Overview:
One farm quickly grew to a few, and now we harvest everything from apples to heirloom tomatoes to pumpkins. We decided to share our gifts by creating an agritourism attraction called the Applebarn. Every September, our communities tell us that they eagerly wait for the doors to open so they can pick their own apples or bring their families out for some fall family entertainment!
Thoughts:
This is a great place for a variety of reasons. Farm fresh produce, U-Pick fruit, family attractions and fun, this place has it all. The attractions were targeted more for the smaller kids with a petting zoo, bouncy castle, swings/park, push tractors and slides, but older kids will also have a blast with the corn maze, bouncing pillow, or corn/pumpkin cannon.
The store had a few fruits and vegetables or farm fresh cider for sale, as well as local honey.
If you are going to get some local fruits and vegetables then there is always something else you can do while there but, to visit for a couple of hours it is definitely geared more towards kids 10 and under.
Pros:
Lots to do and see for the little kids and some stuff for older kids too. I like that it is not just an attraction but also a local market as well. Decently priced.
Cons:
Parking was a bit confusing with 3 lots and no one directing traffic, had to circle the lot a couple of times to find a spot.
