The best part is that they have a great website where you can place online orders for pickup, which is very convenient for me since it is located between my home and work. The donut truck in the fall is amazing. The donuts are fresh, hot, and delicious. We also went apple picking there and found a nice selection of apples. I highly recommend visiting if you are looking for yummy donuts, fresh produce and local products.

The scent in the air is a dream, so fresh and so sweet,But wait until you try the food, because it's a total treat. The lavender bread was baked to perfection, so soft and so warm, And the lavender ice cream? Oh man, it took me by storm! We shopped around the store for some goods to take back home, Then went out to the beautiful woods just to wander and roam. Feeding the cute little goats was the highlight of my day, We laughed and we smiled as they happily munched away. Every single product here is crafted with such care,You can feel the local love and magic in the air! We had the absolute best time and we will definitely be back,For the peaceful vibes, the nature trails, and a lavender snack! yes 5 stars very good

Group # - 12 Purpose…read more- Family Tradition Pros - Gene's is a place you can spend quality time with the family for about 15-20 minutes. Not a lot has changed since we started to go over 12 years ago. Cons - It's becoming an outdated Farm, as weird as it is to say that. The upkeep has been on the decline - this place could be a gold mine for the fall season if done right and with a little bit of marketing; but, I don't see that turning around anytime soon. If it wasn't a family tradition we wouldn't probably give it a go anymore. Likelihood to return (1-10) - 3 Reason - Pumpkin cost is up there. Nothing is ever new or exciting to see. Back in the day you could pet the animals that came ip to the fence - those are even going away.

We stumbled on this spot via TripAdvisor and thought it would be worth a stop from some of the…read morepictures we saw. I gotta say that while there are few people you will meet in this lifetime that you encounter briefly and leave a lasting impression on you, we had the opportunity to meet Gene the pumpkin man himself. Let me say that Gene is one of those guys you'll meet and never forget. A very charismatic fella, 80 years young, rocking an orange shirt and orange cowboy hat to go along with his orange themed farm, and he's been slangin' pumpkins since 1957. Eager to talk and get to know you a bit and even shares many stories from his lifetime. It's easy to see why he's a local favorite. Plenty of pumpkins to choose from and in all shapes and sizes. Everything is marked pretty clearly on price as well. I even noticed a small booth where they sell fresh honey! Cool! Note that they only take cash or checks (no credit cards) but Gene also seems to use the honor system as well where you can pay later on if you like. While we appreciated the gesture, we ended up purchasing two mini pumpkins with the little cash we did have. Gene finding out we had drove to see his farm from Chicago ended up picking out a bag full of assorted squash for us to take home and enjoy. And of course, some verbal instruction on how to prepare each one. After spending some time talking with him, he even gave us some local spots worth checking out nearby. What a guy! Nothing but good things to say about Gene and his pumpkin patch. Definitely worth a stop to see Gene and his orange themed farm if you find yourself in Kalamazoo! 'Til next time, cheers! 251/365

If you're looking for your standard market goodness, it can probably be found here. On top of that there's a few more unique vendors including a "Cheese Lady", chocolate covered bacon, Sinsational Cookies and more. If you're looking for fresh fruits and veggies, but someone else you're with just won't have any of those, rest assured they'll have a few sugary goods to select from as well. There's also a playground for small children on the backside of the market, which makes it easy to bring the family! This location is about 1/3 the size of the Bank St. market (from what I've been told) which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but may not be what some new folks might expect. The only downside to a smaller market is that there are fewer price points to select from for your produce. Other than that it's a great place!
