    Friend invited me as their +1 to join them to Craven Farms. When we got there, Kimi was already talking to a circle of other yelp elites and she asked us to join the circle where she introduced the farm. She mentioned that her husband was behind the bar, to check out the Christmas lights, and to try out mini golf which they let us have one free round to (unfortunately we skipped mini golf since it was one course with a lot of people). She mentioned that it was family friendly so kids could come too. They were giving out donuts and hot chocolate. The donut was really good and I thought about buying a bag from the gift shop. The hot chocolate had pretty much a topping bar which was cool. Inside there was a large Christmas tree which was great for pictures! The gift shop had a wide variety of items from books to fudge to decorations.

    This was my second time at Craven Farms and first time to a farm during the holiday time. They had decorated the farm beautifully with a Christmas tree, lights, and decor. The Yelp Elite VIP section was small which served donuts and a make your own hot cocoa bar. This did create a large line, I wish next time the cocoa and water were pre mixed to reduce the time in line. There was mini golf in the covered area outside the barn which which looked cute but was unsure of where to get the clubs and balls to play. It was fun to walk around the gift shop, outdoor area, and hang out in the barn.

    Fun event at a great place. It's a cool place, I enjoyed exploring the farm, and would love to spend more time at the farm in the future. We were welcomed by Kimi, she and her husband own the farm. She gave us a run down on all the things available at the farm. Love the hot chocolate bar and the apple cider donuts. Everyone we met was very friendly.

    Hot Cocoa Bar

    Brought my friend to this event and was there the full 2 hours. We were shown into the VIP area where we beat most of the line to the hot cocoa bar and first batch of donuts. The decor was cute and so festive, and we were able to stay toasty and warm while sipping on our cocoas and eating those delicious donuts! After that, we walked through the lit Christmas tree path and made a stop at the farm store where we met Mr. Pickles and made a mental note to come back for fudge later. We then headed over to play some mini golf after picking up our balls from a friendly staff member and grabbing our clubs from behind the first hole. We made sure to note the reindeer facts at each hole, and played through each of the holes before going back to the farm store to load up on fudge. We each bought a pound of fudge, which meant we got an extra half pound for free! (So far I've tried the chocolate peanut butter, chewy praline, and mint chocolate and the chocolate PB is my favorite). We ended the night back at the VIP area with one more cup of cocoa and another donut. We sat closer to the tree for the Christmas cheer and headed out when the event was over. The parking lot isn't lit, so navigating the mud to our car was a lil' treat to top off the night ;)

    This was my second yelp event I've been to and it was a blast! I brought my boyfriend along and went with my sister as well. I've been to Craven Farm before and love it! Arrived with a pretty muddy parking lot, typical for a farm! Lots of parking available though! The inside of the barn was decorated so beautifully and they had a gorgeous big real Christmas tree inside which made it magical Complimentary Donuts & Hot Chocolate & a game of Mini Golf! The clubs were right next to the mini golf entrance and you had to get a golf ball at the booth next to it! We got lots of great photos and it was cute how they had a kiss me booth!! The Christmas trees smelled SOOOO good!!! Explored the gift shop and went home with a hat and almost* a candle that smelled like the Christmas trees! It was $22 and not worth the price unfortunately. They had lots of cute items and lots of farm fresh edible items to buy! The fire spicy pickles looked delicious! Went and purchased a pretzel with cheese to go for around $7 and it came out nice and fresh & hot! We had a great time! The staff were all super friendly and checked in with us time and time again. Nobody was grumpy and there were no issues at all! Everyone seemed to have a good time! What a great time to kick off the holiday season!

    My first time at Craven Farm! What a beautiful barn and cute decorations. Had a lovely time making our own cocoa and adding such cute and festive toppings. The warm donuts were SO YUMMY. Glad we got to try, so I know I have to buy them the next time I visit. The market was so cute and we got some apple butter to take home. It's a giant jar! Mini golf: omg some of these holes were so hard, but fun to give it a good college try

    This was my second time at Craven, and it was fun to see what the farm is like when it's not spooky/corn maze season. Parking was easy, and all of the lights were so pretty. I loved the apple cider donuts (my new favorites) since they were fresh and so soft, and I'm always a sucker for hot chocolate, especially with mini marshmallows and whipped cream. It was really cool getting to meet one of the owners, Kimi, and everyone my plus one and I encountered were super nice and friendly. After the donuts and hot chocolate, we checked out the cute gift shop and played some mini golf. Thankfully on our way to the gift shop, we learned that we needed to ask for the golf balls but clubs were by the area. I forgot to take pictures of the mini golf area, but it was so much fun and so nice that it wasn't too crowded when we went. Definitely enjoyed my time at Craven!

