We drove more than 1 hour to go this farm, I called in the morning to confirm about sunflower field, for which the answer was that they have sunflower field. After reaching we found out they don’t have much sunflower, you can see on the pic, only 3 rows of sunflowers. So we decided to make our drive worth and do the u pick vegetables. We picked many veggies and eggplants, after picking the small eggplants we saw the sign of $2 per eggplant, we decided not to waste the produce and kept it in our bag. We missed the sign of u pick vegetables rates, which was posted at the farm entrance, because we came for sunflower field, not to pick vegetables. We were charged $2 per eggplant at the checkout for the tiniest one too. I requested them and told them honestly about my miss understanding, I even spoke to the farm manager, he was rude and said I have to pay what I picked. I get it that I missed reading the sign, but I am requesting for a discount, rather then throwing and wasting the produce in the field, as many people have done, you could see the produce being wasted in the fields. I had paid $38 for these 19 eggplants. Seriously!! I am sorry but I owe a business too, sometimes depending on the situation I had made exceptions, this kind of dealing is not at all appreciated. I would never recommend this farm to anyone, not worth my drive and time.

The Lavender festival was awesome! Donuts and cider is very good. Restaurant is open year round. Fun place for the family.

Blake’s Cider Mill  is a fun place to visit.  It is one of the few cider mills open all year long and is still producing Cider.  If you have little kids, they have a fun kids area that you need tickets for.   The gift shop is amazing,  It has various products from the Orchard plus fresh cider.    They looked like they had events all weekends during the summer.   Food ranged on pricing.  Some places were very good and others were overpriced.

I don't know the cost for kids, but what is there for them depends on day. On weekends in the Fall, I know that have a large haunted house, train rides, hayrides, bouncy house, straw mountains, a tricycle race track, book reading one of the barns, zombie paintball, probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. They have quite a but of stuff for kids on the weekends.

Really depends on weather, nicer it is, the busier it is but on a weekday it shouldn't be that busy early in the day.

Are photography mini sessions allowed or is there a fee for photographing on the property?

Anastasia Abdoo (anastasia kay) | Oct 25, 2021
David Fileccia | Oct 26, 2021

You can take all the pics you want, but keep in mind that the crowds are large & its probable they would interfere with your photo shoot. Also, most folks want to take photos back in the "U-pick" area, which is a $20 minimum fee just to go back there. I know earlier in the season during the "sunflower festival", Blake's did infact offer photo sessions. It was "bring your own photographer" tho. It's hard to accommodate photo sessions this time of year seeing it is a working farm.

Is there other days I can go in the sunflower fields?

Mela Allen | Sep 25, 2021
david Fileccia | Sep 26, 2021

I believe all the sunflowers are gone due to the "sunflower festival " they just had this past weekend. Matter fact I know there all gone. My wife works there and she told me. So pretty good source. If you go past Blake to the north and turn left onto romeo plank rd. And take that down a couple miles there is a place called " VANHOUTES. Not certain on the spelling. Pronounced (van-hoots). I drove past there yesterday(monday) and seen that they still had some sunflowers that people were picking. Try there.
