. Come around to the other side of the property and find a cool fake snow machine and a basketball hoop. Then a chicken coup on display for the littles. They also have a tractor the kids can sit on and take pictures with that lights up. And a dog that you can play fetch with. But the dog is in a yard you walk up to. Set up on purpose like that. The dog knows his/her role and is a great employee, loving everyone that comes by and throws the ball. Very neat place! Hope you like my pictures and videos, I tried my best to capture the whole place. Felt majestic.

We had a great time at Biringer's pumpkin patch! We picked Biringer's because they are one of the…read morefew dog friendly pumpkin patches in the area. We went on a Wednesday midday and had the entire place to ourselves, which was extra awesome for taking photos. The farm was festive and decorated for Halloween. Prices on the pumpkins vary by size from the u-pick patch. They also have a large variety of speciality pumpkins available for purchase. The main barn had snacks, honey, shirts, hoodies, and hats available for purchase as well. They also have an apple cannon, corn maze, and barrel train which we didn't do this time around, but also looked like fun. Overall it was a great experience and we look forward to visiting again in the future.

The stacked hay bales that were for the children to climb on were very dirty and moldy. The pumpkin prices were very high. The pumpkin fields had so many smashed and rotting pumpkins in them. Was hard to walk through without stepping on rotted pumpkin mess. I don't like to leave negative reviews, but this pumpkin patch was a huge disappointment. Will head to one of the pumpkin patches in Snohomish or Mount Vernon next year.

Love the random hand washing stations.. how thoughtful. We stopped by on a Friday at 10am and wasn't busy at all. Cute little shop before entering that provides a wide variety of snacks & goodies.

Wow! I went today and am absolutely floored by my experience!…read more The owner and his daughter were so incredibly welcoming and made sure to be inclusive of every person on the tour. The animals are beautiful, well cared for, and in spacious enclosures. (I can't fathom the negative reviews that I read criticizing them, it's simply not true!) The details: -tours are at 10,12,2&4 -the only restrooms are porta potty's - there is ample parking! -there is a hand wash station for when you're done with the tour with running water soap and paper towels -Definitely wear closed toe shoes as you'll be walking inside of the animal's enclosures. -there are a lot of picnic tables and chairs (and even swings!) to hang out and wait before your tour begins

I've been here two or three times before with my daughter when she was littler, and her friends…read morewere little, too. We loved it. It's so neat to be able to touch animals that few people see, let alone pet. I have a picture of her as a small child, almost lying on top of a wallaby in the sun. So, when a friend from Seattle asked that I meet her halfway from my north end location, this was the outing I chose for the day. The tour wasn't as long as I remembered it being, and the marsupials weren't quite as snuggly. However, the variety was amazing. There were tiny baby lemurs on display, a mama wallaby with a baby in her pouch, burros, kissing alpacas, emus you could pet... it's a pretty unique experience. I only removed one star because I felt rushed through. In the past I don't recall feeling like I was being held to a tight time limit, and that was a little disappointing. Overall, it's a cool experience, and I highly recommend it-- especially for those with children.

I may almost regret posting this review, because I hate to give away my secret, favorite farm…read more However, the owner is delightful as is her quaint farm, so I must share the secret. Dalia is the owner and sole operator of Blueberry Acres. She operates during season Mondays-Saturdays from 9:00am-6:00pm. This year (2013) the price for u-pick is $1.90, which is the same as last year's price. Her blueberries are mostly organic. She sprays only once at the beginning of crop. There is an outhouse on site. She takes cash and local checks only. These are the best and biggest blueberries I have ever tasted. Go and experience it for yourself, before the season is over. She also has a Facebook page: "Blueberry Acres". Enjoy, you'll be glad I sent you! Taking the kiddos with you? Be sure to read 'Blueberries for Sal" before you set out. The Caldecott award winning book will help set the scene.

I will give the other trees about 2-3 more years until they're found to be the "perfect" tree for some families. We were lucky enough to take one home.
