Hayrides

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!

What a fun place to go and celebrate autumn! They have a fun hayride that takes you to some outdoor activities and pick your own apples. There's a field of sunflowers too. Nice variety of apples, jams, salsas, cheese curds, fresh eggs and honey too!

Loved this place for our kiddo's field trip! Pumpkin patch, apple picking, tractor hayride, giant pumpkin bouncy, apple cannons, hay bales to climb, and more! Highly recommend visiting for your fall fun! Also, their gift shop has amazing nummies, especially the honey butter and Abdallah caramel.

Went this past weekend with friends and a toddler and would highly recommend. They have a lot going for them. Great, affordable hayride past chickens and dairy cows to the pumpkin patch, sunflower field, apples, and food trucks. Beautiful land, great people, come support this fourth generation family farm. Apple Cider Slush was very good. Just wish they sold their cider so I could enjoy at home.

Awesome family farm! We got to pet calves, see lots of chickens, take a hayride out to the apple picking and pumpkin patch. Our hayride driver was hilarious and made the kids laugh. Reasonable prices for everything! We are excited to try the apple crisp, apple sausage links, and apple brats we purchased 🍎. Another plus is they accept cash, credit, or venmo. We will definitely be back next year. Thank you Brand Farms!

We had a great time here! Took the kids for apple picking and pumpkins. They loved the hay ride and it's much closer than some of them other orchards around the area.

We've been anxious to visit Brand Farms after seeing their farm stand reestablished on Akin Rd in Farmington. It's evident that this farm and the work they have put in to making it a fun family destination is a labor of love. So much thought and care has been put into the details including offering a signature treat, "The Brandelicious," setting up beautifully designed photo op stations and employing kind and friendly staff. We took the hayride to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard and played on the hay tower. One element that could have been made more clear is that you need to register for the hayride and pay for your bag for gathering apples prior to heading out to the orchard. I got in line with the other people there and figured this out by the time I checked out thru observing the people in front of me. Maybe it was posted somewhere and I just missed it. In the end, we left with pumpkins, a bursting bag of apples, a pie and caramel apples. But most important, we left with great memories! Can't wait to visit again soon!

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. It was the perfect fall day filled with fun, laughter, and plenty of fresh air. We can't wait to come back again! Highly recommend for a fun family outing! 🍂

We took our kids and grandkids and we all had a blast! The apple cannons were a hit with the older boys and we all enjoyed the hayride, pumpkin patch with scarecrows, hay bale climbing, and warm donuts.
