Patterson Farms

Fall in Ohio is one of the best times of the year--and a place to take it all in is Patterson Farms.

We loaded up for a tractor ride out to the field where they had acres of corn mazes, pumpkin patches, play houses, hay to play on, slides, and numerous other FUN things.

We passed the apple orchards...(they offer pick your own apples and Strawberries!)

and ended up at the tepee/canoe sandbox.

And slowly made our way through the MANY play structures...

seriously, this place was AMAZING!! This will be our go to place for the rest of the time we are here...it was truly magical.

Back hidden in the woods was a big wooden fort and a 50 foot slide!
(and hundreds of thousands of leaves)

We munched some freshly picked apples....

And tested out tractors...

And found our way through a corn maze...

Was the perfect way to spend a fall day!

Because this is a seasonal thing to do, the info changes year to year. You can find more about their family fun fest here!

Amish Country - Hershberger Farm

HERSHBERGER FARM in Amish Country.

With small children, we were looking for a one stop shop in Amish Country, where we could experience some of everything without paying an arm and a leg. :) I feel like we definitely found that here!

The farm has a good size free petting zoo, with the option to ride ponies ($3.00 per person) and take a ride in an Amish buggy ($5.00). Also at this location was a cute little store, with loads of handmade goods and toys, and another store with bakery items, fruits, and veggies. There were lots of things to sample (which were ALL delicious) and the prices were REALLY reasonable for food items. We brought back a HUGE cantaloupe that was DELICIOUS!

There is also a place to buy lunch--they sell sandwiches, burgers, fries, etc. Some of everything. We felt that food was kind of pricey, but it was also served in good size portions. Our 3 small kids split one burger and fries and were full. (I want to say it was like $5 for a burger and fries, no drink included).

Fresh kettle corn was being made the whole time we were there, and they had yummy samples of that--(definitely pick up a bag! IT WAS SOOO GOOD!)

All in all we thought it was a great place to go to see the sights. If you have more time or aren't with kiddos, there are lots of shops and great places to stop along the way (and in Berlin, a short distance away).

How do I get there?
