We went with out of town family and everyone had such a great time. So much fun for the kiddos and us adults had a great time as well. We did the combo which is apple picking and activities. It was nice that you pay upfront and then don't have to worry about paying with the exception of a few activities like pony rides and apple canon. We were surprised by how many activities were included! Pricing I thought was reasonable given everything that's included. The combo actually made it cheaper than a few other places I was considering. My favorite thing though was probably the apple cider slushies and the donuts. YUM! If you're looking for an entire day to spend together as a family this is a great option. Can't wait to go back again.

Read my May, 2020 review for more details and background. Since that visit, we were delighted to return because 1) The stores are open!!! and 2) the prize-winning outdoor farmers market is open through October. After that, it becomes the Winter Farmers Market and moves indoors to a building on the McHenry County Fairgrounds. Everything you could want is available -- cheese, baked goods, apples, sweet corn, yogurt, plants, honey, eggs, and so on. Check out a new vendor, House of Brasile -- a designer who has created a line of unique, reasonably-priced face masks.

update to my May, 2020 review: To order lunch in advance, go to the website and click on the calendar. The weekly menu will pop up. Disposable utensils and napkins are included. This week's vegan lunches were OUTSTANDING -- beautifully presented, flavourful, and healthy.
