Note: Beware the copycat websites like the one that stole our name and uses .farm extension: they copied my work and do NOT even update the info! I make updates EVERY day. They use tech tricks to get higher rankings, but have many more inaccuracies and out-dated info. Obviously, I cannot check every farm every day, but I do check as many as I can every day, and respond to all requests.  They don't. Don't support the scammers!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! And if you know of any farms I missed and want to add a farm, please let me know!   I'm making updates for this year as fast as I can - if you find anything out-of-date, wrong or not working - please let me know!

What's in season in December 2024, and other timely information:

Notes for December 2024: Crop growth is slowing down, except for Christmas tree farms and if you live in southern California, southern Texas, Florida or along the Gulf coast where citrus are starting, and believe it or not, the blueberry and strawberry season in those areas is about to begin. See your state harvest calendar . This year, much of the country is still seeing mild weather, so lettuce, peas, broccoli, cabbage  and other greens are thriving.  And this is a good time to get a canner and  learn how to preserve foods for the winter, like canning some applesauce, apple butter or jam, which make great gifts. As do your own homemade specialty liqueurs! How about homemade cranberry sauce or a pumpkin pie made from a real pumpkin for the holidays? See our comprehensive list of easy home canning, jam and jelly making, preserving, drying and freezing directions. You can access recipes and other resources from the drop down menus at the top of the page or the site search. A fun winter activity is to make your own ice cream, even gelato, or low fat or low sugar ice cream - see this page. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to write me!

Valentine's Day - February 14 - See this website for Valentines Day history, facts and Amazon's top picks for fast, easy, inexpensive gifts for the man, woman or children in your life!

Easter will be April 4, 2021 - if you want to take your children to a free Easter egg hunt - see our companion website to find a local Easter Egg hunt!

  Yelp reviews
  Google reviews
  Facebook reviews - these are very positive
  I agreed to remove most info about them; my experiences there several years ago (2016-2017) were terrible and there were reviews on Facebook in 2020 that their customer service still hasn't improved.
  Their reviews in Spring 2021 on Google are a bit better. More positive reviews. The complaints still some about unfriendly staff and high prices, but it sounds like they have improved some.
  Here are some quoted brief excerpts (you can go to Facebook to see the full reviews):
  If you go, please let me know how it was for you. I hate to give a farm an undeserved low rating, (it's very rare), and if they have improved, I would love to reflect that.
  A sampling of some of the criticisms:
  April 2021: , "we would not go back to Warbington. The staff is extremely unfriendly & unprepared".
  October 2020: Avoid it at all costs. Absolutely a rip off.
  October 2020: Ridiculously expensive for nothing. Not much to do. Not many animals. Not sure what kind of farm this is. BORING!
  April 10, 2018: "We recently had our daughter's birthday party there. While the farm was charming and fun for the kids the run around, their customer service was terrible. ..."
  March 26, 2018: "I went to the egg hunt and it was ok. It was high priced. ..."
  "t I was charged for a NEWBORN baby in 2016 $10 admission and $5 for me (adult)"
  October 22, 2017: "Warbington Farms sucks a**. I wish my family and I would have gone to Randy's pumpkin patch, or the one in Buford"
  December 10, 2017: "I paid nearly $30 for my kids to play on a snow covered playground. A lot of the "fun" things to do were misrepresented. It was so unorganized and no one seemed to know what was going on when..."
