We have visited this restaurant many times as locals. Whether you are looking for a place to enjoy a family get together or a lunch date, you’ll find their food and atmosphere perfectly satisfying. It is comforting to know that the meals are prepared with consistency, and you won’t have to guess if it will be just a good the next time. I’ve never had a bad experience (lack of proper food preparation, taste, etc) or a meal that wasn’t as expected. The service is pretty great too! When you’re done, walk on over to the country store to get yourself a delicious pie or other homemade treat. Your kids will love the mini carts they can push on their own as you stroll through to check out other items (produce, pantry goods, kitchen and garden trinkets, and more).

We had a party of 7 hungry folks.  We were provided a nice private dining room with plenty of space & great natural lighting.  Our meals were well prepared & delicious.  Dustin, our waiter, was exceptionally patient, attentive, thorough & professional.

Eckerts is experiential. Having the opportunity to see, touch, smell, and taste seasonal products from the orchard is delightful! The pumpkin muffins and rolls make Autumn special. The crisp apples are juicy goodness. It's a family friendly place with many ideal spots for photos and memory-making.

Questions & Answers

Why do you have cheap bags for the apples that are picked? I barely got off the wagon today and the handle came off dropping the apples on concrete. I ended up with about a dozen bruised apples. Two of your employees saw this happen

John Oconnell | Oct 26, 2021
R Cusick | Oct 27, 2021

They're good-quality plastic bags now.

Are there pesticides used on the produce?

Nadia Muralles | Jan 25, 2019
Sommer Morgan | Jan 26, 2019

They do. Yes. I have seen it and asked them about it and they told me they never claimed to not use them.

Are there apples ripe to be picked? How many kinds of apple do they have ?

王淑禎 | Jan 25, 2020
China Johnson | Jan 26, 2020

Yes the apples are ripe. You pick them right off of the trees. They have the apples labeled in front of the trees so you know exactly which apples you are picking. They also have the pumpkins patch as well. They supply you bags for the apples and carts if you need them for the pumpkins.

Review the website for the General Store and you should find your answers, but be old-fashioned, call them and request a special order. That way it really has an importance to you.

What kind of tomatoes does Eckert grow

The cost of peaches vary depending on the size of peach and size of container they come in. We will be picking Eggplant, Patty Pan Squash, Onions, Kale, Pablano Peppers, Banana Peppers, Green Peppers, and Jalapeno Peppers, Yellow Squash and Zucchini. The cost of pick your own veggies is $10/half peck, $15/peck and $20/half bushel when available. https://www.eckerts.com/crop-updates-and-seasonal-farming?gclid=CjwKCAjwgqbpBRAREiwAF046JTPuTTdFVyQGoCxw1TW8dDLluKOUK1tWgiueZgnYcxvcMSqb15gGhRoCUYUQAvD_BwE

Angela Stewart | Jan 25, 2020
Ken Bass | Jan 26, 2020

The Sunflower Maze will Reopen in the Summer of 2019 Our Sunflower Maze uses the same concept as a corn maze, but with sunflowers instead. That means you can get up close, personal and even tickled by gigantic flowers that can’t help but make most people smile. A field access pass will be required to enter our picking areas. The all-day field access pass will allow you to enjoy fruit samples, unlimited rides to the picking areas, fresh farm air and lasting memories. Field access is $2/person.  We do offer discount days. Monday* field access is free, Tuesday-Thursday field access is half price, just $1/person. On Labor Day + Columbus Day, field access will be $2/person. As always, children under 2 are free. https://www.eckerts.com/sunflower-maze
