  Comments from a visitor on September 25, 2011: "It is an enjoyable experience to be there. There are unique items in the market that you can't find anywhere else, like; homemade Salsa that has been given rave reviews; fig conserve that has been toasted as the best ever. New items are being added all the time. I look forward to the fall recipes that will be offered; like: pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, roasted pumpkin seeds, apple cider, and more. All crops are grown organically. They have preserves, jams, jellies, marmalade and honey. The honey comes right from the farm, raw and no additives. They have 9 varieties of figs growing. There is a pick your own pumpkin patch which has several varieties of pumpkins, gourds and squash growing. The new cow train is awesome. It is 10 cars that look like cows pulled by a tracker. There is also an in-ground inflatable pillow, which is huge in size; it is a big hit with children and adults. The hayride has been spookafide for Halloween; plus the barn. It is 300 acres of play ground with new attractions being added. "

Flower Picking Tips, and Information

Farms that offer U-pick or pick-your-own flowers are becoming more common.

• Once picked, quickly get the stems into water
• Get them out of the hot sun after picking to increase shelf life.  Cool shade is best.
• Re-cut stems while underwater - once you get home. Making a fresh cut, while the cut end is submerged helps the stem to take up water and avoid a vapor lock.