    What a fun evening at Craven Farm! The indoor area had a cozy log cabin feel. Loved the giant Christmas tree, the lights, and decorations. The apple cider donuts were perfect! And the hot coco bar was well stocked with all the options for toppings. We played a round of mini golf! The mini golf area was fully covered. Each hole was a little close together so it did get a bit congested, but maybe that's because we had such a great Yelp event turnout all at the same time! The gift shop had lots of seasonal things and moderate prices. We enjoyed looking at the variety of trees. Bathrooms were warm and clean! Staff everywhere was so friendly and welcoming.

    First time at Craven Farm. They have Christmas lights and decor outside and inside the barns, with a beautiful Xmas tree. The (apple cinnamon?) mini donuts that we got for snacks was delicious. Fresh and soft, and not super sweet. We could also make your own hot chocolate with various toppings for decoration, although that takes time and created a long line. Good to get there early. In addition to snacks, we can play a round of mini golf. They have a 9 hole course in a covered area, and that was pretty fun. Thanks Yelp for fun event.

    Kimi did a fantastic job hosting all of the Yelpers!! Very sweet and engaging ! The farm is very charming, and was festively fun. Mini golf was great especially the reindeer facts! The event barn was decorated beautifully, and the space is perfect for events! All staff we encountered were so friendly and helpful, they all thanked us for coming to the farm. We went to the market onsite and picked out some fudge (which is delicious), strawberry preserve, spicy dill pickles, corn nuts, cookies and a craven farms sticker. On our way out we also picked up a beautiful and fragrant wreath. Downsides: Some people were playing mini golf and others were just popping around to different open holes regardless if it was next numerically. I know we were cut off while playing our game by this behavior. Also, it could have been a bit more organized, I know we Yelpers all come in a once and it can be overwhelming standing in long times. Overall I would recommend taking the time to check out this family run farm !!

    I had an amazing time here! There were plenty of delicious toppings for the hot chocolate. The mini donuts were very sweet but very good, I got mine when they brought out a fresh batch and it was delicious warm! We got free mini golf which was fun. It's outdoors but there is a cover over the mini golf area. The gift shop has many different jams, syrups and pickled veggies in jars for sale! I got a cheese pizza and pretzel w/cheese and they were both delicious!

    Such a cute family farm and every one was super friendly! The mini cider donuts were very light and the Swiss Miss cocoa station was a flashback to 90s childhood! We were hoping to walk away with a Christmas tree, but it was hard to tell the fullness since many were wrapped up. Sadly, the young Man who was working the tree area seemed grumpy when we said we were just looking, which sort of halted our tree exploration. The wreaths however were absolutely adorable and LOVED the gnome themes. We opted to walk away with several cups of fudge and some maple syrup since hubs didn't want to risk the wreaths drying out before Christmas. I think we will return in the fall, as the pumpkin patches looked as though they definitely thrived and would love to see the animals. Overall a cute event but seemed a bit cramped, so we unfortunately never got to do the mini golf (and couldn't tell where we were supposed to get the clubs). Really wish the Christmas tree selection was more spaced out so you could walk through the open trees, they smelled super good! I know it can be a pain to wrap them for transport but it's so hard to tell what your getting! Side note, price per footage is pretty good. We would have totally purchased one if we could really see them!

    Thank you Alexa D.for the event. I might never have known about this place or even thought of coming here. So glad I did! A super warm welcome for Yelp Elite with a hot chocolate bar and fresh donuts. Also a crackling fire to sit by and warm up if needed. An adorable miniature golf course under a barn. I didn't play, but people seemed to be enjoying it. The gift store had loads of great stuff and Christmas gifts. They also sold of course, Christmas trees. The prices seemed fair, but I haven't bought a tree in years. Super fun legit farm. Parking in the mud and all. Good times Elite Yelping! SYOY.

