Sadly, this little pumpkin patch has declined over the years. It used to be our favorite little…read morelocal place to go without the insane business like Rutledge. They used to have it set up so you could go out into their big fields and pick out all different varieties of pumpkins and they were reasonably priced. Now, the pumpkins are lined up in a row in a lawn area and there is nothing in their fields I wondered out loud if they even grew them there and the lady said they did but then why not leave them on the vine or in the field for the experience? It was a Saturday and not busy at all so I'm guessing others are bummed by the change as well. Pumpkin prices are not marked. We paid 40.00 for 3 medium sized pumpkins and 4 tiny decorative pumpkins. Afterwards we went to Walmart for some groceries and saw similar sized pumpkins for 3.97 a piece for large and 1.00 for tiny ones. We like to support local but I think we will pass next year. Cute little set up for a photo but otherwise just meh.

Boistfort Valley Farm operates both summer and winter CSA drop-offs in the Puget Sound region…read moreChehalis to Seattle). So far, I have only used the winter program, but it the pricing is competitive, the produce excellent and the quantities more than generous. With Mosby's changing their business model, I plan to move my summer CSA to Boistfort, as well. What triggered me to post a review today was an issue that I had moving my CSA drop-off. After some technical difficulties and confusing confirmations on the website, I discovered that my drop-off had not been moved at all. Flustered, I spent a Tuesday trying to get a hold of a human being to confirm the change in my schedule. This morning, well after the 11th hour and after I had resigned to forfeiting my box, I received a call from Rachel at the farm, confirming that she would have the driver add a box to my preferred drop site (replete with cheese), and confirming some additional information with me for my future service and any issues that might arise. It has been a long time since I've had a truly reassuring experience with customer service; the digital age seems to have dehumanized everything, and having more options has somehow made everything more difficult. I really am pleased to know that there are decent people growing the food that feeds my family, and hope to make the drive out to see the farm myself next summer.

I enjoyed the all natural aspect of this patch more than others that typically have nice neat rows and whatnot. This one just felt more farm like and messy, in a good way. My only issue was the paying to get in part, then 3 pumpkins being nearly $60. I thought we HAD to pay admission to get in, but afterwards it seemed as if I didn't need to. Admission is $10 a person & you get unlimited bouncy house and hay rides. But later I noticed you can pay separate for hay rides, so overall I was kinda sad I paid entry cause we could've done without. Oh well. Anyhoo, not a bad little pumpkin patch that's local and not too out of our way.

This is like an old growth blueberry forest gone wild! The bushes are taller than my 6'4" hubby and…read morewider than our SUV is long. There are 7 acres to roam, they say with varieties ripening from early summer until early fall, but from what I could tell, there weren't obvious sections. And barely true paths. In mid July, we set out to get only a large bowlful to have on our Long Beach getaway, not enough for jam or to freeze. In several more weeks. The picking will be easy, but as it was, we walked away from the barn to the end of the bushes looking for bushes full of ripe berries. Not finding them, we turned back settling on bushes with branches that had small clumps of ripe ones. In other words, we were not cleaning a branch or bush, but rather carefully plucking a small handful on a branch and moving to another. Slow but steady going, with lots of not quite fully ripe, but all delicious! And we had a very fun and peaceful time, with the farm to us and the birds and a tree frog that jumped on my arm. ( I'm not going to lie that I'm not sure if he or I was more startled, lol!) You head back to the barn to self-pay on the honor system, which is also pretty cool. Yeah, great place in the summer. Would like to try cranberrying in the fall!

Ok- I went to pick blueberries and wish there had been a sign that said, "turn right on dirt road…read moreto pay for and pick blueberries." Instead, I went straight down the road to the farm (closed on the weekends), and a woman screamed me. "Didn't you see the sign???? The farm is closed. You're only the 17th person to come down here." So here's a suggestion: BETTER SIGNAGE. No most people don't know to go to the little shed to get a bucket and pay on the honor system. Aside from that, the blueberries were fantastic and only 2$ a pound, and yes you can pick when the farm is closed. Bring cash.

Our annual Christmas tree hunt goes not farther than Schilter Family Farm…read more The Thanksgiving week end usually slams this tree farm. However, we always find a quality Noble fir if even we have to hunt a bit. This year was REALLY unusual. The Monday after T Day we went with the idea we'd have to spend time searching. The most helpful young man pointed us to a new field of Nobles. And there, no more than 10 feet in from the path was IT (visions of Clark Griswold!). There were countless more even after that Turkey Day rush. The same man came by in his tractor and asked if he could cut it down for us. He had a chain saw. I had a hand saw. No brainer!! The service and selection are first class. Topping this off is the gift shop, where you pay, has all sorts of Christmas related things, including fresh wreaths (which we bought)
