We recently took our grandson to the Belleville Eckert’s to pick strawberries on a sunny Friday morning and had the most wonderful time! He was so excited to ride the tractor-pulled wagon to the strawberry field, which was full of beautiful bright red strawberries! The strawberries are the tastiest and sweetest of any strawberries I have ever eaten. After we finished, the wagon took us back to where we paid for our strawberries. Everyone was so friendly. After we put our strawberries in the car, we decided to eat lunch at the restaurant.....everything we had was delicious. There’s also a little outdoor cafe area with tables where you can purchase ice cream cones, etc , and a cute indoor market area that we always love visiting. It was a fun experience and we will definitely return. We can’t wait for peach and apple picking season!See more..
Right up the road from a Certain Commercialized Farm is Braeutigam's - a hidden gem! We got to pet goats and pigs, pick out cute pumpkins, sample freshly pressed cider, and wander the orchards. Locals are on the money when they tell you to try the apple cider slushies and donuts! If you like Jr. Frosty-sized treats, get the small slushie. Perfectly sized. You can use cards on the farm, but you'll pay a little extra. Do yourself a favor and get $20-$40 cash to spend there instead. Between the excellent products and true family feel, we'll sure be back to Braeutigam.See more..
