What Our Visitors Say

Real experiences from farm friends

Our second visit to the Brand Family Farm was just as amazing as the first! We had an absolute blast playing in the corn, climbing the hay tower, and taking a relaxing hayride through the farm. The kids loved seeing the chickens, bouncing on the giant pumpkin, and we captured some incredible family photos that mom will treasure forever.

This apple orchard was a lot of fun. You take a hayride to where the apples and pumpkins are. They also have food and games to entertain kids. They have a little maze in their sunflower patch. They also have an apple shooting gun. They have hay piles for kids to climb on. And it's not too far from the cities. Their apples were really good. They do a good job of allowing people to only pick the apples that are ripe.

Visiting Brand Farms has become an annual tradition for my family. The farmland is gorgeous and expansive. My kids love the hayride and activities, like the corn pit and climbing hay bales. There are also funny scarecrows and farm animals. The owners and staff are so friendly and seem genuinely happy to share their farm with the public. Unlike other apple orchards and pumpkin patches that have become increasingly commercialized, this feels like an authentic farm experience. It's affordable, too!