    This is our favorite u-cut tree farm! The owners are lovely people and have the biggest hearts. We…read morehave always been treated with kindness and appreciation. It is picturesque and run by a local family for a few generations. The view of the Snohomish valley is breathtaking! Seeing wildlife is apart of this experience (eagles, hawks, migrating swans, bunnies, ..etc). If it's a clear flying day, the chances of seeing a plane on its landing path are high. (So worth it for the view). During covid they had their barn closed to the public but they have reopened it this year. Such a fun experience for the younger kids. They had free hot cider and hot chocolate. The model train was a big hit for us. They are selling Christmas wreaths, swag, table centerpieces, garland, and a few other goodies. We have always had wonderful experiences with our fresh cut trees. Im not sure how the previous poster had a dead tree because you have complete power in your choice of tree because you are cutting it down. Potentially a user error by not watering it? Once you cut your tree and haul it to the front with a cart, they shake it out and wrap it for easy hauling. We always bring our own tie downs for securing our tree to our truck but they have twine in case you forgot. It's an overall wonderful experience in the outdoors and we look forward to it every year!

    We had a great experience today at Campbell's tree farm. When we arrived we found someone who…read morehelped point us to an area with some trees of the size we were looking for and had someone come over to cut down the tree we wanted for us and take it back to be wrapped up and then put on our car. They had no shortage of people to help. They were all very friendly. Be sure to bring small bills for tips. This tree farm is more expensive than Long's tree farm that we went to last year, but in my opinion the trees are nicer and with the extra help, it's definitely worth it for us. The only reason i didn't give this place 5 stars is that the different varieties were all mixed together and there was no labelling of what trees are which variety, so if you are looking for a specific variety of tree and your tree identification skills are lacking, it may be tricky finding the variety you are looking for.

    Yup yup yup!! This…read moreis an excellent nursery. I'll make this short. Prices are fantastic. Selection is fantastic. Service is fantastic. and its soooo pretty! A quick update: Someone said they are pricey. I buy plants from everywhere, this nursery has truly fantastic prices. Example: I just purchased 2 mini dwarf apples trees from a nursery not too far away, they were $94 each. Mcaulliffes has espaliered (very expensive way to grow trees) pears for $64 each! Espaliered! Blows my mind. That is the deal of the century.

It feels like it is someone's personal garden that is shared with visitors. Sometimes it can be a little challenging to find things, but it is usually a fun hunt. After spending 20 min searching we finally found a row of lime colored hydrangea and one pink one. My daughter happily picked it up and loaded it in the cart as it was the one thing we came to find and she was so proud she was the one who spotted it. It takes a lot to get my teenaged daughter to spend time with me, but today I was able to bribe her with a stop to Snohomish pie co as this was a belated birthday gift to me and we also needed dessert. We wondered down towards the trees on our way to check out when an employee an up to us asking if we found the pink one standing with other hydrangeas. We confirmed yes and she said it was intended for someone else. I asked to take a pic of the tag and she then picked it up and took it away. We were incredibly shocked and disappointed. Although we had a few other things on our cart after chatting with another team member we chose to not purchase. That interaction ruined our fun mom daughter date. As I was leaving I happened to to see the employee and after sending my daughter to the car with our pup I approached to just share with "Mikayla" how disappointed and upset we were both leaving. I wanted to express that it wasn't just a purchase today, but us spending some of our last years/months together before she is too busy for me with her own life. Mikayla was not empathetic an all and acted very matter of fact in that she had no control over it. The fact is it wasn't sold, wasn't tagged, not on a cart and no one was near them. I asked her name and she was away sharing over her shoulder while rolling her eyes "have a nice day". I was already on the verge of tears and although my intention was not to be mad and just express how it had really dampened our day I felt completely disregarded and chose to seek out a manager. After approaching another team member he let me know he'd grab someone to speak with me. "Mikayla" approached and offered to see when they'd get more in and I shared I could easily look online myself or go to flower world. I was able to talk with Anne who seemed to understand what I was trying to convey. I just needed someone to listen to my perspective five. She also offered that they could keep an eye out, but because I was crying I shared it wouldn't change what happened. It's just a plant at a store, but it wasn't just that for us and someone walking around with a radio disregarding anyone but her list of things she needed to do really broke our hearts. Lesson learned, not all of mccaulifes employee exude the same helpfulness and care as the others.
